AAV with aMHC promoter driven Mito-roGFP1
This AAV expresses Mito-roGFP1 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.
The mitochondrial targeting sequence of human pyruvate dehydrogenase alpha 1 (PDHA1) is fused in-frame with the redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein (roGFP1). The Mito-roGFP1 is a biosensor for investigating the mitochondrial reduction-oxidation potential.
Ready-to-use AAV expressing Mito-roGFP1 driven by a cardiac aMHC promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
