Abstract:
The structure of SLITRK6 protein was predicted and analyzed through bioinformatics methods. The results revealed a molecular weight of approximately 95 109.61 Da and a theoretical isoelectric point (pI) of 6.07. Leucine (Leu) was the most abundant amino acid (15.5%), followed by serine (Ser, 7.7%) and glutamic acid (Glu, 6.9%), classifying it as a hydrophilic protein. A transmembrane domain was identified around position 600. Secondary structure composition comprised α-helices (10.46%), β-turns (7.37%), random coils(82.17%).Random coils prevailed in the three-dimensional structure.Phylogenetic analysis identified homologous SLITRK6 family members across species. The evolutionary tree demonstrated vertebrate clustering into distinct branches: reptiles and birds, mammals, and a rapidly evolving amphibian clade, consistent with established phylogeny.
