neuropilin-2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m): sc-421965
- Target species: mouse
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- neuropilin-2 CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids, each encoding Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed for maximum knockout efficiency using sequences derived from the GeCKO v2 library
- gRNA sequences direct Cas9 to induce site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the neuropilin-2 genomic locus, resulting in gene knockout through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
- The puromycin resistance and RFP genes are flanked by LoxP sites, enabling removal of selection markers via Cre recombinase (Cre Vector: sc-418923) after establishing stable knockout cell lines
- Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: neuropilin-2 Antibody (C-9): sc-13117

Overview
Mouse Nrp2 encodes neuropilin-2, a multifunctional co-receptor that modulates class 3 semaphorin and VEGF family signaling to regulate axon guidance, endothelial and lymphatic patterning, and immune cell trafficking. Neuropilin-2 participates in processes such as directed cell migration, cytoskeletal remodeling, and receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, influencing pathways linked to angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. In diverse tissue contexts, altered Nrp2 activity is associated with changes in neurodevelopmental wiring, vascular permeability, and inflammatory cell recruitment. These functions make Nrp2 a widely used node for interrogating microenvironment-dependent signaling and cell–cell communication in mouse models.
neuropilin-2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the Nrp2 gene in mouse cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the Nrp2 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 Nrp2 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 neuropilin-2 protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of Nrp2-deficient cell models for investigation of neuropilin-2 signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.

Design Variants
CRISPRs +/- HDRs
- gRNAs encoded by neuropilin-2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) and neuropilin-2 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m2) target distinct sites within the Nrp2 locus. One or both targeting designs may be available. See Related Products for availability.
- HDR donor constructs encoded by neuropilin-2 HDR Plasmid (m) and neuropilin-2 HDR Plasmid (m2) contain a puromycin resistance cassette and an RFP reporter flanked by Nrp2 homology arms to support homology-directed repair at defined Nrp2 target sites corresponding to the CRISPR/Cas9 KO designs. HDR donor availability may vary. See Related Products for availability.
