OATP-F CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) | sc-405736 | 20 µg | $397.00 |
SLCO1C1 encodes the human organic anion transporting polypeptide OATP-F (OATP1C1), a plasma membrane solute carrier that mediates sodium-independent uptake of thyroid hormones and related iodothyronines, with high affinity for thyroxine (T4) and reverse triiodothyronine (rT3). This transporter is prominently implicated in controlling hormone availability at tissue barriers, including the blood–brain barrier, thereby influencing local thyroid hormone homeostasis and downstream transcriptional programs regulated by thyroid hormone receptors. By shaping intracellular iodothyronine flux, OATP-F intersects with endocrine signaling, metabolic regulation, and xenobiotic handling pathways that depend on controlled transporter-mediated substrate access. Altered transporter activity or expression is relevant to research on neuroendocrine regulation and disorders linked to disrupted thyroid hormone distribution and signaling.
OATP-F CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the SLCO1C1 gene in human cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the SLCO1C1 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 SLCO1C1 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 OATP-F protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of SLCO1C1-deficient cell models for investigation of OATP-F signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.
