Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Col4a1
• Locus ID: 12826
• 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 the alpha-1 subunit of the type IV collagens, an essential component of basement membranes. The encoded protein forms a triple helical heterotrimer comprised of two alpha-1 and one alpha-2 subunits that assembles into a type IV collagen network. This gene is located adjacent to the gene encoding alpha-2 subunit. Mice lacking both the alpha-1 and alpha-2 subunits of collagen IV die in utero due to structural deficiencies in the basement membranes and certain mutations in this gene cause perinatal cerebral hemorrhage and porencephaly. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
