SMO (Smoothened homolog), also known as  Gx, SMOH and FZD11, is a 7-pass transmembrane (7TM) protein containing 1 FZ (frizzled) domain in the first extracelullar loop. SMO is a G protein-coupled receptor of the Fz/Smo family  that interacts with the patched (PTCH) protein.  PTCH is a receptor for hedgehog proteins.  SMO is thought to tranduce signals to other proteins after activation by a hedgehog protein/patched protein complex. Binding of sonic hedgehog (SHH) to its receptor PTCH is thought to prevent normal inhibition by patched of smoothened (SMO). SMO is required for the accumulation of KIF7 and GLI3 in the cilia.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: SMO; Gx; SMOH; FZD11

 

NCBI Gene ID: 6608

 

Uniprot Entry: Q99835

 

Construct Details: Full length human SMO gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 2364 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
