KLHDC2 Double Nickase Plasmid (h): sc-411772-NIC
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- KLHDC2 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
- KLHDC2 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) and KLHDC2 Double Nickase Plasmid (h2) encode distinct paired gRNA designs targeting KLHDC2. One or both designs may be available

KLHDC2 encodes Kelch domain-containing protein 2, a substrate receptor for the Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that contributes to ubiquitin-dependent protein turnover. Through selective recognition of protein substrates, KLHDC2 helps regulate proteostasis and downstream cellular processes such as stress responses and cell-cycle-associated signaling. Altered activity of ubiquitin–proteasome pathway components can perturb signaling networks that influence proliferation and survival, making KLHDC2 a useful node for studying dysregulated protein degradation programs. KLHDC2 is therefore relevant to mechanistic research in pathways linked to oncogenic signaling, genome stability, and cellular adaptation to proteotoxic stress.
KLHDC2 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the KLHDC2 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within KLHDC2. 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 KLHDC2 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 KLHDC2-disrupted clones.
