Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Pcsk5
• Locus ID: 18552
• 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: b2b585Clo; b2b1549Clo; PC5; PC6; SPC6
• Summary: This gene encodes a subtilisin-like proprotein convertase that mediates posttranslational endoproteolytic processing of various proprotein substrates traversing the secretory pathway. The encoded protein is an inactive zymogen that undergoes autoproteolytic processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi network to generate an active enzyme. Mice lacking the encoded protein die at an early embryonic stage. Conditional inactivation this gene in the epiblast but not in the extraembryonic tissue bypasses embryonic lethality but results in death at birth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
