Two novel CAP proteins from the flatworm E. granulosus are described.
Topological analysis indicates the presence of typical CAP motifs with different degree of conservation.
3D deduced structure shows the characteristic folding of CAP proteins.
EgVAL1 and EgVAL2 are expressed at the rostellum region.
Subtle differences among E. granulosus VAL proteins suggest that they could perform different functions.
