ACTN4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ACTN4

Official Full Name: actinin alpha 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Alpha actinins belong to the spectrin gene superfamily which represents a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins, including the alpha and beta spectrins and dystrophins. Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. This gene encodes a nonmuscle, alpha actinin isoform which is concentrated in the cytoplasm, and thought to be involved in metastatic processes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ACTN4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered models designed to facilitate the study of the actin-binding protein alpha-actinin-4 (ACTN4) by specifically disrupting its gene expression. These cell lines enable researchers to investigate the biological roles of ACTN4, which is known to play a significant role in cytoskeletal organization and cellular processes such as migration, adhesion, and proliferation. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology or other gene-editing approaches, the knockout of ACTN4 gene provides a robust tool for elucidating the protein's function in health and disease.

The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in the removal of ACTN4's influence, allowing researchers to observe changes in cellular behavior that stem from its absence. This can reveal critical insights into mechanisms underlying various pathologies, including cancer metastasis and heart disease. Additionally, ACTN4 is implicated in cellular responses to stress and is correlated with certain muscular and neurological disorders, enhancing the relevance of these cell lines in translational research.

In terms of scientific importance, ACTN4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer significant advantages in research settings. Traditional methods may struggle to achieve precise gene manipulation without off-target effects, but knockout lines provide a controlled environment that fosters reproducibility and accuracy in experimental outcomes. Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or transient transfection systems, these knockout lines afford a stable platform for long-term studies and drug testing.

By utilizing ACTN4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians can unlock deep biological questions in areas ranging from functional genomics to therapeutic development. The ability to systematically investigate the pathways influenced by ACTN4 enhances understanding of its role in various diseases, paving the way for innovative strategies in treatment.
