Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Asah1
• Locus ID: 11886
• 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 encodes acid ceramidase, an enzyme that plays a central role in ceramide metabolism. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a heterodimeric enzyme comprised of alpha and beta subunits that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid. The homozygous disruption of this gene leads to embryonic lethality in mice whereas the heterozygous animals exhibit a progressive lipid storage disease phenotype. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
