Gene: AKAP13
Official Full Name: A-kinase anchoring protein 13provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally diverse proteins which have the common function of binding to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and confining the holoenzyme to discrete locations within the cell. This gene encodes a member of the AKAP family. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms containing c-terminal dbl oncogene homology (DH) and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains. The DH domain is associated with guanine nucleotide exchange activation for the Rho/Rac family of small GTP binding proteins, resulting in the conversion of the inactive GTPase to the active form capable of transducing signals. The PH domain has multiple functions. Therefore, these isoforms function as scaffolding proteins to coordinate a Rho signaling pathway, function as protein kinase A-anchoring proteins and, in addition, enhance ligand-dependent activity of estrogen receptors alpha and beta.

AKAP13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that silence the expression of the AKAP13 gene, which is integral to various signaling pathways that regulate cellular processes including growth, motility, and differentiation. This product utilizes CRISPR-Cas9 technology to create precise deletions within the gene, yielding homogeneous populations of AKAP13-deficient cells that enable rigorous investigation of the gene's role in cellular physiology.
The primary function of AKAP13 is its capacity to scaffold multiple signaling proteins, which facilitates the spatial and temporal regulation of cAMP-dependent signaling pathways. By knocking out this gene, researchers can elucidate the contribution of AKAP13 to various signal transduction mechanisms, enabling a deeper understanding of its role in diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegeneration. These cell lines serve as valuable tools for studying cellular responses in both experimental and therapeutic contexts, fostering advancements in targeted drug discovery and regenerative medicine.
One of the significant advantages of AKAP13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the high specificity and efficiency of CRISPR-mediated gene editing, which minimizes off-target effects commonly associated with older methodologies. Compared to other knockout techniques, these cell lines offer a streamlined generation process and reproducibility, providing researchers with reliable models for experimentation.
For clinicians and researchers, the ability to manipulate the AKAP13 gene allows for precise investigations into its potential as a therapeutic target. The insights gained from using these knockout cell lines can drive the development of innovative treatment strategies that mitigate the effects of diseases linked to aberrant signaling pathways.
