FLJ23356 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) | sc-406964 | 20 µg | $397.00 |
POMK (protein O-mannose kinase), also referenced as FLJ23356, encodes a Golgi-localized kinase required for phosphorylation of O-mannose on α-dystroglycan, a key step in glycan maturation that supports extracellular matrix binding. This activity functions within the O-mannosylation and dystroglycanopathy-related glycosylation network, intersecting with pathways governing basement membrane organization, cell adhesion, and muscle–brain tissue integrity. Disruption of POMK-dependent glycosylation impairs α-dystroglycan ligand interactions and perturbs membrane-associated signaling complexes. Genetic defects in POMK are associated with dystroglycanopathies and congenital muscular dystrophy phenotypes, making it a useful locus for modeling glycosylation-linked disease mechanisms.
FLJ23356 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the POMK gene in human cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the POMK 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 POMK 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 FLJ23356 protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of POMK-deficient cell models for investigation of FLJ23356 signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.
