Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Cort
• Locus ID: 12854
• 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_007745
• Synonyms: CST; PCST
• Summary: This gene encodes a member of the somatostatin family of multifunctional peptides attributed with neurohormone, neurotransmitter/modulator and autocrine/paracrine actions. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature functional peptide that can bind to somatostatin receptors. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit elevated levels of growth hormone in the plasma without major changes in somatic growth and have exacerbated nociceptive responses to neuropathic and inflammatory pain sensitization. Transgenic mice overexpressing the encoded protein in neurons do not express long-term potentiation in the dentate gyrus and exhibit deficits in synaptic plasticity and learning.
