Analysis of CYP7B1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1868-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily B member 1
Also known as: CP7B; CBAS3; SPG5A
This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. Cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases that catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids, and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein catalyzes the first reaction of the cholesterol catabolic pathway in extrahepatic tissues, converting cholesterol to bile acids. This enzyme may play a minor role in total bile acid synthesis, but may also be involved in the development of atherosclerosis, neurosteroid metabolism, and sex hormone synthesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG5 or HSP), an autosomal recessive disorder.




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
