Light switch reagent for gene expression in biotechnology
Control of gene expression in a time- and space-specific manner using light stimulation.
In the field of biotechnology, particularly in the research of cell control, technologies that precisely regulate gene functions are essential. Light manipulation techniques that enable temporal and spatial control, which are difficult to achieve with drug administration, are in demand. This product is PA-Cre, which combines the Cre recombinase with the light-switchable protein Magnet System. With this product, the activity of genes can be controlled by light stimulation. 【Application Scenarios】 - Cell culture experiments requiring temporal and spatial control of gene expression - Gene function analysis in specific cell types or tissues - Gene manipulation in the creation of disease models 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Activation of Cre recombinase by light irradiation allows for on/off control of gene expression - Precise gene control with high temporal and spatial resolution - More accurate gene manipulation compared to drug administration *This product is a reagent for testing and research purposes. It cannot be used for human or animal pharmaceuticals, quasi-drugs, medical devices, regenerative medicine products, in vitro diagnostic drugs, or any other purposes outside of testing and research.
