Description

The Human Diabetes RT2 Profiler PCR Array profiles the expression of 84 genes related to the onset, development, and progression of diabetes. They include genes that contribute to obesity, insulin resistance, the early onset of diabetes, and complications from diabetes mellitus. These genes are grouped into six functional categories: receptors, transporters & channels; nuclear receptors; metabolic enzymes; secreted factors; signal transduction proteins; and transcription factors. Many of the genes included have a tissue-specific or tissue-biased expression pattern which can also be affected by different pathophysiological states. This array can be used to study models of obesity and diabetes, to screen for therapeutics and their targets, and to profile the effect of various epidemiological and environmental factors on gene expression in various tissues or cell lines. Using real-time PCR, you can easil
