SYBR Green qPCR primers for detecting human CALCA (calcitonin related polypeptide alpha) gene expression by real-time PCR. Each set comes with primer sequences and reaction conditions.
Human CALCA qPCR Primer Set – calcitonin related polypeptide alpha
Also known as: CALC1, CGRP, CGRP-I, CGRP-alpha, CGRP1, CT, KC, PCT
About this gene: CALCA encodes a peptide hormones calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide and katacalcin by tissue-specific alternative RNA splicing of the gene transcripts and cleavage of inactive precursor proteins. Calcitonin is involved in calcium regulation and acts to regulate phosphorus metabolism. Calcitonin gene-related peptide acts as a vasodilator and as an antimicrobial peptide while katacalcin is a calcium-lowering peptide.
Gene details: NCBI Gene ID: 796; HGNC ID: HGNC:1437; UniProt: P01258; RefSeq (MANE Select): NM_001741.3; Chromosome location: 11p15.2
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.
