Primers are provided as a 40 µl solution containing both primers at a final concentration of 50 µM in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1 mM EDTA. Dilute with water as needed prior to use. This amount is sufficient for 1000 x 20µl PCR reactions assuming a final primer concentration of 0.1 µM. Add cDNA template....

Serpin A8 is a secreted, 52-62kD glycoprotein member of the clade F-subfamily, serpin superfamily of protease inhibitors. It is expressed by neurons and hepatocytes, and undergoes extracellular cleavage by renin to create a ten aa peptide termed Ang/angiotensin I. This inactive peptide is further cleaved by ACE on...
