HK-CRISPR-Nup188-mEGFP Cells

HK-CRISPR-Nup188-mEGFP is a genetically modified Hela Kyoto cell line. It uses CRISPR/Cas9 technology to integrate mEGFP (monomeric Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein) at the Nup188 locus. Nup188 is a key nucleoporin protein involved in the nuclear pore complex, essential for molecule transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. The mEGFP tagging allows real-time visualization of Nup188, aiding in the study of nuclear pore complex dynamics and function.

This cell line is particularly useful for researchers focusing on nuclear transport and nuclear pore complex biology. Its fluorescent tagging enables observation of Nup188 under various conditions, including drug treatments and genetic modifications. Applications include high-content screening, live-cell imaging, and other fluorescence-based techniques, providing valuable insights into nucleocytoplasmic transport and nuclear envelope integrity.
