Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Kifap3
• Locus ID: 16579
• 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_001305643, NM_010629
• Synonyms: KAP-3; KAP3; SMAP
• Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is the non-motor subunit of kinesin-2 complex, and forms a heterotrimer with two members of the kinesin superfamily of proteins that together form a microtubule plus-end directed translocator that plays an important role in intracellular transport, mitosis, and cell-cell adhesion. This protein contains multiple armadillo repeats involved in protein binding, and may serve as an adaptor to regulate binding of cargo with the motor proteins. Conditional disruption of this gene in mouse neural precursor cells caused a tumor-like phenotype and defective organization of the neuroepithelium thought to be the result of altered N-cadherin subcellular localization. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]
