Gene: ABCA7
Official Full Name: ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 7provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This full transporter has been detected predominantly in myelo-lymphatic tissues with the highest expression in peripheral leukocytes, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. The function of this protein is not yet known; however, the expression pattern suggests a role in lipid homeostasis in cells of the immune system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ABCA7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a powerful tool for studying the biological functions associated with the ABCA7 gene, which plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism and the immune response. These genetically modified cell lines are engineered to have the ABCA7 gene completely disrupted, providing researchers with the ability to investigate the downstream effects of its absence on cellular processes, signaling pathways, and interactions with other biomolecules.
The primary function of ABCA7 is to facilitate the transport of lipids across cellular membranes, influencing cholesterol metabolism and inflammatory responses. In the contexts of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, ABCA7 has been implicated in amyloid precursor protein processing and amyloid-beta clearance. By employing gene knockout cell lines, researchers can delineate the role of ABCA7 in disease pathophysiology, assess the impact on lipid profiles, and explore potential therapeutic targets.
The scientific relevance of these knockout cell lines extends beyond basic research; they hold significant value in drug discovery and development, especially for therapies aiming to modulate lipid metabolism or address neuroinflammatory conditions. Unlike alternative cell models, our ABCA7 knockout lines provide a precise genetic context, ensuring that experiments can yield more interpretable and reproducible results.
Researchers and clinicians will find these cell lines invaluable for examining the intricate relationships between gene function and disease mechanisms. Investigating the ABCA7 gene's contributions to various conditions could lead to breakthroughs in both preventive and therapeutic strategies.
