High impact information on ACTA2

This method, when compared with the magnesium carbonate method of Ramsay (Clin. Chim. Acta 2: 221, 1957) by regression analysis and tests of precision, showed a negative bias for results by the alumina technique with respect to the magnesium carbonate method [1].
Assignment of the vascular smooth muscle actin gene ACTSA to human chromosome 10 [2].

Anatomical context of ACTA2

Human vascular smooth muscle actin gene (ACTSA) was cloned and its unique sequence was used as the hybridization probe for Southern blot analysis of DNAs from 18 rodent-human somatic cell hybrids; the gene was assigned to human chromosome 10 [2].
