Identification of KCNQ genes in guinea pig bladder cells. RT-PCR analysis of KCNQ1-5 gene family members in RNA extracted from dispersed guinea pig detrusor cells. Guinea pig heart and brain tissues were used as positive controls. ‘+RT’ and ‘−RT’ represent the inclusion or omission of reverse transcriptase respectively in the reverse transcription of mRNA to cDNA process. Bands corresponding to KCNQ1-5, as indicated by the base pair table, were detected in guinea pig detrusor cells.
