Analysis of FN1 Gene Rearrangement by Southern Blot Technology (CAT#: STEM-MHT-0054-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: fibronectin 1
Also known as: FN; CIG; FNZ; MSF; ED-B; FINC; GFND; LETS; GFND2; SMDCF
This gene encodes fibronectin, a glycoprotein that exists as a soluble dimer in plasma and as a dimer or multimer on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the mature protein. Fibronectin is involved in cellular adhesion and migration processes including embryogenesis, wound healing, blood coagulation, host defense and metastasis. The gene has three alternatively spliced regions with the potential to generate 20 different transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that undergoes proteolytic processing. The full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.




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.
