AKAP5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: AKAP5

Official Full Name: A-kinase anchoring protein 5provided 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. The encoded protein binds to the RII-beta regulatory subunit of PKA, and also to protein kinase C and the phosphatase calcineurin. It is predominantly expressed in cerebral cortex and may anchor the PKA protein at postsynaptic densities (PSD) and be involved in the regulation of postsynaptic events. It is also expressed in T lymphocytes and may function to inhibit interleukin-2 transcription by disrupting calcineurin-dependent dephosphorylation of NFAT. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

AKAP5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are uniquely engineered cellular models that have had the AKAP5 gene selectively disrupted, leading to the elimination of its expression. This powerful tool is designed for researchers investigating the role of the A-kinase anchoring protein 5 (AKAP5) in various cellular processes and signaling pathways. By creating a knockout model, researchers can study the phenotypic consequences of AKAP5 deficiency, which is integral to understanding its role in cellular signaling cascades, particularly those involving protein kinase A (PKA).

The primary mechanism of these cell lines involves the inactivation of the AKAP5 gene through targeted genomic editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9. This results in the lack of functional AKAP5 protein, enabling the study of its interactions, downstream effects on cellular signaling, and related biological processes. AKAP5 is known to anchor signaling molecules, hence its absence provides insight into altered cellular responses, including changes in signal transduction related to neurobiology, cardiac function, and metabolic regulation.

These gene knockout cell lines hold significant scientific importance in both research and clinical contexts. They facilitate the exploration of AKAP5's implications in diseases such as heart failure, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancers, where dysregulated signaling pathways are often implicated. By using AKAP5 knockout models, researchers can develop targeted therapies and investigate novel treatments tailored to correct the specific signaling dysfunctions associated with these conditions.

What sets our AKAP5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their high specificity, reproducibility, and ease of use. Offering robust performance, these cell lines allow for consistent and reliable results in experimental setups, making them indispensable tools for studies focusing on protein kinases and their regulatory mechanisms. Additionally, our proprietary cell line development process ensures optimal growth conditions and cellular plasticity, further enhancing their usability in various experimental approaches.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to deepen their understanding of AKAP5-related signaling pathways, our gene knockout cell lines represent a valuable addition to their toolkit. By providing a reliable platform for experimental analysis, we empower scientists to push the boundaries of biomedical research. Our company prides itself on its commitment to advancing scientific knowledge through the development of high-quality, genetically engineered products, supported by a team of experts dedicated to enhancing research outcomes.
