Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h): sc-400988
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (h) 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 Aldolase C 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: Aldolase C Antibody (H-11): sc-271593

Overview
ALDOC encodes aldolase C, a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase isozyme that catalyzes a key reversible step in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, converting fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. In human tissues, ALDOC is enriched in the central nervous system and contributes to neuronal energy metabolism, coupling glycolytic flux to redox balance and biosynthetic demands. Beyond its metabolic role, aldolase C has been linked to regulation of cytoskeletal organization and cellular stress responses through metabolite-sensitive signaling networks. Altered ALDOC expression or activity is frequently studied in the context of neurologic vulnerability and metabolic reprogramming observed across diverse disease states, providing a mechanistic entry point for pathway interrogation in cell and tissue models.
Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the ALDOC gene in human cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the ALDOC 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 ALDOC 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 Aldolase C protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of ALDOC-deficient cell models for investigation of Aldolase C signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.

Design Variants
CRISPRs +/- HDRs
- gRNAs encoded by Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) and Aldolase C CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h2) target distinct sites within the ALDOC locus. One or both targeting designs may be available. See Related Products for availability.
- HDR donor constructs encoded by Aldolase C HDR Plasmid (h) and Aldolase C HDR Plasmid (h2) contain a puromycin resistance cassette and an RFP reporter flanked by ALDOC homology arms to support homology-directed repair at defined ALDOC target sites corresponding to the CRISPR/Cas9 KO designs. HDR donor availability may vary. See Related Products for availability.
