Product Information

Gene Information

Cat. No.	SHH371168
Description	The SureSilencing trade; shRNA Plasmids are designed to specifically knock down the expression of individual genes by RNA interference under either transient (with GFP) or stable transfection (for hygromycin, neomycin or puromycin-resistance) conditions after performance of the appropriate enrichment or selection procedures, respectively. Each vector contains the shRNA under control of the U1 promoter and either the GFP gene, for the enrichment of transiently transfected cells, or the neomycin or puromycin resistance genes, for the selection of stably transfected cells.
Gene Abbr	PAX6
Species	Rat
Report Gene	GFP
Storage	The SureSilencing shRNA Plasmids are shipped on dry ice or cold packs. Store all tubes at -20°C.

Target Gene

PAX6

Background

This gene encodes paired box protein Pax-6, one of many human homologs of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. In addition to a conserved paired box domain, a hallmark feature of this gene family, the encoded protein also contains a homeobox domain. Both domains are known to bind DNA and function as regulators of gene transcription. Activity of this protein is key in the development of neural tissues, particularly the eye. This gene is regulated by multiple enhancers located up to hundreds of kilobases distant from this locus. Mutations in this gene or in the enhancer regions can cause ocular disorders such as aniridia and Peter's anomaly. Use of alternate promoters and alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Interestingly, inclusion of a particular alternate coding exon has been shown to increase the length of the paired box domain and alter its DNA binding specificity. Consequently, isoforms that carry the shorter paired box domain regulate a different set of genes compared to the isoforms carrying the longer paired box domain. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2019]
