Light Switch Reagent PA-Cre with Magnet System
It is possible to control the function of genes in a time- and space-specific manner using light stimulation.
In the field of life sciences, there is a demand for optical manipulation techniques that achieve high temporal and spatial resolution and allow for precise control that is difficult to achieve with drug administration, as a means of functional analysis of genes and the creation of disease models. This product is a light-inducible Cre recombinase (Photoactivatable Cre; PA-Cre) that combines Cre recombinase with the light-switchable protein Magnet System. By using this product, it becomes possible to control the function of genes in a time- and space-specific manner through light stimulation.
