Details

• Types: DnaRegion
• Roles: Generator; engineered_region
• Sequences: BBa_K223042_sequence (Version 1)

Description

The Blh gene cleaves beta-carotene into retinal. It can be used in the pathway for the production of retinoic acid from beta-carotene in conjunction with the RALDH II genes.

Notes

The optimized coding sequence was used and it was altered for restriction sites.
