Abstract

S100 calcium binding protein beta (S100B) is an S-100 low molecular weight binding protein that regulates intracellular processes. This protein is involved in myocardial contractility and calcium handling capacity. In this study, a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line with homozygous S100B knockout (S100B-KO) was generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 editing system. This S100B-KO hESC line maintained normal cell morphology and karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers, and could differentiate into cells of all three germ layers.
