Gene: ACVR1
Official Full Name: activin A receptor type 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Activins are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor serine kinases which include at least two type I ( I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors. These receptors are all transmembrane proteins, composed of a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with predicted serine/threonine specificity. Type I receptors are essential for signaling; and type II receptors are required for binding ligands and for expression of type I receptors. Type I and II receptors form a stable complex after ligand binding, resulting in phosphorylation of type I receptors by type II receptors. This gene encodes activin A type I receptor which signals a particular transcriptional response in concert with activin type II receptors. Mutations in this gene are associated with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACVR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to investigate the function of the Activin A Receptor Type 1 (ACVR1) gene, a critical component in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily signaling pathways. These cell lines have been constructed using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to precisely knock out the ACVR1 gene, allowing researchers to study the resultant phenotypic effects and biological processes without the influence of this receptor.
The primary function of ACVR1 is to mediate cellular responses to various ligands, including activins and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which are vital for numerous developmental and physiological processes. The knockout of ACVR1 disrupts these pathways, enabling scientists to explore mechanisms underlying various diseases, such as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and certain cancers. By using these ACVR1 knockout cell lines, researchers can perform detailed analyses of cell proliferation, differentiation, and response to therapeutic agents.
In the realm of scientific research, ACVR1 gene knockout cell lines serve as valuable tools for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of diseases associated with aberrant ACVR1 signaling. Their application in drug discovery and functional genomics allows for the identification of novel therapeutic targets and the development of more effective treatment strategies.
One of the unique advantages of these cell lines is their high specificity and reproducibility, significantly enhancing research reliability compared to alternative models. Traditional methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference, often yield off-target effects, which may confound experimental results. In contrast, the precise knockout achieved by CRISPR-Cas9 results in a complete absence of the gene product, providing a clearer understanding of its role in cellular processes.
For researchers and clinicians, the ACVR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in driving forward innovative research and potential therapeutic advancements in related fields. They enable a deeper understanding of ACVR1's role in health and disease, making them essential tools in modern biomedical research.
