Abstract: This invention relates to a method for efficiently detecting double-stranded nucleic acids. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for reducing signals derived from an intercalator bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid, wherein a compound that reacts more preferentially with an intercalator bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid than with an intercalator bound to a double-stranded nucleic acid or a compound that is bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid more strongly than an intercalator and is bound to a double-stranded nucleic acid more weakly than an intercalator is added to a mixture comprising double-stranded and single-stranded nucleic acids both having intercalators bound thereto, thereby reducing signals derived from an intercalator bound to a single-stranded nucleic acid.

Abstract: A gene for a novel transmembrane protein was isolated and its nucleotide sequence was determined. A protein encoded by this gene (TRPC7) has 7 transmembrane regions, and because there is homology with TRP (transient receptor potential), this protein is considered to have calcium channel functions. Further, since a mutation in the TRPC7 gene is frequently observed in patients with manic-depressives insanity, TRPC7 is considered to be a pathogenic gene for bipolar affective disorder.
