ADAM8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ADAM8

Official Full Name: ADAM metallopeptidase domain 8provided 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 biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene may be involved in cell adhesion during neurodegeneration, and it is thought to be a target for allergic respiratory diseases, including asthma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

Background

ADAM8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have been specifically modified to disrupt the expression of the ADAM8 gene, a member of the disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family, which plays a pivotal role in cell adhesion, signaling, and matrix remodeling. By knocking out this gene, researchers can investigate the biological functions attributed to ADAM8 and its involvement in various physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation, cancer metastasis, and tissue repair.

These cell lines function by utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which allows for precise gene editing to create mutations that render the ADAM8 protein inactive. The resultant cell lines serve as valuable tools in studying ADAM8's role in cellular communication and its interaction with other proteins involved in signal transduction pathways. This insight is essential for understanding the mechanisms of diseases where ADAM8 is implicated, thus providing a platform for therapeutic intervention.

From a scientific perspective, ADAM8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines enable researchers to elucidate specific gene function and characterize the phenotypic changes associated with its loss. They are particularly important in preclinical research, paving the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting ADAM8-related pathways in conditions such as cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases.

These knockout cell lines offer significant advantages over traditional cell lines, including reduced variability in experimental outcomes and the ability to conduct more straightforward functional assays. The targeted nature of the knockout provides definitive insights into the role of ADAM8, which can be superior to pharmacological inhibition that may affect multiple pathways.

Researchers and clinicians can leverage these knockout models to accelerate discovery and validate therapeutic targets while reducing the time and resources associated with developing new assays. Our company is at the forefront of biotechnology innovation, providing high-quality cellular models that facilitate cutting-edge research and empower scientists in their quest to understand complex biological systems.
