shRNA Lentivirus (self-inactivating), pU6-(OR5A1-shRNA-Seq4)(CAT#: LV-SI1627WQ)

This product is a OR5A1-shRNA encoding Lentivirus, which is based on HIV-1 serotype. The OR5A1 gene encodes a olfactory receptor protein that interacts with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The expression of OR5A1-shRNA leads to target gene silencing and this product can be used in gene therapy research and development.
