A Catalog of Coding Sequence Variations in Salivary Proteins’ Genes Occurring during Recent Human Evolution

Saliva houses over 2000 proteins and peptides with poorly clarified functions, including proline-rich proteins, statherin, P-B peptides, histatins, cystatins, and amylases. Their genes are poorly conserved across related species, reflecting an evolutionary adaptation. We searched the nucleotide subs...
