Analysis of SCN1A Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1488-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1<br />Also known as: DEE6; DRVT; FEB3; FHM3; NAC1; SCN1; SMEI; DEE6A; DEE6B; EIEE6; FEB3A; HBSCI; GEFSP2; Nav1.1<br />Voltage-dependent sodium channels are heterogeneous complexes that regulate sodium exchange in the extracellular space and are critical for the generation and propagation of action potentials in muscle cells and neurons. Each sodium channel consists of a large, pore-forming, glycosylated α subunit and two smaller β subunits. The gene encodes a sodium channel alpha subunit with four homology domains, each containing six transmembrane domains. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures and epileptic encephalopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The RefSeq project decided to create four representative RefSeq records. Three of these transcript variants are supported by experimental evidence, while the fourth transcript variant contains alternate 5' untranslated exons, the exact combination of which has not been experimentally confirmed in the full-length transcript.




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.
