APC Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: APC

Official Full Name: APC regulator of WNT signaling pathwayprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that acts as an antagonist of the Wnt signaling pathway. It is also involved in other processes including cell migration and adhesion, transcriptional activation, and apoptosis. Defects in this gene cause familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominant pre-malignant disease that usually progresses to malignancy. Mutations in the APC gene have been found to occur in most colorectal cancers, where disease-associated mutations tend to be clustered in a small region designated the mutation cluster region (MCR) and result in a truncated protein product.

Background

APC Gene Knockout Cell Lines are meticulously engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) gene's function and its role in various biological processes, particularly cancer development. These cell lines have undergone targeted gene disruption, effectively creating a genetic landscape devoid of APC expression. This knockout model is pivotal for investigating the molecular pathways associated with tumorigenesis, especially in colorectal cancer, where APC mutations are frequently observed.

The primary function of these cell lines is to provide researchers with a robust platform for examining alterations in cell behavior, signaling pathways, and gene expression profiles due to the absence of APC. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, knockout strategies effectively eliminate specific gene functions, allowing for precise mechanistic studies. Researchers can observe changes in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, which are critical for understanding the implications of APC loss-of-function mutations.

Scientifically, the APC Gene Knockout Cell Lines play a vital role in advancing research focused on colorectal cancer genetics, pharmacogenomics, and the development of targeted therapies. They serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery and validation, enabling the assessment of new therapeutic compounds’ efficacy against cancer cells lacking APC.

One of the specific advantages of our APC Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their rigorous validation and characterization, ensuring consistency and reproducibility in experimental outcomes. Compared to alternative models, these lines are derived from well-established parent cell lines, which facilitates comparison and integration with existing data. Additionally, they can be used in various applications, including in vitro assays, screening for drug interactions, and functional genomics studies.

Researchers and clinicians will find exceptional value in these cell lines, as they fill a critical gap in cancer research by imitating the genetic makeup of actual tumor biology. Utilizing our APC Gene Knockout Cell Lines empowers scientists to unravel the complexities of APC-related pathways, ultimately paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.

Our company is committed to excellence in the production of high-quality biological research tools, with extensive expertise in gene editing technologies.
