5HTT-VNTR2 FISH Probe
The 5HTT-VNTR2 FISH probe is designed to hybridize to the 5HTT-VNTR2 gene and is primarily used for detecting amplifications and deletions associated with the gene. This probe is FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood metaphase spreads and interphase nuclei. The probe can be labeled in one of five colors. Each probe is sold in a 20 test kit (approximately 20 slides - 22x22 mm area) and includes hybridization buffer. Please note that due to design optimizations, prices are subject to change.

Gene Summary
This genomic sequence represents the STin2 enhancer element in an intron of the solute carrier family 6 member 4 (SLC6A4) gene on chromosome 17. It also represents a polymorphic region consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), where each repeat unit is 16-17 bp in length. Three major alleles have been identified in human populations, STin2.9, STin2.10 and STin2.12, carrying 9, 10 and 12 copies of the repeat unit, respectively. Enhancer activity levels vary based on the allele, with each repeat unit making varying contributions to activity. This region can bind to transcription factors including CTCF and YB-1, and it may also co-operate with the 5-HTTLPR regulatory element, which is another VNTR polymorphic region located in the SLC6A4 promoter. Polymorphisms in this STin2 region may be associated with a variety of mood, behavioral and stress-related psychopathologies, possibly in a population-dependent fashion, in combination with other polymorphisms (such as the 5-HTTLPR), and/or related to epigenetic processes.
