Gene Information

Cat. No. CC-1556
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 VIM
Species Human
EnsemblID ENSG00000026025
NCBIGeneID 7431
Uni ProtID P08670
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 VIM
Background This gene encodes a type III intermediate filament protein. Intermediate filaments, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The encoded protein is responsible for maintaining cell shape and integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. This protein is involved in neuritogenesis and cholesterol transport and functions as an organizer of a number of other critical proteins involved in cell attachment, migration, and signaling. Bacterial and viral pathogens have been shown to attach to this protein on the host cell surface. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital cataracts in human patients.
