Specifications

Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Cldn2
• Locus ID: 12738
• 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_016675
• Synonyms: AL022813
• Summary: This gene encodes a member of the claudin family. Claudins are integral membrane proteins and components of tight junction strands. Tight junction strands serve as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space between epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, and also play critical roles in maintaining cell polarity and signal transductions. The knockout mice lacking this gene display normal appearance, activity, growth and behavior, but are defective in the leaky and cation-selective paracellular permeability properties of renal proximal tubules. The proteins encoded by this gene and another family member Cldn12 are also critical for vitamin D-dependent Ca2+ absorption between enterocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
