Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m): sc-419083
- Target species: mouse
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids, each encoding Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed for maximum knockout efficiency using sequences derived from the GeCKO v2 library
- gRNA sequences direct Cas9 to induce site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the Aldolase C genomic locus, resulting in gene knockout through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
- The puromycin resistance and RFP genes are flanked by LoxP sites, enabling removal of selection markers via Cre recombinase (Cre Vector: sc-418923) after establishing stable knockout cell lines
- Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: Aldolase C Antibody (H-11): sc-271593

Overview
Aldoc encodes aldolase C, a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible cleavage of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into triose phosphates, linking glucose utilization to downstream ATP production and biosynthetic flux. In mouse tissues, ALDOC is enriched in the central nervous system and contributes to metabolic compartmentalization in neurons and glia, supporting processes such as neurotransmission and redox balance. Beyond glycolysis, aldolase family members can influence cytoskeletal organization and signal transduction through protein–protein interactions that couple metabolism to cellular architecture. Altered ALDOC expression has been used as a marker of metabolic state and cellular identity in neurobiology, and dysregulation of glycolytic programs is broadly relevant to neurodegeneration, ischemic stress responses, and proliferative disease models.
Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the Aldoc gene in mouse cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the Aldoc together with the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 nuclease. The plasmids also encode GFP, allowing fluorescent identification and enrichment of successfully transfected cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
The multi-guide design increases the likelihood of generating insertions or deletions (indels) that disrupt the Aldoc open reading frame following Cas9-mediated double-strand break formation. DNA breaks introduced by the CRISPR/Cas9 system are repaired through endogenous non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways, frequently resulting in frameshift mutations that abolish Aldolase C protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of Aldoc-deficient cell models for investigation of Aldolase C signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.

Design Variants
CRISPRs +/- HDRs
- gRNAs encoded by Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) and Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m2) target distinct sites within the Aldoc locus. One or both targeting designs may be available. See Related Products for availability.
- HDR donor constructs encoded by Aldolase C HDR Plasmid (m) and Aldolase C HDR Plasmid (m2) contain a puromycin resistance cassette and an RFP reporter flanked by Aldoc homology arms to support homology-directed repair at defined Aldoc target sites corresponding to the CRISPR/Cas9 KO designs. HDR donor availability may vary. See Related Products for availability.
