Analysis of ACVR2A Gene Rearrangement by Southern Blot Technology (CAT#: STEM-MHT-0083-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: activin A receptor type 2A
Also known as: ACVR2; ACTRII
This gene encodes a receptor that mediates the function of activin, a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (tgf-beta) superfamily involved in a variety of biological processes. The encoded protein is a transmembrane serine-threonine kinase receptor that mediates signaling by forming heterodimeric complexes with various combinations of type I and type II receptors and ligands in a cell-specific manner conduction. The encoded type II receptor is primarily involved in ligand binding and includes an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic serine-threonine kinase domain. The gene may be associated with susceptibility to preeclampsia, a pregnancy-related disorder that causes maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene.




Principle

Under certain conditions, two single strands of nucleic acid with certain homology can be specifically hybridized to form double strands according to the principle of base complementarity. Generally, DNA molecules to be detected are digested with restriction enzymes, separated by agar-gel electrophoresis, denatured and transferred to nitrocellulocellulose film or nylon film or other solid phase support according to their position in the gel, fixed and then reacted with DNA probes labeled with isotopes or other markers. This is followed by autoradiography or an enzyme reaction to detect the amount of specific DNA molecules. If the object to be tested contains a sequence that is complementary to the probe, the two are combined by the principle of base complementarity, and the free probe is washed and detected by self-development or other suitable techniques, thus revealing the fragment to be tested and its relative size.
