Biochem/physiol Actions

The microRNA hsa-miR-506 is involved in modulating cell differentiation, migration and proliferation. It has anti-oncogenic properties. miR-506 is localized on human chromosome Xq27.3. It inhibits epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cancer cells. miR-506 targets Pim-3 proto-oncogene (PIM3) and suppresses cell proliferation in pancreatic cancer.

Features and Benefits

Proprietary design features of assay primers allow for specificity towards mature microRNAs vs. precursor-microRNAs Extensive design and testing of oligo-dT adapter primer to incorporate complementary Universal PCR Primer sequence No self-complementarity or primer dimer artifacts with the Universal PCR Primer Optimized primer Tm designed to match the Universal PCR Primer Universal cycling conditions ensures robust amplification for all assays in profiling experiments Optimized PCR product Tm (75-78° C)

General description

The MystiCq^® microRNA qPCR Assay Primer is an integral part of the MystiCq microRNA qPCR Assay System. It has been designed to target specific microRNAs with the MystiCq Universal PCR primer and the MystiCq^® microRNA SYBR^® Green qPCR ReadyMix^™ on cDNA templates generated by the MystiCq microRNA cDNA Synthesis Mix kit.
