Analysis of KIDINS220 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1123-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: KIDINS220 <br />Also known as: ARMS; SINO; VENARG<br />This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is preferentially expressed in the nervous system and controls neuronal cell survival, differentiation into exons and dendrites, and synaptic plasticity. The encoded protein interacts with membrane receptors, cytoplasmic signaling components, and cytoskeletal proteins, serving as a scaffold to mediate crosstalk between the neurotrophin pathway and other intracellular signaling pathways. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with the pathogenesis of various neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Natural mutations in this gene have been associated with syndromes such as spastic paraplegia, intellectual disability, nystagmus, and obesity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.




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
