SYBR Green qPCR primers for detecting human MT2A (metallothionein 2A, also called MT-II) gene expression by real-time PCR. Each set comes with primer sequences and reaction conditions.
Human MT2A qPCR Primer Set – metallothionein 2A
Also known as: MT-2, MT-II, MT2
About this gene: MT2A belongs to the metallothionein family of genes. Proteins encoded by MT2A family are low in molecular weight, are cysteine-rich, lack aromatic residues, and bind divalent heavy metal ions, altering the intracellular concentration of heavy metals in the cell. These proteins act as anti-oxidants, protect against hydroxyl free radicals, are important in homeostatic control of metal in the cell, and play a role in detoxification of heavy metals.
Gene details: NCBI Gene ID: 4502; HGNC ID: HGNC:7406; UniProt: P02795; RefSeq (MANE Select): NM_005953.5; Chromosome location: 16q13
What you get: Primers are provided as a 40 µl solution containing both primers at a final concentration of 50 µM in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1 mM EDTA. Dilute with H2O as needed prior to use. This amount is sufficient for 1,000 PCR reactions of 20 µl, assuming a final primer concentration of 0.1 µM.
