Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Arx
• Locus ID: 11878
• 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.

Reference Data

• RefSeq: NM_001305940, NM_007492
• Summary: This gene encodes a transcription factor that plays an important role in the development of forebrain. Male mice lacking this gene have smaller brains, olfactory bulbs and testes, and die within half a day after birth. Mice lacking this gene specifically in ganglionic eminence-derived neurons, including cortical interneurons, develop seizures. Mutations in this gene have been demonstrated to cause mouse phenotypes resembling human X-linked lissencephaly and cognitive disability with epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
