Depositor Comments

Primers used to amplify cDNA:
CCCAGCACTGTCAGGTGATT and CCCATTCCTACCATCACTCC

acta2 promoter = A 300 bp proximal promoter for acta2 and 2165 bp fragment from the acta2 intron 1. The two genomic fragments were fused in a PCR reaction to make a 2465 bp enhancer/promoter construct

Acta2 3'UTR is in reverse orientation with t1440del, t1454c and a1578g compared to reference sequence. Depositor states that these discrepancies do not affect plasmid function.
