Product Data

• Format: 2 gRNA vectors, 1 linear donor
• Donor DNA: EF1a-GFP-P2A-Puro
• Symbol: Stk11
• Locus ID: 20869
• 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.

• Summary: This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine kinase family. The encoded protein, a known tumor suppressor, activates (via phosphorylation) adenine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and AMPK-related kinase proteins. This upstream regulation of the AMPK pathway is thought to regulate a number of different processes, including cell metabolism, cell polarity, apoptosis and DNA damage response. Mutations in a similar gene in human have been associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, including the S isoform which plays a potential role in spermiogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
