Gene: APLN
Official Full Name: apelinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a peptide that functions as an endogenous ligand for the G-protein coupled apelin receptor. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed into biologically active C-terminal peptide fragments. These peptide fragments activate different tissue specific signaling pathways that regulate diverse biological functions including fluid homeostasis, cardiovascular function and insulin secretion. This protein also functions as a coreceptor for the human immunodeficiency virus 1. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

APLN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized human cell lines engineered to disrupt the expression of the APLN gene, which encodes the protein apelin—an important peptide involved in regulating various physiological processes, including cardiovascular function, metabolism, and neurobiology. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines enable researchers to study the functional implications of APLN loss, providing insights into its role in health and disease.
The primary function of APLN Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to delineate the precise pathways influenced by apelin signaling. When the gene is knocked out, researchers can observe the downstream effects on cellular behavior, including alterations in cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. This approach is crucial for establishing apelin's role in pathological conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, and allows for the exploration of novel therapeutic avenues.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines cannot be overstated, given their utility in preclinical studies aimed at elucidating disease mechanisms. In research settings, they facilitate the investigation of drug responses and the development of targeted therapies, providing a cellular model that mimics human disease states more closely than traditional models.
Compared to alternative tools like siRNA or shRNA, APLN Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer more permanent and robust loss-of-function effects, eliminating the potential for off-target effects seen with transient knockdown methods. This permanence allows for thorough longitudinal studies and increases the reproducibility of results across experiments.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the value of utilizing APLN Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond data collection and into the realm of innovation, as these models uncover new biological interactions and therapeutic targets. They empower the scientific community to drive forward our understanding of complex biological systems, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.
