If you are new to molecular biology and dont know how to design primers, better to use already published primers. There are several primers for your target which have been published for the rat model. And They should be working for the human host as well. You can easily check it on primer-blast.
That is correct, but also in NCBI- Pick primers is linked to Primer 3 software. Means you do not have to cut and paste sequences, you just click Pick primers, sequences are transferred automatically from NCBI to Primer 3 software,
