AP3D1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: AP3D1

Official Full Name: adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit delta 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the AP3 adaptor-like complex, which is not clathrin-associated, but is associated with the golgi region, as well as more peripheral structures. The AP-3 complex facilitates the budding of vesicles from the golgi membrane, and may be directly involved in trafficking to lysosomes. This subunit is implicated in intracellular biogenesis and trafficking of pigment granules, and possibly platelet dense granules and neurotransmitter vesicles. Defects in this gene are a cause of a new type of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

Background

AP3D1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have had their AP3D1 gene inactivated through precise genome editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9. This gene encodes for the adaptor protein complex 3 (AP-3), which plays a crucial role in intracellular transport and trafficking of proteins to lysosomes and endosomes. By creating knockout lines, researchers can investigate the functional implications of AP3D1 loss, offering insights into cellular pathways and diseases associated with impaired protein sorting and trafficking.

The primary function of AP3D1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to serve as a valuable platform for studying the phenotypic consequences of AP3D1 ablation. Mechanistically, the absence of this gene disrupts normal vesicle-mediated transport, thereby allowing researchers to analyze alterations in cellular processes such as membrane recycling, signal transduction, and lysosomal function. This contributes to a better understanding of various pathologies, including neurodegenerative conditions and immune disorders, where protein mislocalization is prevalent.

The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines cannot be overstated; they provide a robust model for drug discovery, target validation, and mechanistic studies in both academic and clinical research settings. For instance, they can be employed to assess the efficacy of therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring normal protein trafficking or to screen compounds that target the biochemical pathways affected by the loss of AP3D1 function.

Compared to traditional cell lines or previous knockout models, AP3D1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced reliability and specificity, ensuring reproducible results that meet the rigorous standards of modern scientific inquiry. Additionally, they circumvent the variability often seen in wild-type cell lines, ultimately leading to more precise experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians looking to elucidate the roles of lysosomal dysfunction in disease, these knockout cell lines represent a crucial tool in their arsenal. The unique availability of these specialized models enhances the overall research portfolio, facilitating greater understanding and potential treatment avenues for complex diseases.
