GOLT1B CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h): sc-410475
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- GOLT1B CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (h) 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 GOLT1B genomic locus, resulting in gene knockout through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
- GOLT1B HDR Plasmid (h) (sc-410475-HDR) is recommended for co-transfection with GOLT1B CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) to enable selection of successfully edited cells through HDR-mediated integration of a puromycin resistance cassette and RFP reporter gene
- GOLT1B HDR Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids, each containing a homology-directed repair (HDR) template corresponding to the gRNA target sites in the GOLT1B CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h)
- Each HDR plasmid contains two ~800 bp homology arms flanking the puromycin resistance and RFP cassettes, designed to bind genomic DNA sequences surrounding the Cas9-induced double-strand break site and facilitate precise HDR-mediated integration
- 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

Overview
GOLT1B (golgi transport 1B) encodes a conserved Golgi-localized membrane protein implicated in vesicular trafficking and maintenance of Golgi organization, supporting efficient cargo sorting within the early secretory pathway. By contributing to ER-to-Golgi and intra-Golgi transport dynamics, GOLT1B influences processing and delivery of membrane and secreted proteins that shape cell signaling and homeostasis. Perturbation of Golgi trafficking can secondarily affect receptor maturation, glycosylation patterns, and stress responses linked to proliferation and survival programs. As a result, GOLT1B is of interest for mechanistic studies connecting secretory pathway integrity with cellular phenotypes relevant to cancer biology and other disorders associated with altered membrane trafficking.
GOLT1B CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the GOLT1B gene in human cell lines. Each plasmid in the pool co-expresses a unique sgRNA, targeting a distinct site within the GOLT1B locus, alongside the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 nuclease, and encodes GFP to enable fluorescent identification and enrichment of successfully transfected cells. This multi-guide strategy increases the likelihood of inducing frameshifts or deletions that produce a functional knockout, offering a more robust alternative to single-guide approaches. DSBs induced at multiple sites are resolved through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or, when used with the included HDR donor template, homology-directed repair (HDR) at a defined target site within the locus.
When used in conjunction with the RFP-expressing HDR donor, GFP and RFP fluorescence can be used together to distinguish transfected from edited cell populations, streamlining flow cytometry-based sorting and clone selection workflows.
Homology-Directed Repair (HDR) Donor — Puromycin Cassette with RFP Reporter
For applications requiring confirmed, selectable knockout clones, GOLT1B HDR Plasmid (h) includes an HDR donor construct containing a puromycin resistance cassette (PuroR) and a red fluorescent protein (RFP) reporter, flanked by homology arms specific to a defined GOLT1B target site.
When co-transfected with GOLT1B CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h):
- The PuroR-RFP cassette integrates at the Cas9 cut site via HDR, disrupting the GOLT1B open reading frame.
- RFP fluorescence provides an immediate visual indicator of successful integration, enabling fluorescence-based identification or sorting of edited cells prior to or alongside puromycin selection.
- Successfully edited cells are confirmed through puromycin resistance, substantially reducing clone screening burden.
- This selection strategy is ideal for generating stable, clonal KO cell lines for downstream functional studies, drug screening, or model development.
Cre-lox Cassette Removal System
The HDR donor construct features loxP sites flanking the PuroR-RFP selection cassette to allow clean marker removal following clone confirmation. Transient expression of Cre recombinase via the included Cre Vector: sc-418923 excises the cassette, leaving a minimal residual loxP site within the GOLT1B locus and eliminating potential confounding effects on downstream assays.
This two-step approach:
- Minimizes disruption to local chromatin architecture and neighboring regulatory elements
- Restores a near-native genomic context at the edited locus
- Enables reuse of the puromycin selection strategy in the same cell line for additional edits
