ADAMTS5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ADAMTS5

Official Full Name: ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 5provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. This enzyme contains two C-terminal TS motifs and functions as an aggrecanase that cleaves aggrecan, a major proteoglycan of cartilage, and may mediate cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis.

Background

ADAMTS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the ADAMTS5 gene, which encodes for a member of the A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) family. This gene is integral in the degradation of aggrecan, a key component of cartilage and essential for maintaining the structural integrity of joints. By selectively knocking out ADAMTS5, these cell lines provide a powerful tool for studying the biological roles of aggrecan processing, contributing significantly to our understanding of various diseases, particularly osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.

The primary function of ADAMTS5 is to cleave aggrecan, thereby playing a pivotal role in cartilage metabolism. The knockout of this gene leads to a stabilized aggrecan structure, ultimately affecting cell signaling, inflammatory responses, and the overall extracellular matrix composition. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to investigate the mechanistic pathways involved in cartilage degradation, assess the efficacy of therapeutic compounds, and explore regenerative medicine applications.

Scientifically, the importance of ADAMTS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their relevance to both fundamental research and clinical settings. The ability to mimic pathophysiological conditions makes these models ideal for drug development, allowing researchers to screen potential inhibitors of aggrecan turnover. Additionally, they offer insights into gene function that can drive forward the field of regenerative medicine, particularly in therapies designed to mitigate joint disorders.

What distinguishes our ADAMTS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines from alternatives is their precise genetic modification, verified through advanced techniques like CRISPR/Cas9, ensuring reproducibility and reliability of results. This specificity allows scientists to obtain more accurate data, minimizing the off-target effects often seen with less targeted approaches.

For researchers and clinicians dedicated to unraveling the complexities of joint diseases, these cell lines represent an invaluable resource that fosters innovation in translational research. The insights gleaned from their use can lead to groundbreaking medical advances and improved therapeutic strategies.

With a commitment to quality and scientific excellence, our company leverages years of expertise in biological product development to deliver cutting-edge tools that empower the scientific community. Our ADAMTS5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a testament to our dedication to advancing research and enhancing human health.
