Depositor Comments

The chicken voltage sensitive phosphatase (VSP) sequence used in this construct contains an E14K mutation, when compared to the reference sequence XP_417079.2. This mutation could be polymorphism at the site or a PCR error. The depositing laboratory states that the plasmid functions as described in the associated publication.
