Analysis of EGLN1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0187-LGZ)

Introduction

Also known as: HPH2; PHD2; SM20; ECYT3; HALAH; HPH-2; HIFPH2; ZMYND6; C1orf12; HIF-PH2
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the post-translational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha proteins. HIF is a transcriptional complex that plays a central role in mammalian oxygen homeostasis. The protein functions as a cellular oxygen sensor, and under normal oxygen concentrations, prolyl hydroxylation is a key regulatory event that targets HIF subunits for proteasomal destruction via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial polycythemia type 3 (ECYT3).




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

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome, Erythrocytosis, familial

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
