Analysis of S100A1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0636-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: S100 calcium binding protein A1<br />Also known as: S100; S100A; S100-alpha<br />The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 protein family, which contains two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a variety of cells and are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes, such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. The S100 gene includes at least 13 members, which are located on chromosome 1q21. This protein may play a role in stimulating Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, inhibiting microtubule assembly and inhibiting protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation. Reduced expression of this protein is associated with cardiomyopathy.




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
