Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Bmp8a
• Locus ID: 12163
• 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

• Synonyms: Bmp7r1; OP-2; OP2
• Summary: This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein may play a role in development of the reproductive system. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit degeneration of germ cells and the epididymal epithelium. This gene may have arose from a gene duplication event and its gene duplicate is also present on chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
