OpenArray® Pathways are ready-to-use gene panels containing bench-validated real-time qPCR assays. An alternative to custom-designed assays, the Pathways panels offer researchers a comprehensive and complete set of gene families to aid the study of cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disease and basic cellular systems.
Each plate in the Pathways product family contains 600+ laboratory tested assays. You will be able to significantly increase the number of samples analyzed while decreasing the time and cost required.

Cardiovascular Disease
The disparate pathways that lead to cardiovascular disease are represented in this diverse panel of genes, from ECM, hypoxia, NO and oxidative stress pathways to genes involved in lipid metabolism, platelet activation and apoptosis. This CVD panel is comprehensive with assays for genes involved in blood pressure regulation and atherosclerosis along with genes encoding key ion channel components.

Drug Targets
This panel contains assays for genes that are common drug targets. Using these assays to identify and follow surrogate markers, pharmaceutical researchers can test drug MOA, off-target effects and compound efficacy. The Drug Targets panel erases some of the rate-limiting steps in conventional high-throughput drug screening.

GPCRs
The G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) panel includes bench-validated assays for genes involved in such diverse processes as sensory input, behavior, immune system regulation and autonomic nervous system transmission. Signal transduction, drug development, immune system and brain researchers will find this panel indispensable in their research.

Human Housekeeping
The human housekeeping panel was developed as a control for gene expression analysis studies to compare the expression of unknown genes to the expression of standard housekeeping genes. This set of 18 housekeeping genes are expressed constitutively in most cells because they encode proteins that are necessary for the cell\u2019s functionality, including RNA and DNA binding proteins.

Inflammation
This panel encompasses genes involved in the key pathways of inflammation response, including major chronic autoimmune diseases and acute immune response. Some of the key gene families on this panel are cytokines, including interleukins, chemokines and their receptors also BMP and TNF families, Toll and STAT pathway members and genes encoding B- and T-cell activation proteins.

Transcription Factors
Regulatory pathways are highly complex, with multiple transcription factors affecting the expression of multiple genes. The Transcription Factors panel contains bench-validated assays for genes in the Wnt pathway, immune cell signaling pathways, MAPK pathway, NFkB and PDGF pathways, to name a few. This panel allows researchers to very easily answer hypotheses concerning gene regulation and pathway associations.
