Gene Information

Cat. No.	CC-590
Description	A complete kit for efficient gene knockout in mammalian cells, combining chemically synthesized sgRNAs with Cas9 RNPs to induce targeted DNA cleavage and generate frameshift mutations or deletions. All essential reagents for transfection and knockout validation are included for rapid, high-efficiency gene disruption.
Gene Abbr	GPX4
Species	Human
EnsemblID	ENSG00000167468
NCBIGeneID	2879
Uni ProtID	P36969
Features	All-in-One workflow from gene editing to knockout validation for users with no prior experience. Pre-validated sgRNAs and primers for rapid setup. Streamlined experiment handling. CRISPR RNP method ensures precise and efficient gene knockout.
Applications	This kit enables in vitro gene knockout in human-derived cells using chemically synthesized sgRNAs and Cas9-gRNA RNP complexes. Transfected RNPs cleave early exons of the target gene, inducing deletions or frameshift mutations for efficient and rapid knockout.
Reactions	5–10 reactions per target gene
Kit Components	2–3 chemically synthesized sgRNAs (200pmol each) 3 PCR/Sequencing primers (500pmol each) LM cell lysate (500µL) Cas9 protein (12µg) LM RNP transfection reagent (50µL)
Storage	Store at -80°C for up to 1 year or at -20°C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Gene

GPX4

Background

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, members of which catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxides and lipid hydroperoxides, and thereby protect cells against oxidative damage. Several isozymes of this gene family exist in vertebrates, which vary in cellular location and substrate specificity. This isozyme has a high preference for lipid hydroperoxides and protects cells against membrane lipid peroxidation and cell death. It is also required for normal sperm development; thus, it has been identified as a 'moonlighting' protein because of its ability to serve dual functions as a peroxidase, as well as a structural protein in mature spermatozoa. Mutations in this gene are associated with Sedaghatian type of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SMDS). This isozyme is also a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) at its active site. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. Transcript variants resulting from alternative splicing or use of alternate promoters have been described to encode isoforms with different subcellular localization. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2018]
