Analysis of GRIN1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1997-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 1<br />Also known as: NR1; MRD8; GluN1; NMDA1; DEE101; NDHMSD; NDHMSR; NMD-R1; NMDAR1<br />The protein encoded by this gene is a critical subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, members of the glutamate receptor channel superfamily which are heteromeric protein complexes with multiple subunits arranged to form a ligand-gated ion channel. These subunits play a key role in synaptic plasticity, which is thought to underlie memory and learning. Cell-specific factors are thought to control the expression of different isoforms, possibly contributing to the functional diversity of the subunits. Alternative spliced transcript variants have been 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
