Analysis of HSPB1 Gene Rearrangement by Southern Blot Technology (CAT#: STEM-MHT-0049-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: heat shock protein family B (small) member 1
Also known as: CMT2F; HMN2B; HSP27; HSP28; Hsp25; SRP27; HS.76067; HEL-S-102
This gene encodes a member of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. In response to environmental stress, the encoded protein is transported from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and acts as a chaperone to facilitate the correct folding of other proteins. This protein plays an important role in the differentiation of various cell types. The expression of this gene is associated with poor clinical prognosis of various human cancers, and the encoded protein may promote the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells, while protecting cancer cells from apoptosis. Mutations in this gene have been found in human patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and distal hereditary motor neuropathy.




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.
