PDGFA-OCA2 Fusion FISH Probe

The PDGFA-OCA2 Fusion FISH Probe is used to confirm a fusion of the PDGFA and OCA2 genes. The fusion of the PDGFA and OCA2 genes has been associated with Skin Cutaneous Melanoma. These probes are FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood in both interphase nuclei and metaphase spreads before shipment. Typical turnaround time for this product is 7-14 days after purchase.

OCA2 Gene Summary

This gene encodes the human homolog of the mouse p (pink-eyed dilution) gene. The encoded protein is believed to be an integral membrane protein involved in small molecule transport, specifically tyrosine, which is a precursor to melanin synthesis. It is involved in mammalian pigmentation, where it may control skin color variation and act as a determinant of brown or blue eye color. Mutations in this gene result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Gene Name: OCA2 Melanosomal Transmembrane Protein

Chromosome: CHR15: 28000022 -28344458

Locus: 15q12-q13.1

PDGFA Gene Summary

This gene encodes a member of the protein family comprised of both platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF). The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate platelet-derived growth factor subunit A, which can homodimerize, or alternatively, heterodimerize with the related platelet-derived growth factor subunit B. These proteins bind and activate PDGF receptor tyrosine kinases, which play a role in a wide range of developmental processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene Name: Platelet Derived Growth Factor Subunit A

Chromosome: CHR7: 536896 -559481

Locus: 7p22.3
