CPT1-C CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h): sc-402510-ACT
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- CPT1-C CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcription activation system designed to specifically upregulate gene expression
- CPT1-C CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) consists of three plasmids at a 1:1:1 mass ratio: a plasmid encoding the deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) nuclease (D10A and N863A) fused to the transactivation domain VP64, and a blasticidin resistance gene; a plasmid encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein, and a hygromycin resistance gene; a plasmid encoding a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers, and a puromycin resistance gene
- The resulting SAM complex binds to a site-specific region approximately 200-250 nt upstream of the transcriptional start site and provides robust recruitment of transcription factors for highly efficient gene activation
- gRNAs encoded by CPT1-C CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) and CPT1-C CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h2) target distinct regulatory regions upstream of the CPT1C transcriptional start site. One or both designs may be available
- Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: CPT1-C Antibody (B-1): sc-514555

Human CPT1C encodes carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1-C), an atypical CPT1 family member enriched in the nervous system that links lipid metabolism to cellular energy and redox homeostasis. Unlike mitochondrial CPT1A/B that directly drive long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation, CPT1-C is thought to act as a metabolic sensor influencing lipid handling, ER stress responses, and AMPK- and mTOR-associated signaling that couple nutrient status to neuronal function. CPT1C activity has been connected to regulation of membrane lipid composition and adaptive responses to energetic stress, processes central to synaptic maintenance and neuronal survival. Altered CPT1C expression has been reported in contexts of neurodegeneration, metabolic stress, and tumor cell metabolic rewiring, making it relevant for mechanistic studies of lipid-dependent signaling programs.
CPT1-C CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) provides a targeted, non-destructive approach to upregulating endogenous CPT1C expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
CPT1-C CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a three-plasmid synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system engineered for highly efficient, site-specific transcriptional upregulation of the CPT1C locus in human cell lines. The system is built around a catalytically inactive Cas9 (dCas9) carrying two inactivating mutations (D10A and N863A) that eliminate nuclease activity while preserving DNA binding. This dCas9 is fused to VP64, a potent transcriptional activator, and is co-expressed with a blasticidin resistance gene for selection. The second plasmid encodes the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein, a secondary activator complex that works in concert with dCas9-VP64, alongside a hygromycin resistance gene. The third plasmid encodes a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers that recruit the MS2-p65-HSF1 complex to the activation site, accompanied by a puromycin resistance gene. The three plasmids are delivered at a 1:1:1 mass ratio for balanced expression of all system components.
Once assembled at the target locus, the SAM complex binds within approximately 200 bp upstream of the CPT1C transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act in concert to recruit transcriptional machinery and drive upregulation of endogenous CPT1-C expression. Unlike nuclease-active Cas9, dCas9 does not introduce double-strand breaks or modify the genomic sequence, preserving the native CPT1C locus and enabling the study of CPT1-C-dependent transcriptional responses at the endogenous locus, making it a valuable tool for functional studies, target gene identification, and the modeling of CPT1-C pathway restoration in tumor cells with silenced or reduced CPT1C expression.
