Analysis of FGFR1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1881-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: fibroblast growth factor receptor 1<br />Also known as: CEK; FLG; HH2; OGD; ECCL; FLT2; KAL2; BFGFR; CD331; FGFBR; FLT-2; HBGFR; N-SAM; FGFR-1; HRTFDS; bFGF-R-1<br />The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, and its amino acid sequence is highly conserved among members and throughout evolution. FGFR family members differ from each other in ligand affinity and tissue distribution. The full-length representative protein includes an extracellular region consisting of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment, and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of this protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, initiating a series of downstream signals that ultimately affect mitosis and differentiation. Members of this particular family bind acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors and are involved in limb induction. Mutations in this gene are associated with Pfeiffer syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Antley-Bixler syndrome, osteohemoglobin dysplasia, and autosomal dominant Kallmann syndrome. Chromosomal aberrations involving this gene have been associated with stem cell myeloproliferative disorders and stem cell leukemia-lymphoma syndromes. Alternative splicing variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described; however, not all variants have been fully described.




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
