ADAM17 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ADAM17

Official Full Name: ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biologic processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. The encoded protease functions in the ectodomain shedding of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, in which soluble tumor necrosis factor-alpha is released from the membrane-bound precursor. This protease also functions in the processing of numerous other substrates, including cell adhesion proteins, cytokine and growth factor receptors and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor ligands, and plays a prominent role in the activation of the Notch signaling pathway. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in specific cell types derived from psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease patients, suggesting that the encoded protein may play a role in autoimmune disease. Additionally, this protease may play a role in viral infection through its cleavage of ACE2, the cellular receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Background

ADAM17 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in the field of molecular biology and genetics, specifically targeting the ADAM17 gene, which encodes for a disintegrin and metalloproteinase involved in a variety of cellular processes, including inflammation, cell signaling, and tissue remodeling. These knockout cell lines are engineered to lack expression of the ADAM17 gene, enabling researchers to elucidate the pathways and biological functions regulated by this important protein.

Key mechanisms underlying the function of ADAM17 involve its role as a sheddase, catalyzing the release of membrane-bound proteins through proteolytic cleavage. By utilizing ADAM17 knockout cell lines, scientists can examine the repercussions of diminished ADAM17 activity, thereby providing insight into its contributions to disease states such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular conditions. These insights hold substantial potential for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting ADAM17-dependent processes.

In both research and clinical settings, ADAM17 knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools for studying gene function, elucidating pathways involved in pathogenesis, and assessing drug responses. Compared to traditional methods such as siRNA knockdown or CRISPR-Cas9 systems with incomplete knockout efficiency, these cell lines provide a robust and consistent model that eliminates confounding variables associated with transient gene silencing.

For researchers and clinicians, the ADAM17 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer several unique advantages, including high reproducibility, well-characterized cellular backgrounds, and the ability to study the long-term effects of ADAM17 loss-of-function in diverse experimental contexts. This makes them a compelling choice for those focused on the mechanistic dissection of ADAM17-related phenomena.
