Analysis of TFEB Gene Rearrangement by Southern Blot Technology (CAT#: STEM-MHT-0061-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: transcription factor EB<br />Also known as: TCFEB; BHLHE35; ALPHATFEB<br />Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; enzyme binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amino acid starvation; lysosome localization; and positive regulation of autophagy. Located in cytosol; lysosomal membrane; and nucleoplasm.




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.
