LAP2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m): sc-423428
- Target species: mouse
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- LAP2 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 LAP2 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

Overview
Tmpo encodes lamina-associated polypeptide 2 (LAP2), an inner nuclear membrane protein that binds lamins and chromatin to support nuclear envelope architecture and genome organization in mouse cells. LAP2 isoforms contribute to nuclear assembly after mitosis, regulation of chromatin tethering, and coordination of DNA replication and transcriptional programs linked to cell-cycle progression. Through interactions with the nuclear lamina and barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), LAP2 helps regulate mechanotransduction, nuclear stability, and spatial control of gene expression. Dysregulation of nuclear envelope components and lamina-associated pathways is broadly relevant to models of laminopathies, genome instability, and altered differentiation states in developmental and disease-associated contexts.
LAP2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the Tmpo gene in mouse cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the Tmpo 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 Tmpo 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 LAP2 protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of Tmpo-deficient cell models for investigation of LAP2 signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.

Design Variants
CRISPRs +/- HDRs
- gRNAs encoded by LAP2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) and LAP2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m2) target distinct sites within the Tmpo locus. One or both targeting designs may be available. See Related Products for availability.
- HDR donor constructs encoded by LAP2 HDR Plasmid (m) and LAP2 HDR Plasmid (m2) contain a puromycin resistance cassette and an RFP reporter flanked by Tmpo homology arms to support homology-directed repair at defined Tmpo target sites corresponding to the CRISPR/Cas9 KO designs. HDR donor availability may vary. See Related Products for availability.
