Post translational modifications occur in proteins and are sites where changes such as an addition of a phosphate group, acetyl group, or a methyl group can occur. There are many types of protein modifications, but we are going to focus on a protein phosphorylation event. Phosphorylation can occur on serine, threonine, or tyrosine. In general a phosphorylation "activates" the protein, but phosphorylation at different sites within the same protein can have different outcomes (1).

Conclusions
Looking at the predicted phosphorylation sites from NetPhos 3.1, it is no surprise at the amount of possible phosphorylation events. LPHN3 is a relatively long protein and the domains are highly conserved. But there appears to be a bit more differences in phosphorylation between zebrafish and humans than expected. With a 70% amino acid identity their post translational modifications appear to have diverged some. Yet keep in mind this is only a prediction tool and their actual phosphorylation patterns could be nearly identical.
