Gene: ARHGEF18
Official Full Name: Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 18provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Rho GTPases are GTP binding proteins that regulate a wide spectrum of cellular functions. These cellular processes include cytoskeletal rearrangements, gene transcription, cell growth and motility. Activation of Rho GTPases is under the direct control of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). The protein encoded by this gene is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor and belongs to the Rho GTPase GEF family. Family members share a common feature, a Dbl (DH) homology domain followed by a pleckstrin (PH) homology domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2018]

ARHGEF18 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the Rho GTPase signaling pathway, specifically through the ablation of the ARHGEF18 gene. This gene encodes a protein that acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rho GTPases, playing a crucial role in cellular processes such as cytoskeletal organization, cell migration, and proliferation. By providing a cellular context where ARHGEF18 is specifically knocked out, researchers can delineate its function, assess the impact on downstream signaling pathways, and understand its implications in various biological phenomena.
The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to enable researchers to explore the role of ARHGEF18 in cellular signaling in a controlled environment. They facilitate investigations into the gene's contributions to cellular motility and invasiveness, particularly within the framework of cancer research. The absence of ARHGEF18 allows for a direct assessment of alterations in Rho GTPase activity and downstream cellular responses, giving insight into pathological mechanisms associated with tumor progression and metastasis.
In research and clinical settings, ARHGEF18 gene knockout cell lines hold significant scientific importance as they contribute to the understanding of the molecular underpinnings of cancer biology. They can also serve as a platform for drug discovery, enabling the evaluation of therapeutic compounds aimed at targeting Rho GTPase signaling pathways. These cell lines provide reproducible experimental models, ensuring high-quality data that can be pivotal for both academic and pharmaceutical research.
Compared to traditional cell lines, ARHGEF18 knockout lines offer distinct advantages by providing a model that accepts the elimination of specific gene functions. This specificity allows for greater clarity in experimental outcomes and contributes to the development of more targeted therapies.
For researchers and clinicians focused on advancing knowledge in cell signaling and therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment, these knockout cell lines are invaluable tools. They not only enhance experimental rigor but also open new avenues in understanding complex biological systems.
