TNFα-IP 2 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) | sc-401685-NIC | 20 µg | $410.00 |
TNFAIP2 encodes TNFα-induced protein 2 (TNFα-IP 2), an inflammation-responsive factor upregulated downstream of TNF receptor signaling and NF-κB activation. TNFα-IP 2 has been linked to remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, regulation of cell adhesion and motility, and coordination of vesicle trafficking and membrane dynamics in immune and stromal contexts. Through these processes, TNFAIP2 contributes to cellular responses to pro-inflammatory cues and can influence tissue remodeling and interactions within the microenvironment. Altered TNFAIP2 expression has been reported in inflammatory settings and multiple cancer-associated phenotypes, supporting its use as a research target for studying cytokine-driven transcriptional programs and invasion-related pathways.
TNFα-IP 2 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the TNFAIP2 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within TNFAIP2. 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 TNFAIP2 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 TNFAIP2-disrupted clones.
