abstract：:A cDNA for a type II antifreeze protein was isolated from liver of smelt (Osmerus mordax). The predicted protein sequence is homologous to that from sea raven (Hemitripterus americanus) and both show homology to a family of calcium-dependent lectins. Smelt and sea raven belong to taxonomic orders believed to have dive...
