Conserved Sequence

Descriptor Spanish:

Secuencia Conservada

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	secuencia conservada
Scope note:	Secuencia de aminoácidos en un polipéptido o en los nucleótidos del ADN o ARN, que es similar en múltiples especies. Los conjuntos de secuencias conservadas conocidas constituyen una SECUENCIA DE CONSENSO. Los MOTIVOS DE AMINOÁCIDOS frecuentemente están compuestos por secuencias conservadas.
