Overview
This product is a stable CRISPR knockout cell line in which Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human has been disrupted in the () background using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. It provides an isogenic model for loss-of-function studies of Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human in its native tissue context. Cells are supplied frozen (1×10⁶ cells / 1.0 ml, BSL-II) and grow as adherent, epithelial monolayers.
CRISPR Knockout Design
- Target gene: Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human
- Knockout strategy: CRISPR-Cas9–mediated frameshift-inducing INDEL generation; confirmed by sanger sequencing of frameshift-inducing indels
- Parental cell line: — , kidney origin
Gene Background
Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human is a protein-coding gene. Its encoded protein participates in cellular processes relevant to the biological pathways associated with cell biology. For detailed gene function, pathway context, and disease associations, refer to the NCBI Gene and UniProt entries for Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human.

Research Applications
- Validate Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human knockout by Western blot or qPCR versus the isogenic parental line.
- Investigate loss-of-function phenotypes: proliferation, viability, morphology, or pathway activity changes.
- Screen drug candidates targeting pathways regulated by Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human using this KO as an isogenic control.
- Perform rescue experiments by re-expressing wild-type Oxytocin receptor (oxtr), human in the knockout background.
- Conduct transcriptomic or proteomic profiling comparing KO versus parental cells.
Important Notes
- Add selection antibiotic to culture medium only after the first passage post-thaw to allow cells to recover.
- Cell viability upon thaw is warranted for 30 days following shipment when handled per abm guidelines.
- For laboratory research use only. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
