Gene

F2

ENSG00000180210
Summary
This gene encodes the prothrombin protein (also known as coagulation factor II). This protein is proteolytically cleaved in multiple steps to form the activated serine protease thrombin. The activated thrombin enzyme plays an important role in thrombosis and hemostasis by converting fibrinogen to fibrin during blood clot formation, by stimulating platelet aggregation, and by activating additional coagulation factors. Thrombin also plays a role in cell proliferation, tissue repair, and angiogenesis as well as maintaining vascular integrity during development and postnatal life. Peptides derived from the C-terminus of this protein have antimicrobial activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Mutations in this gene lead to various forms of thrombosis and dysprothrombinemia. Rapid increases in cytokine levels following coronavirus infections can dysregulate the coagulation cascade and produce thrombosis, compromised blood supply, and organ failure.

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.
