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....

Macrogen Korea has excellent prices and results, https://dna.macrogen.com/eng/

Hatem Zayed

I would try GENEWIZ

I would also look into: https://www.centogene.com/, but they are expensive

Joyce C Faler

Thank you Hatem Zayed and Giovanni Larama for your recommendations. Had a conference call with GENEWIZ that went quite well, waiting for the actual quotes now. We will also check out the other 2 companies for comparison.

You are most welcome Joyce, glad i could help

Danny Misiak

Hi Joyce,

I can recommend Novogene https://en.novogene.com/ .
