^a The band number corresponds to the same Roman numeral numbers as indicated in Figure2.
The identities of the bands, their NCBi accession numbers, the theoretical molecular weight values, as well as the number of peptide sequences identified, the corresponding percentage sequence coverage and the Mascot score are listed for MS/MS analysis (Individual ions scores > 16 indicate identity or extensive homology and were considered to be significant (p<0.05).
