Analysis of MMP26 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2287-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: matrix metallopeptidase 26
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family proteins are involved in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix during normal physiological processes such as embryonic development, reproduction and tissue remodeling, as well as disease processes such as arthritis and metastasis. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. The enzyme degrades type IV collagen, fibronectin, fibrinogen, and β-casein and activates matrix metalloproteinase-9 by cleavage. This protein differs from most MMP family members in that it lacks a conserved C-terminal protein domain. The encoded protein may promote cell invasion in a variety of human cancers.




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
