Fig. 5. Phylogenetic analysis of NRF family amino acid sequences. The amino acid sequences of known or predicted members of the NRF family in zebrafish and pufferfish were obtained from the GenBank or genome databases and aligned with the human NRF family sequences. The tree was inferred using maximum parsimony within PAUP 4b 10. The results illustrate the conservation of NRF proteins in mammals and fish as well as the additional diversity in NRF3 forms present in pufferfish. Danio rerio (Dr), Takifugu (Fugu) rubripes (Fr), Homo sapiens (Hs).

The CB2 receptor has also been isolated from mouse (Shire et al. 1996b Valk et al. 1997), rat (Griffin et al. 2000 Brown et al. 2002), and the puffer fish Fugu rubripes (Elphick 2002). The CB2 receptor shows less homology between species than does CBi for instance, the human and mouse CB2 receptors share 82% amino acid identity (Shire et al. 1996b), and the mouse and rat 93% amino acid identity. The human, rat, and mouse sequences diverge at the C-terminus the mouse sequence is 13 amino acids shorter, whereas the rat clone is 50 amino acids longer than the human CB2 (Brown et al. 2002).

Genes encoding orthologues of the mammalian CBi and CB2 receptors have been identified in the puffer fish Fugu rubripes (Yamaguchi et al. 1996 Elphick 2002). This indicates that the existence of CBi and CB2 receptors in vertebrates can be traced back at least as far as the common ancestor of teleost fish like Fugu and...
