Gene

CACNA1C

ENSG00000151067
Summary
This gene encodes an alpha-1 subunit of a voltage-dependent calcium channel. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization. The alpha-1 subunit consists of 24 transmembrane segments and forms the pore through which ions pass into the cell. The calcium channel consists of a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. There are multiple isoforms of each of these proteins, either encoded by different genes or the result of alternative splicing of transcripts. The protein encoded by this gene binds to and is inhibited by dihydropyridine. Alternative splicing results in many transcript variants encoding different proteins. Some of the predicted proteins may not produce functional ion channel subunits. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]

Gene Knockout Kits Provide Superior Editing Efficiency in iPSC, Immortalized, and Primary Cells and Consistent Protein Depletion Using the XDel Design

Figure 1. A) On-target editing efficiency of XDel multiple guide design (MGKO) (pink bars) vs their 3 respective single-guide RNAs (blue bars) across 7 endogenous target loci transfected in two immortalized (IMM) and two iPSC cell lines. Each transfection was performed in triplicate and data were analyzed via NGS by EditCo’s proprietary software analysis. B) Western blot analyses for all 5 knockout target genes indicate a complete depletion of proteins across the 3 specified time points (days 7, 14, and 21) relative to the negative controls. Knockout cell pools for the target genes were generated by nucleofecting U2OS cells with multi-guide sgRNA and Cas9 (as RNPs). A negative control pool was also transfected for each target using non-targeting sgRNA.
