During development it directs the specification of endoderm-derived tissues, including liver, pancreas, lung, and prostate. In adult cells FOXA1 acts as a key cofactor for nuclear hormone receptors such as the estrogen and androgen receptors, shaping their genomic binding and transcriptional output. Altered FOXA1 expression and recurrent FOXA1 mutations are observed in breast and prostate cancers, where the factor influences lineage identity, hormone responsiveness, and tumor progression, making it an important target in cancer and developmental biology research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Description \u0026amp; Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe h\/m FOXA1 shRNA Lentivirus delivers a validated short hairpin RNA targeting human and mouse FOXA1 for stable, RNA interference-based gene silencing. The 19-20 bp shRNA is expressed from a U6 Pol III promoter within a third-generation, self-inactivating lentiviral backbone, with a constitutively expressed fluorescent reporter (GFP, GFP\/Luc, RFP, RFP\/Luc) and an antibiotic selection marker (Blasticidin or Puromycin) for tracking and stable line generation. VSV-G pseudotyping supports broad tropism, including primary, suspension, and cryopreserved cells. Knockdown is confirmed to meet or exceed 70% using a fluorescence-based assay. Particles are ultra-purified and concentrated by PEG precipitation and sucrose gradient centrifugation. Sets supply lentivirus from two independent shRNAs plus a scrambled-shRNA control for loss-of-function studies of FOXA1 in cancer and cell biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout This Product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis validated shRNA lentivirus targeting FOXA1 (NCBI Accession: NM_004496.5) delivers a 19–20 bp shRNA from a third-generation, self-inactivating lentiviral backbone. Expression is driven from a U6 Pol III promoter, with a constitutively expressed fluorescent reporter (GFP, GFP\/Luc, RFP, RFP\/Luc) and antibiotic selection marker (Blasticidin, Puromycin) co-expressed from the same vector. VSV-G pseudotyping enables broad cell tropism, including primary, suspension, and cryopreserved cell types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnockdown is validated using a proprietary bicistronic fluorescence assay in which the target mRNA is co-expressed fused to RFP alongside the shRNA-GFP construct. At least 70% reduction in RFP signal in GFP-positive cells confirms on-target activity — a more direct functional readout than transcript-level qPCR. Polyclonal stable lines can be generated by antibiotic selection within 10 days, preserving parental cell heterogeneity compared to single-clone CRISPR approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LipExoGen Biotech","offers":[{"title":"GFP \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6 (sh-mix) + 5x10^6 (scr-mix)","offer_id":53251619946861,"sku":"LSV-0057-SET1","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RFP \/ Blasticidin \/ 5x10^6 (sh-mix) + 5x10^6 (scr-mix)","offer_id":53251631939949,"sku":"LSV-0057-SET2","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GFP \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53251631972717,"sku":"LSV-0057-1S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RFP \/ Blasticidin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53251632005485,"sku":"LSV-0057-2S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/LSV-0057-hm-FOXA1-shRNA-Fig1.jpg?v=1776934151","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/h-m-foxa1-shrna-lentivirus-bhv19400172","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
