SYBR Green qPCR primers for detecting human AGRP (agouti related neuropeptide) gene expression by real-time PCR. Each set comes with primer sequences and reaction conditions.
Human AGRP qPCR Primer Set – agouti related neuropeptide
Also known as: AGRT, ART, ASIP2
About this gene: AGRP encodes a antagonist of the melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptor. The AGRP gene product appears to regulate hypothalamic control of feeding behavior via melanocortin receptor and/or intracellular calcium regulation, and thus is involved in weight homeostasis. Mutations in AGRP have been linked to late on-set obesity.
Gene details: NCBI Gene ID: 181; HGNC ID: HGNC:330; UniProt: O00253; RefSeq (MANE Select): NM_001138.2; Chromosome location: 16q22.1
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.
