a. Which tissue showed higher expression?
b. Why actin is used?
The figure below shows Northern blot analysis of different human tissues. Three probes were used: PSAT, PHGDH and Actin.
Actin was used as a loading control, meaning transcription of actin is consistent between human tissues. Which tissue showed
the highest level of transcription of the PSAT gene?
