Analysis of Cryba1 Gene Rearrangement by Southern Blot Technology (CAT#: STEM-MHT-0099-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: crystallin, beta A1
Also known as: BA3A1C; beta-A3
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of eye lens. Involved in several processes, including lens development in camera-type eye; negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of anoikis. Located in lysosome and nucleus. Used to study cataract; microphthalmia; and retinal detachment. Biomarker of ocular hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 10 multiple types. Orthologous to human CRYBA1 (crystallin beta A1).




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.
