Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Alox8
• Locus ID: 11688
• Disclaimer: The kit is designed based on the best knowledge of CRISPR technology. The system has been functionally validated for knocking-in the cassette downstream the native promoter. The efficiency of the knock-out varies due to the nature of the biology and the complexity of the experimental process.

• Summary: This gene belongs to the lipoxygenase (LOX) gene family whose members encode enzymes that catalyze the addition of molecular oxygen to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to yield fatty acid hydroperoxides. The encoded enzyme preferentially metabolizes arachidonic acid to yield 8-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (8-HETE), while metabolizing linoleic acid less efficiently. The gene may also function as a tumor suppressor. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes that spans approximately 75 kilobases on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
