Product Information

Gene Information

Cat. No.	CC-785
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	LIMK2
Species	Human
Ensembl ID	ENSG00000182541
NCBIGene ID	3985
Uni Prot ID	P53671
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

LIMK2

Background

There are approximately 40 known eukaryotic LIM proteins, so named for the LIM domains they contain. LIM domains are highly conserved cysteine-rich structures containing 2 zinc fingers. Although zinc fingers usually function by binding to DNA or RNA, the LIM motif probably mediates protein-protein interactions. LIM kinase-1 and LIM kinase-2 belong to a small subfamily with a unique combination of 2 N-terminal LIM motifs and a C-terminal protein kinase domain. The protein encoded by this gene is phosphorylated and activated by ROCK, a downstream effector of Rho, and the encoded protein, in turn, phosphorylates cofilin, inhibiting its actin-depolymerizing activity. It is thought that this pathway contributes to Rho-induced reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. At least three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
