Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Dmpk
• Locus ID: 13400
• 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.

• Synonyms: DM; Dm15; DMK; MDPK; MT-PK
• Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase that contains coiled-coil and C-terminal membrane association domains. In the embryonic mouse, it is found in cardiac and skeletal myocytes where it appears to play a role in myogenesis. In adults, the transcript is localized to several tissues including brain, heart, and skeletal and smooth muscle, and a function in cytoskeletal remodeling has been described. Transcripts with expanded CUG repeats in the 3' untranslated region mediate alternative splicing of several genes and sequester RNA binding proteins and RNA transcripts that contain CAG repeats, resulting in myotonic dystrophy, an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple protein coding and non-coding transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
