Synaptogyrin-1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) | sc-423238 | 20 µg | $397.00 |
Syngr1 encodes synaptogyrin-1, a synaptic vesicle membrane protein enriched at presynaptic terminals that contributes to vesicle organization and efficient neurotransmitter release. It participates in core synaptic vesicle cycling processes, including vesicle trafficking, docking, and endocytosis, and functionally intersects with pathways regulating exo-endocytic coupling and presynaptic membrane dynamics. In mouse neurons, synaptogyrin-1 is used as a marker and mechanistic node for studying synaptic transmission and plasticity at excitatory and inhibitory synapses. Altered synaptic vesicle handling and presynaptic protein networks involving synaptogyrin-1 are relevant to research on neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms characterized by synaptic dysfunction.
Synaptogyrin-1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the Syngr1 gene in mouse cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the Syngr1 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 Syngr1 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 Synaptogyrin-1 protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of Syngr1-deficient cell models for investigation of Synaptogyrin-1 signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.
