AKAP8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: AKAP8

Official Full Name: A-kinase anchoring protein 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the A-kinase anchor protein family. A-kinase anchor proteins are scaffold proteins that contain a binding domain for the RI/RII subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and recruit PKA and other signaling molecules to specific subcellular locations. This gene encodes a nuclear A-kinase anchor protein that binds to the RII alpha subunit of PKA and may play a role in chromosome condensation during mitosis by targeting PKA and the condensin complex to chromatin. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

Background

AKAP8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell models engineered to disrupt the expression of the AKAP8 gene, a critical regulator of signaling pathways involved in various cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The knockout of the AKAP8 gene results in the elimination of the corresponding protein, which is known to play a pivotal role in binding protein kinases to specific substrates, thereby influencing cellular responses to hormonal and neurotransmitter signals.

These cell lines function through a carefully designed CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing approach, ensuring efficient and precise disruption of the AKAP8 gene. The lack of AKAP8 expression enables researchers to study the downstream effects on signaling cascades, offering insights into its role in pathophysiological conditions and disease states, particularly in cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The AKAP8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a valuable tool for elucidating the complex interactions between signaling molecules and their pathways, facilitating the understanding of various biological processes.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their applications in both basic and translational research. Researchers can utilize them to explore the mechanistic roles of AKAP8 in cellular responses and to develop targeted therapeutics aimed at diseases where AKAP8 is implicated. Furthermore, these knockout models allow for the validation of AKAP8 as a potential biomarker or therapeutic target, bridging the gap between laboratory research and clinical application.

Compared to conventional cell lines, our AKAP8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a unique advantage by offering a precise genetic model with reproducible and consistent knockdown efficiency, enabling more accurate and reliable experimental outcomes. Unlike alternatives, which may rely on pharmacological inhibitors or transient knockdown methods that can yield variable results, our knockout cell lines deliver a stable and permanent genetic modification, thus enhancing the validity of research findings.

Researchers and clinicians will find immense value in the AKAP8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, as they represent an indispensable resource for investigating signaling pathways and their physiological roles. This, in turn, supports the advancement of knowledge in cellular biology and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
