Analysis of CDKN2B-AS1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1949-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: CDKN2B antisense RNA 1
Also known as: ANRIL; p15AS; PCAT12; CDKN2BAS; CDKN2B-AS; NCRNA00089
The gene is located in the CDKN2B-CDKN2A gene cluster on chromosome 9p21. The gene product is a functional RNA molecule that interacts with polycomb repressive complex-1 (PRC1) and -2 (PRC2), leading to epigenetic silencing of other genes in this cluster. This region is a significant genetic susceptibility locus for cardiovascular disease, and has also been linked to a number of other pathologies, including several cancers, intracranial aneurysm, type-2 diabetes, periodontitis, Alzheimer's disease, endometriosis, frailty in the elderly, and glaucoma . Multiple alternatively processed transcript variants have been detected, some of which may take the form of circular RNA molecules.




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

Gene mutation analysis.

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.

Materials

Sample: depends on the customer's analysis requirements
