Analysis of SLC8A1 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1751-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: solute carrier family 8 member A1
Also known as: NCX1
In cardiomyocytes, Ca(2+) concentrations alternate between high levels during contraction and low levels during relaxation. The increase in Ca(2+) concentration during contraction is mainly due to the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. However, some Ca(2+) also enters cells through the sarcolemma (plasma membrane). During relaxation, Ca(2+) is sequestered for intracellular storage. To prevent overloading of intracellular stores, calcium(2+) entering cells across the sarcolemma must be squeezed out of the cells. The Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger is the main mechanism by which Ca(2+) is extruded from the cell during relaxation. In the heart, swappers may play a key role in the action of digitalis. Exchangers are the primary mechanism by which cardiomyocytes return to their resting state after excitation.




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
