Depositor Comments

The full-length mouse Mer (994 amino acids) was cloned from a 16-day-old mouse embryo cDNA library. Addgene's quality control found the closest match to the insert sequence is mouse Mer (AA17-994) Sequence ID: NP_032613.1, with mutations I516V and Q860R. The plasmid should function as described in the associated article listed on the plasmid page above.
