Analysis of NRP1 Gene Rearrangement by Southern Blot Technology (CAT#: STEM-MHT-0042-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: neuropilin 1
Also known as: NP1; NRP; BDCA4; CD304; VEGF165R
The gene encodes one of two neuropirins that contain specific protein domains that enable them to participate in several different types of signaling pathways that control cell migration. Neuropirin contains a large N-terminal extracellular domain consisting of complement fixation, coagulation factor V/VIII, and meprin domains. These proteins also contain a short transmembrane domain and a small cytoplasmic domain. Neuropeptides bind many ligands and various types of co-receptors; they affect cell survival, migration and attraction. Some of the ligands and co-receptors that neuropirin binds are members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and signaling protein families. The protein was also identified as a co-receptor for SARS-CoV-2 (causing COVID-19) to infect host cells.




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.
