AAV with aMHC promoter driven RFP

This AAV expresses RFP driven by a cardiac aMHC promoter.

αMHC(0.4) promoter is derived from the murine α-MHC gene (alpha-myosin heavy chain) and drives cardiac-specific expression. The length of this promoter is 0.4 Kb. Based on studies in primary cardiomyocytes, this aMHC(0.4) promoter gives an expression level that is comparable to that of a CMV promoter.

RFP has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 500nm/580nm. Other fluorescent proteins with similar spectrums include Kusabira Orange , mOrange, mOrange2, dTomato, tdTomato, DsRed, DsRed2, TurboRFP, and TagRFP
