Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...
