Analysis of NGF Gene (Mutation) in Congenital Sensory Neuropathy With Selective Loss of Small Myelinated Fibers by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0130-LGZ)

Name: Analysis of NGF Gene (Mutation) in Congenital Sensory Neuropathy With Selective Loss of Small Myelinated Fibers by RT-qPCR
SKU: STEM-MT-0130-LGZ
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Introduction

Also known as: NGFB; HSAN5; Beta-NGF
This gene is a member of the NGF-beta family and encodes a secreted protein which homodimerizes and is incorporated into a larger complex. This protein has nerve growth stimulating activity and the complex is involved in the regulation of growth and the differentiation of sympathetic and certain sensory neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, type 5 (HSAN5), and dysregulation of this gene's expression is associated with allergic rhinitis.

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

Congenital sensory neuropathy with selective loss of small myelinated fibers

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.
