Analysis of FOXP1 Gene Rearrangement by Southern Blot Technology (CAT#: STEM-MHT-0063-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: forkhead box P1
Also known as: MFH; QRF1; 12CC4; hFKH1B; HSPC215
This gene belongs to the P subfamily of the forkhead box (FOX) transcription factor family. Forkhead box transcription factors play important roles in the regulation of tissue- and cell-type-specific gene transcription during development and adulthood. The forkhead box P1 protein contains a DNA-binding domain and a protein-binding domain. This gene likely acts as a tumor suppressor gene as it is deleted in several tumor types and localizes to a chromosomal region containing tumor suppressor genes (3p14.1). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.




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.
