Analysis of ATP1A1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0132-LGZ)

Introduction

Also known as: CMT2DD; HOMGSMR2<br />The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the p-type cation transporting ATPase family and belongs to the Na+/K+ - ATPase subfamily. Na+/K+-ATPase is an integral membrane protein responsible for establishing and maintaining the electrochemical gradient of Na and K ions across the plasma membrane. These gradients are essential for osmoregulation, sodium-coupled transport of various organic and inorganic molecules, and electrical excitability in nerves and muscles. The enzyme is composed of two subunits, a larger catalytic subunit (α) and a smaller glycoprotein subunit (β). The catalytic subunit of Na+/K+ -atpase is encoded by multiple genes. This gene encodes the α1 subunit. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.




Principle

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is an experimental method applied to PCR experiments using RNA as the starting material. In this method, total or messenger RNA (mRNA) is first transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) by reverse transcriptase. Subsequently, qPCR reaction was performed using cDNA as template.

Applications

Charcot-marie-tooth disease, axonal, type 2DD

Procedure

1. Sample processing and preparation of PCR reaction system.
2. Add the amplification template, cover the PCR reaction cover, mix well, centrifuge at low speed instantaneously, and transfer to the PCR instrument.
3. Set the program for PCR amplification.
4. Data analysis.
