ScienCell's GeneQuery™ Human Cyclins and Cyclin-dependent Kinases qPCR Array Kit (GQH-CCN) is designed to facilitate gene expression profiling of 40 selected cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). CDKs are a family of small enzymes required for cell cycle progression and cell division, by means of phosphorylation of their substrates. CDKs must bind to cyclins to become fully activated. Cyclin/CDK complexes regulate cell cycle checkpoints and are the driving force of cell cycle progression. Brief examples of how included genes may be grouped are shown below:
- Cyclins: - CCNA, CCNB, CCNC, CCND, CCNE, CCNF, CCNG, CCNH, CCNI, CCNK, CCNL, CCNO, CCNT, CCNY
- CDKs: - CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK5, CDK6, CDK7, CDK8, CDK10, CDK20
GeneQuery™ qPCR array kits are qPCR ready in a 96-well plate format, with each well containing one primer set that can specifically recognize and efficiently amplify a target gene's cDNA. The carefully designed primers ensure that: (i) the optimal annealing temperature in qPCR analysis is 65°C (with 2 mM Mg^2+ , and no DMSO); (ii) the primer set recognizes all known transcript variants of target gene, unless otherwise indicated; and (iii) only one gene is amplified. Each primer set has been validated by qPCR with melt curve analysis, and gel electrophoresis.
This kit is designed to facilitate gene expression profiling of 40 selected cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).
