This gene encodes a protein related to the Lon protease protein family. In rodents and other mammals this gene product is found in the cytoplasm localized with a calcium channel membrane protein, and is thought to play a role in brain development. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic cognitive disability. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Figure 1. A) Four membrane proteins were knocked out in K562 cells using XDel technology, following EditCo Bio’s proprietary workflow. Protein levels were assessed via flow cytometry at four time points: days 3, 7, 14, and 21 post-transfection, and compared to negative controls (non-edited cells or cells electroporated with Cas9 only). Membrane protein depletion remained stable over time, and cell viability was consistently high (>90%) across all samples. B) Representative flow cytometry plots showing protein levels for CD46 and CD59 in XDel knockout pools at 21 days post-editing.
