Official Symbol:	SACS
NCBI Gene ID:	26278
Content / Scale:	ARSACS DNAJC29 PPP1R138 SPAX6
Official Full Name:	sacsin molecular chaperone
Species:	human
Summary:	This gene encodes the sacsin protein, which includes a UbL domain at the N-terminus, a DnaJ domain, and a HEPN domain at the C-terminus. The gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system, also found in skin, skeletal muscles and at low levels in the pancreas. This gene includes a very large exon spanning more than 12.8 kb. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheral neuropathy. The authors of a publication on the effects of siRNA-mediated sacsin knockdown concluded that sacsin protects against mutant ataxin-1 and suggest that 'the large multi-domain sacsin protein is able to recruit Hsp70 chaperone action and has the potential to regulate the effects of other ataxia proteins' (Parfitt et al., PubMed: 19208651). A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013].

 

Buy a siPOOL (siRNA Pool) for SACS

Order a complex pool of 30 siRNAs (siPOOL) for the specific gene knockdown of human gene SACS.

Product Description:

siPOOLs (siRNA pools) are high complexity pools of 30 optimally selected siRNAs designed to specifically knock-down the target gene of your choice.

Why 30 siRNAs?

Using 30 siRNAs at a picomolar concentration dilutes and significantly minimizes the off-target effects of each siRNA, therefore highly increasing the on-target specificity. On the other hand, individual siRNAs or low complexity siRNA pools containing only 2-4 siRNAs often display dominant off-target profiles and exhibit variable target gene knock-downs.

Product Formats:

• Individual siPOOLs: a pool of 30 distinct siRNAs provided as a single reagent
• siPOOL kits: include an individual siPOOL and a standard negative control

As reaction numbers depend on transfection efficiencies and well/plate format used, please refer to our FAQ section or siPOOL transfection protocol for more information.
