SYBR Green qPCR primers for detecting human BCO1 (beta-carotene oxygenase 1) gene expression by real-time PCR. Each set comes with primer sequences and reaction conditions.
Human BCO1 qPCR Primer Set – beta-carotene oxygenase 1
Also known as: BCDO, BCDO1, BCMO, BCMO1, BCO
About this gene: Vitamin A metabolism is important for vital processes such as vision, embryonic development, cell differentiation, and membrane and skin protection. The BCO1 protein is a key enzyme in beta-carotene metabolism to vitamin A. It catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of beta,beta-carotene into two retinal molecules.
Gene details: NCBI Gene ID: 53630; HGNC ID: HGNC:13815; UniProt: Q9HAY6; RefSeq (MANE Select): NM_017429.3; Chromosome location: 16q23.2
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.
