CRISPR-U™ Gene Knockout Cell Line Strategy

GCH1 Gene Knockout Strategy

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 100 types of cell lines.
Objective
To create a Human GCH1 Knockout model in cell line by CRISPR-U™-mediated genome engineering.
Target gene info
Official symbol GCH1
Gene id 2643
Organism Homo sapiens
Official full symbol GTP cyclohydrolase 1
Gene type protein-coding
Also known as DYT14, DYT5, DYT5a, GCH, GTP-CH-1, GTPCH1, HPABH4B
Summary This gene encodes a member of the GTP cyclohydrolase family. The encoded protein is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of GTP into 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate. BH4 is an essential cofactor required by aromatic amino acid hydroxylases as well as nitric oxide synthases. Mutations in this gene are associated with malignant hyperphenylalaninemia and dopa-responsive dystonia. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described; however, not all variants give rise to a functional enzyme.
Genomic regions Chromosome 14
