Analysis of NFASC Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0489-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: neurofascin<br />Also known as: NF; NRCAML; NEDCPMD<br />This gene encodes an L1 family immunoglobulin cell adhesion molecule with multiple IGcam and fibronectin domains. This protein plays a role in neurite outgrowth, neurite fasciculation, axon initial segment (AIS) and organization of Ranvier nodes on axons. Both the AIS and nodes of Ranvier contain high densities of voltage-gated Na+ (Nav) channels which are clustered by interactions with cytoskeletal and scaffolding proteins including this protein, gliomedin, ankyrin 3 (ankyrin-G), and betaIV spectrin. Links the AIS extracellular matrix with the intracellular cytoskeleton. This gene undergoes extensive alternative splicing, and the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.




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
