Product Specific Information

CRISPR/Cas9 system is one powerful gene editing tool to specifically modify target genes. Cas9 nuclease is an RNA-guided endonuclease that can catalyze cleavage of double stranded DNA. The GenCrispr Cas9 Antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody with Streptococcus pyogene (S. pyogenes) Cas9 protein as the immunization antigen. This antibody is used to detect the expression level of CRISPR/Cas9 in target cells.

Target Information

Cas9 is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme associated with the CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) adaptive immunity system in bacteria and genetic engineering. The system is unique and flexible due to its dependence on RNA as the element that targets the nuclease to a desired DNA sequence. It can be used to induce indel mutations, specific sequence replacements/insertions, and large deletions or genomic rearrangements at any desired location in the genome. In addition, Cas9 can also be used to mediate upregulation of specific endogenous genes or to alter histone modifications or DNA methylation. Cas9 may be derived from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) or Staphylococcus aureus (SaCas9). SaCas9 has a number of properties that make it advantageous for genome editing, including its small size, high efficiency, nickase activity, and apparent specificity. SaCas9 principally recognizes an NNGRRT protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and cleaves target DNA at rates comparable to SpCas9 with an ideal spacer lengths of 24 to 20 nucleotides. In comparison to SpCas9, SaCas9 is smaller (1368 AA versus 1053 AA) and generates indels at a comparable rate when directed against target DNA with the mutually permissive NGGRRT PAM. This makes it the preferred enzyme for all-in-one delivery of Cas9 and multiple gRNA expression cassettes with Adeno-associated vectors.
