ABCC8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ABCC8

Official Full Name: ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8provided 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 MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein functions as a modulator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and insulin release. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene and deficiencies in the encoded protein have been observed in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy, an autosomal recessive disorder of unregulated and high insulin secretion. Mutations have also been associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II, an autosomal dominant disease of defective insulin secretion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

Background

ABCC8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pivotal advancement in genetic research, specifically targeting the ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 8 (ABCC8) gene, which plays a critical role in the regulation of insulin secretion through its association with the sulfonylurea receptor. These specialized cell lines are developed using state-of-the-art CRISPR-Cas9 technology, enabling precise gene editing that results in the knockout of ABCC8, thereby facilitating studies into the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases such as Type 2 diabetes.

The key function of ABCC8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide researchers with a reliable model for examining the downstream effects of ABCC8 deficiency. By eliminating this gene, scientists can investigate the role of altered insulin release dynamics and cellular responses to glucose. These cell lines serve as an invaluable tool for screening new therapeutic agents, understanding drug interactions, and deciphering the genetic basis of endocrine disorders.

The scientific importance of ABCC8 knockout models extends to both foundational research and clinical applications. They can elucidate pathways involved in beta-cell function and survival, potentially leading to breakthroughs in diabetes treatments and insulin regulation strategies. Furthermore, the ability to study the gene's interactions in a controlled environment enhances the reproducibility and validity of experimental results.

Compared to traditional cell lines, which may not accurately represent the specific genetic mutations linked to metabolic diseases, ABCC8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more biologically relevant model that closely mimics the pathological conditions observed in vivo. Their unique selling point is the unparalleled precision of the gene knockout, which allows for targeted interventions and comprehensive exploration of compensatory mechanisms that can influence therapeutic outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic diseases, these cell lines are invaluable assets that streamline experimental workflows and enhance data robustness. The ability to utilize such specific genetic models accelerates discovery and innovation in diabetes research.
