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 GBA Knockout
model in cell line by CRISPR-U™-mediated genome engineering.
Target gene info
Official symbol
GBA
Gene id
2629
Organism
Homo sapiens
Gene type
protein-coding
Official full symbol
glucosylceramidase beta
Also known as
GBA1, GCB, GLUC
Genomic regions
Chromosome 1
Summary
This gene encodes a lysosomal membrane protein that cleaves the beta-glucosidic linkage of glycosylceramide, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease characterized by an accumulation of glucocerebrosides. A related pseudogene is approximately 12 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
