Gene-specific forward and reverse RT-qPCR primers for genes associated with the dopaminergic system.

Gene Name	Tyrosine Hydroxylase (Th)	Monoamine oxidase A (Maoa)
Forward Primer 5’ – 3’	CCCAAGGGCTTCAGAAGAG	AGGTGGCTCTGGCCAAATAAGTGA
Reverse Primer 5’ – 3’	GGGCATCCTCGATGAGACT	ACCGGTGGGATGGCACTAATTACA
Accession Number	NM_009377	NM_173740
Amplicon Length (Base Pairs)	61	65
Product Melting Temperature (°C)	82.5	87.5

Primers were designed with either Roche primer database or Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) Primer Quest^SM. Oligo primers were analyzed with IDT Oligo Analyzer 3.1 for melting temperature, GC content and secondary structure.
