AAK1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: AAK1

Official Full Name: AP2 associated kinase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the SNF1 subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. Adaptor-related protein complex 2 (AP-2 complexes) functions during receptor-mediated endocytosis to trigger clathrin assembly, interact with membrane-bound receptors, and recruit encodytic accessory factors. The encoded protein interacts with and phosphorylates a subunit of the AP-2 complex, which promotes binding of AP-2 to sorting signals found in membrane-bound receptors and subsequent receptor endocytosis. Its kinase activity is stimulated by clathrin. This kinase has been shown to play an important role in regulating the clathrin-mediated endocytosis of the rabies virus, facilitating infection. Inhibitors of this kinase are being studied as candidate therapeutics to disrupt the entry of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, into target cells. It is also involved in positive regulation of Notch pathway signaling in mammals. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

Background

AAK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines with the AAK1 (AP2-associated protein kinase 1) gene effectively disabled, allowing researchers to investigate the functional roles of this kinase in cellular processes. AAK1 is primarily involved in endocytic pathways and protein trafficking, making its knockout an invaluable tool for studying mechanisms of internalization and the regulation of various signaling pathways.

These cell lines facilitate unique experimental designs by enabling the clarity of phenotypic outcomes that stem from AAK1 disruption. The knockout mechanism relies on CRISPR-Cas9 technology, systematically introducing mutations that result in loss-of-function of the gene, thereby providing a robust framework for analyzing the downstream effects on cellular behavior and interactions.

The scientific importance of AAK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is evident in their application within both research and clinical settings. They are particularly relevant for studies focused on metabolic regulation, cancer biology, and neurological disorders, where AAK1's role in endocytosis and membrane trafficking provides critical insights. Moreover, these cell lines can be instrumental in drug discovery and development by serving as models for testing potential therapeutic compounds aimed at modulating AAK1 activity.

When compared to other gene knockout technologies, AAK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages, such as higher specificity and reduced off-target effects inherent to CRISPR-Cas9 systems. This precision ensures that researchers can confidently attribute observed phenotypes directly to AAK1 loss.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the value this product brings is substantial; it not only streamlines experimental workflows but also enhances reproducibility and reliability in results. Our company, with its deep-rooted expertise in creating high-quality genetic tools, is committed to enabling significant breakthroughs in biological research, ensuring that scientists are equipped with the best resources to unravel complex biological questions.
