Cas9 Nuclease is derived from the wild-type Streptococcus pyogenes and is an RNA-guided endonuclease that specifically cleaves double-stranded DNA (it can also cleave single-stranded DNA or RNA in the presence of a DNA PAM). The Cas9 cleavage site is located within the target sequence, three base pairs away from the PAM (NGG) region. Cas9 Nuclease has undergone codon optimization and design with a nuclear localization signal (NLS), and is expressed through recombinant expression in Escherichia coli. It exhibits high editing efficiency and can be used for gene modification in cells (such as hematopoietic stem cells, T cells, etc.), as well as for molecular diagnostics and pathogen detection.
Features
Optimized nuclear localization signal: The optimized nuclear localization signal (NLS) enhances editing efficiency.
High editing efficiency: Consistently high editing efficiency both in vitro and in vivo.
High purity: The purity is greater than or equal to 95%.
High concentration: It is applicable under standard editing conditions and is also suitable for optimizing editing conditions in more challenging scenarios, such as in primary or embryonic cells, through microinjection or when conducting high-throughput screening of multiple gRNA sequences.
Applications
CRISPR/Cas gene editing
Diagnostic and detection based on the CRISPR/Cas system

Figures

Figure 1. Results of Cas9 nuclease in vitro cleavage activity and gene knockout efficiency
Store this enzyme at -20°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve catalytic activity. The product is shipped Dry Ice and remains stable for up to one year from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions. Aliquoting the stock solution into single-use volumes is recommended for enzymes used infrequently to minimize thermal cycling of the bulk stock.
CRISPR/Cas gene editing Diagnostic and detection based on the CRISPR/Cas system. Always verify compatibility with your specific template, buffer, and downstream workflow.
Nuclease activity is expressed in µg/µL; cleavage efficiency is validated as the percentage of target DNA cut within 60 min at 37°C using a defined guide RNA and target plasmid substrate.
This enzyme is produced as Recombinant (E. coli) and supplied as a Research Use Only (RUO) reagent. Each lot is subjected to activity assay, purity assessment by SDS-PAGE, and functional validation prior to release. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) are available on request.
On-target efficiency is primarily determined by guide RNA (gRNA) design, target accessibility within chromatin, and PAM sequence context. Off-target cleavage is influenced by sequence complementarity mismatches (particularly in the seed region proximal to the PAM), enzyme concentration, and delivery method. High-fidelity Cas9 variants with engineered positional charge substitutions significantly reduce off-target activity (>99% reduction) while maintaining on-target cleavage efficiency comparable to wild-type enzyme.
