Gene

LDLR

ENSG00000130164
Summary
The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. The encoded protein is normally bound at the cell membrane, where it binds low density lipoprotein/cholesterol and is taken into the cell. Lysosomes release the cholesterol, which is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal dominant disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

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.
