Let's Put the Hypothesis Back into Research
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. For use with our real-time qPCR system, OpenArray NT Cycler, you can perform the analyses in-house or use one of our service laboratories. With either option, you will be able to significantly increase the number of samples analyzed while decreasing the time and cost required.

Human Panels
ADME [part #10554]
Toxicology, drug metabolism and drug transport are processes covered by this panel. Genes for Phase I and Phase II metabolizing enzymes are well represented, as are the genes encoding ABC and SLC transporters.

Apoptosis [part #10562]
Genes involved in apoptosis have been linked to major disease processes, such as CVD, oncogenesis and inflammation. This panel has genes from the BCL, caspase and TNF families as well as p53 and other genes encoding DNA damage proteins.

Cancer [part #10570]
The cancer panel covers DNA repair, angiogenesis, cell adhesion and ECM. In addition, it includes apoptosis, cell cycle and many of the genes encoding kinases and transcription factors that have been found to be differentially expressed in early cancer and metastatic disease.

Cardiovascular Disease [part #10578]
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 [part #10663]
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 [part #10671]
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 [part #10172]
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’s functionality, including RNA and DNA binding proteins.

Inflammation [part #10586]
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.

Kinome [part #10171]
The human kinome panel was developed to analyze the expression of kinase genes as well as genes that express proteins that are part of kinase complexes, bind kinases or whose annotation as kinases have not yet been fully validated. This panel includes 801 kinase and kinase-related genes.

Signal Transduction [part #10594]
This wide-ranging panel covers the major signaling pathways including JAK-STAT, NFkB, Akt, GPCR, cAMP and MAP kinase. The complete pathway is covered from ligand to receptor to kinase to transcription factor.

Transcription Factors [part #10679]
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.
