SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC. VPS39 shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles: sc-90114-V

BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS Vacuolar sorting (VPSs) are required for proper trafficking of endocytic VPS39 shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles is recommended for the inhibition of and biosynthetic proteins to the vacuole and play an important role in the VPS39 expression in human cells. budding process of cells. VPS39 (vacuolar sorting 39), also known as VAM6 or TLP, is an 886 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm, as SUPPORT REAGENTS well as to the lysosomal and endosomal membrane, and contains one CNH Control shRNA Lentiviral Particles: sc-108080. Available as 200 µl frozen domain. Expressed ubiquitously with highest expression in kidney, heart, lung, viral stock containing 1.0 x 106 infectious units of virus (IFU); contains an brain, placenta and skeletal muscle, VPS39 functions as a homooligomer that shRNA construct encoding a scrambled sequence that will not lead to the is thought to play a role in the clustering and fusion of endosomes and lyso- specific degradation of any known cellular mRNA. somes. Multiple isoforms of VPS39 exist due to alternative splicing events. The encoding VPS39 maps to human 15, which houses over GENE EXPRESSION MONITORING 700 and comprises nearly 3% of the . VPS39 (C-5): sc-514762 is recommended as a control antibody for monitoring REFERENCES of VPS39 gene expression knockdown by Western Blotting (starting dilution 1:200, dilution range 1:100-1:1000) or immunofluorescence (starting dilution 1.
