mutaFISH™ EML4wt ALKwt RNA Probes is designed to detect human EML4 and ALK gene rearrangement on single strand RNA in cells using padlock probe and in situ rolling-circle amplification technology.
Store at -20°C.Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Note:
We recommend mutaFISH™ RNA Accessory Kit (Catalog #: KA4915) which provides necessary reagents and enzymes for in situ reverse transcription, RNA digestion, mutaFISH™ hybridization, ligation and amplication prior to mutaFISH™.

Gene Summary:
The 2;5 chromosomal translocation is frequently associated with anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCLs). The translocation creates a fusion gene consisting of the ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) gene and the nucleophosmin (NPM) gene: the 3" half of ALK, derived from chromosome 2, is fused to the 5" portion of NPM from chromosome 5. A recent study shows that the product of the NPM-ALK fusion gene is oncogenic. The deduced amino acid sequences reveal that ALK is a novel receptor protein-tyrosine kinase having a putative transmembrane domain and an extracellular domain. These sequences are absent in the product of the transforming NPM-ALK gene. ALK shows the greatest sequence similarity to LTK (leukocyte tyrosine kinase). ALK plays an important role in the development of the brain and exerts its effects on specific neurons in the nervous system. [provided by RefSeq
