ASGR1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ASGR1

Official Full Name: asialoglycoprotein receptor 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of the asialoglycoprotein receptor. This receptor is a transmembrane protein that plays a critical role in serum glycoprotein homeostasis by mediating the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of glycoproteins with exposed terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues. The asialoglycoprotein receptor may facilitate hepatic infection by multiple viruses including hepatitis B, and is also a target for liver-specific drug delivery. The asialoglycoprotein receptor is a hetero-oligomeric protein composed of major and minor subunits, which are encoded by different genes. The protein encoded by this gene is the more abundant major subunit. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Background

ASGR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have had the asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) gene disrupted through targeted genetic modifications. This product is essential for studying the physiological roles of ASGR1 in various cellular processes, including endocytosis, immune response modulation, and hepatic metabolism. The loss of ASGR1 function in these cell lines allows researchers to dissect the gene's contributions to pathophysiological conditions such as liver diseases and cancers, providing a controlled environment to observe cellular behaviors.

The primary function of these cell lines lies in their ability to mimic the effects of ASGR1 deficiency, thereby facilitating the exploration of receptor-mediated endocytosis and the immunological implications of ASGR1 in different disease models. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or other genome editing approaches, our cell lines allow for precise knockout of ASGR1, leading to clear phenotypic changes that can be systematically analyzed. This mechanism provides unparalleled insights into the gene's functionality, serving as a powerful tool for both in vitro and in vivo studies.

The scientific importance of ASGR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their wide array of applications in both research and clinical settings. They can be employed in drug discovery processes to evaluate potential therapeutics targeting ASGR1-associated pathways or for the development of biomarkers in individualized treatment plans. Furthermore, these models are crucial in understanding the molecular underpinnings of diseases where ASGR1 plays a pivotal role, thereby advancing our knowledge and capabilities in precision medicine.

A significant advantage of our ASGR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their quality assurance and reproducibility compared to other alternatives, such as transient knockdown approaches. Researchers benefit from stable, long-lasting gene alterations that enable consistent observations across various experimental setups. Additionally, these cell lines are compatible with various high-throughput screening applications, making them an ideal choice for pharmaceutical developers.

By choosing our ASGR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians gain a valuable asset to their investigations, enhancing their ability to explore the complexities of ASGR1 functions and its impact on human health. At our company, we pride ourselves on our commitment to superior genetic engineering technologies and providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the scientific community.
