ESTs virtually indentical to
COX-1 and COX-2
ESTs similar, but not
indentical to COX-1/-2

Strong similarities with
other genes indicate close
relationship of COX family
to another gene family -
probably with a different
function
Is it highly similar to
COX-1, COX-2 or both?
Is it only weakly similar?
If so, might it be more
similar to something else,
a putative COX-3?
