Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for CAD(NM_004341.4) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The de novo synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides is required for mammalian cells to proliferate. This gene encodes a trifunctional protein which is associated with the enzymatic activities of the first 3 enzymes in the 6-step pathway of pyrimidine biosynthesis: carbamoylphosphate synthetase (CPS II), aspartate transcarbamoylase, and dihydroorotase. This protein is regulated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, which indicates a direct link between activation of the MAPK cascade and de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides.
Gene References into function
- the cad gene is regulated by a nonclassical ERalpha/Sp1-mediated pathway.
- Data show that PRMT5 can be found in association with hSWI/SNF complexes and is involved in regulating the expression of carbamoyl-phosphate synthase-aspartate carbamoyltransferase-dihydroorotase.
- the nuclear import of CAD appears to promote optimal cell growth
- cad gene expression is repressed by hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha, which represents a functional link between hypoxia and cell-cycle arrest.
- hCPS_DeltaA was not able to fully assume the catalytically competent conformation, with specific activity of CP formation decreased 700-fold.
