Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Cpe
• Locus ID: 12876
• 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: CPH; Cph-1; Cph1; fat; NF-alpha1; R74677
• Summary: This gene encodes carboxypeptidase E, a prohormone-processing exopeptidase found in secretory granules of endocrine and neuroendocrine cells. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, functional enzyme that cleaves the C-terminal basic residues of protein substrates. A missense mutation in this gene is responsible for the obesity phenotype in a mouse model known as the "fat mouse." Mice lacking the functional product of this gene exhibit impaired processing of multiple peptide hormones such as proinsulin, prodynorphin, proneurotensin, promelanin-concentrating hormone and pro-opiomelanocortin.
