Part:BBa_K4877006

Designed by: Team iGEM Bielefeld-CeBiTec 2023   Group: iGEM23_Bielefeld-CeBiTec   (2023-10-12)

The part consists of the 5'UTR of the human alpha globin 1 / hemoglobin subunit alpha 1 gene (HBA1; nucleotides 1-31). It does not contain the Kozak sequence.

The 5'UTR of human alpha globin 1 has been reported to be used in mRNA vaccines due to its stabilizing effects on mRNA [1].
