TMEM92 Double Nickase Plasmid (h): sc-407271-NIC
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- TMEM92 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a pair of plasmids each encoding a D10A mutated Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed to knockout gene expression with greater specificity than its CRISPR/Cas9 KO counterpart
- Paired gRNA sequences are offset by approximately 20 bp to allow for specific Cas9-mediated double nicking of the genomic DNA, which mimics a DSB
- One plasmid in the pair contains a puromycin-resistance gene for selection; the other plasmid in the pair contains a GFP marker to visually confirm transfection
- TMEM92 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) and TMEM92 Double Nickase Plasmid (h2) encode distinct paired gRNA designs targeting TMEM92. One or both designs may be available

TMEM92 encodes a predicted multi-pass transmembrane protein with limited functional annotation, thought to localize to cellular membranes where it may contribute to membrane organization, trafficking, or signal transduction. Like other TMEM family members, TMEM92 is of interest for dissecting how membrane-embedded proteins shape organelle communication and cellular homeostasis. Transcript-level alterations of poorly characterized transmembrane genes are frequently observed across disease datasets, including cancer and immune-related conditions, motivating mechanistic studies of TMEM92 in relevant cell models. Functional interrogation of TMEM92 can help clarify its roles in cell growth, stress responses, and pathway crosstalk that depend on membrane-localized protein networks.
TMEM92 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the TMEM92 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within TMEM92. When directed to adjacent sites on opposite DNA strands, the two nickases generate offset single-strand nicks that together produce a staggered double-strand break, requiring coordinated on-target activity from both guides. The resulting DNA break is resolved by endogenous cellular repair pathways, most commonly through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), leading to insertions or deletions that disrupt TMEM92 function. By requiring dual sgRNA engagement at the target locus, the double nicking approach enhances editing specificity and provides a complementary CRISPR strategy for applications where additional control over targeting precision is desired.
To support efficient identification of edited cells, one plasmid encodes GFP for fluorescent visualization of transfected populations, while the companion plasmid carries a puromycin resistance gene for antibiotic selection. Together, these features support efficient enrichment of co-transfected populations and simplify the validation of TMEM92-disrupted clones.
