ScienCell's GeneQuery™ Human Diabetes, Type II (Late-onset, Insulin Resistance) qPCR Array Kit (GQH-DB2) is designed to facilitate gene expression profiling of 88 key genes involved in the development and progression of late-onset diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels resulting from a failure to utilize insulin properly. Brief examples of how included genes may be grouped according to function are shown below:
- Blood glucose regulation: - INS, INSR, SLC2A2, SLC30A8, ABCC8
- Fat regulation: - ADIPOQ, LPL, PON1, LEP, RETN
- Cholesterol regulation: - APOA1, APOB, LPA, CETP
- Metabolism: - UCP2, GCG, PCK2, GYS1
GeneQuery™ qPCR array kits are qPCR ready in a 96-well plate format, with each well containing one primer set that recognizes and efficiently amplifies a specific 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 the target gene, unless otherwise noted; 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 88 key genes involved in the development and progression of late-onset diabetes mellitus.
