Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: B4galt1
• Locus ID: 14595
• 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 two distinct enzyme isoforms, a long membrane-bound form and a short soluble form. These alternate isoforms are thought to be produced through alternative nested transcription initiation and different in-frame start codon usage. These enzymes catalyze the transfer of galactose to acceptor sugars, such as N-acetylglucosamine and glucose. The long form of this enzyme is localized to the trans-Golgi membrane and is involved in glycoconjugate biosynthesis. The short form functions in lactose biosynthesis though formation of a heterodimer with alpha-lactalbumin. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
