Analysis of TAFA3 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1142-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: TAFA chemokine like family member 3<br />Also known as: TAFA-3; FAM19A3<br />This gene is a member of the TAFA family, which consists of five highly homologous genes encoding small secreted proteins. These proteins contain conserved cysteine residues at fixed positions and are distantly related to MIP-1alpha, a member of the cc chemokine family. TAFA proteins are predominantly expressed in specific regions of the brain and are postulated to be brain-specific chemokines or neurokines, acting as regulators of immunity and neuronal cells. Alternative splicing transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
