Specifications

Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Cartpt
• Locus ID: 27220
• 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: Cart
• Summary: This gene encodes preproprotein isoforms that are processed into multiple biologically active peptides. Expression of this gene is regulated by cocaine and other drugs, and is associated with feeding/appetite and stress response. Mice lacking the encoded protein are predisposed to obesity. Deficiency of the encoded protein in mice results in pancreatic islet dysfunction, impaired insulin secretion and glucose intolerance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms, which are subsequently processed into mature peptides. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
