ADAMTS8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ADAMTS8

Official Full Name: ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 8provided 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 disrupts angiogenesis in vivo. A number of disorders have been mapped in the vicinity of this gene, most notably lung neoplasms. Reduced expression of this gene has been observed in multiple human cancers and this gene has been proposed as a potential tumor suppressor. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Background

ADAMTS8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to study the functional role of the ADAMTS8 gene, which encodes a member of the disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs family. These cell lines are created through the use of advanced CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, ensuring a complete and specific knockout of the ADAMTS8 gene, enabling researchers to investigate its biological functions in a controlled environment.

The primary function of ADAMTS8 involves extracellular matrix remodeling, which is crucial for various physiological processes such as tissue repair and cellular signaling pathways. By employing these knockout cell lines, scientists can delineate the contributions of ADAMTS8 in cellular behaviors like migration, adhesion, and apoptosis, providing insights into its role in diseases, such as cancer and fibrosis. This makes the ADAMTS8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines invaluable for both basic and translational research aiming to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Compared to traditional methods of gene disruption, such as RNA interference, the ADAMTS8 knockout provides a more stable and complete genetic alteration, thereby mitigating issues of off-target effects and transient expression. The precise nature of this genome editing makes it a superior tool for researchers pursuing long-term studies on the effects of ADAMTS8 absence on cell physiology.

For researchers and clinicians focused on understanding the complexities of extracellular matrix interactions or developing targeted therapies, the availability of ADAMTS8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is a significant advancement. These products not only facilitate the acceleration of research but also enhance the reproducibility of experimental results, ultimately leading to faster breakthroughs in understanding and combating various diseases.
