CRISPR-U™ technology (CRISPR based), developed by Ubigene, is more efficient than general
CRISPR/Cas9 technology in double-strand breaking and homologous recombination. With CRISPR-U™, Ubigene has
successfully edited over 3000 genes on more than 200 types of cell lines.
Objective
To create a Human CYP51A1 Knockout
model in cell line by CRISPR-U™-mediated genome engineering.
Target gene info
Official symbol
CYP51A1
Gene id
1595
Organism
Homo sapiens
Gene type
protein-coding
Official full symbol
cytochrome P450 family 51 subfamily A member 1
Also known as
CP51, CYP51, CYPL1, LDM, P450-14DM, P450L1
Genomic regions
Chromosome 7
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein participates in the synthesis of cholesterol by catalyzing the removal of the 14alpha-methyl group from lanosterol. Homologous genes are found in all three eukaryotic phyla, fungi, plants, and animals, suggesting that this is one of the oldest cytochrome P450 genes. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
