Description: Cas9 mRNA (5' CAP) is a specialized messenger RNA designed for efficient expression of the CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9), a key component of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system. This mRNA features a 5' cap structure, which enhances its stability and translation efficiency. The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for genome editing, allowing precise modifications to the DNA sequence by introducing double-strand breaks at specific locations, guided by a single-guide RNA (sgRNA). The Cas9 protein, encoded by the mRNA, is responsible for cleaving the target DNA, which can then be repaired through cellular mechanisms such as non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR). Cas9 mRNA (5' CAP) is widely used in various applications, including basic research, gene therapy, and the development of treatments for genetic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. The use of a 5' cap structure helps to protect the mRNA from degradation and enhances its overall functionality, making it a valuable tool for both in vitro and in vivo studies.
