Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Gabrg2
• Locus ID: 14406
• 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: GABAA-R; Gabrg-2; gamma2
• Summary: This gene encodes a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-A receptor subunit, which is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel family. GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult central nervous system, and conversely exhibits an excitatory function during development. GABA-A receptors are pentameric, consisting of proteins from several subunit classes: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and rho. This gene encodes one of three gamma subunits in mammals, which contain the binding site for benzodiazepine drugs. Several mutations in this gene are associated with epileptic seizures, and genetic knockdown is associated with anxiety behavior. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
