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....

Thank you so much. I will try and let you know.

Also consider cBioPortal, which will allows retrieving sets of normalized data curated from TCGA http://www.cbioportal.org/. Also please use Pearson coefficient only if you really expect linear correlations. Standard rank-based alternatives for non-linear correlations, such as Spearman rho, are available.
