Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Cntnap1
• Locus ID: 53321
• 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_016782
• Synonyms: AI841080; Caspr; NCP1; Nrxn4; p190; shm
• Summary: Seems to play a role in the formation of functional distinct domains critical for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses in myelinated nerve fibers. Seems to demarcate the paranodal region of the axo-glial junction. In association with contactin may have a role in the signaling between axons and myelinating glial cells. Mice that lack CNTAP1 exhibit tremor, ataxia, and significant motor paresis. Normal paranodal junctions fail to form, and the organization of the paranodal loops is disrupted. Contactin is undetectable in the paranodes, and potassium channels are displaced from the juxtaparanodal into the paranodal domains. Also results in a severe decrease in peripheral nerve conduction velocity. [UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
