Reference: J:301614 Town L, et al., Tmem26 is dynamically expressed during palate and limb development but is not required for embryonic survival. PLoS One. 2011;6(9):e25228
Assay type: RT-PCR
MGI Accession ID: MGI:6890355
Gene symbol: Tmem26
Gene name: transmembrane protein 26
Probe: Tmem26-pE, Tmem26-pF
Assay notes: This assay is a summary of data not shown from the publication. The following statement appears in the text: To examine the transcriptional products of the Tmem26<Ex2-> allele, we used RT-PCR to amplify across the introduced mutation from mRNA derived from adult liver and brain. Two forward primers were designed within exon 1 and reverse primers were designed within exon 3, 4 and 5, thus allowing 6 separate PCR reactions that amplify regions that include exon 2. All PCR products were band purified and sequenced. Two Tmem26 transcripts were amplified specifically from Tmem26<Ex2-/Ex2-> tissues. Sequencing revealed that the larger of these bands represented the expected mutant transcript lacking exon 2. The smaller band lacked both exons 2 and 3, indicating that deletion of exon 2 induced a splice variant that contains exons 1, 4, 5 and 6. Fig. 5B shows a diagram of the observed transcripts in the mutant.
