ATG4B Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ATG4B

Official Full Name: autophagy related 4B cysteine peptidaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Autophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly. Autophagy is postulated to be essential for cell homeostasis and cell remodeling during differentiation, metamorphosis, non-apoptotic cell death, and aging. Reduced levels of autophagy have been described in some malignant tumors, and a role for autophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed. This gene encodes a member of the autophagin protein family. The encoded protein is also designated as a member of the C-54 family of cysteine proteases. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ATG4B gene knockout cell lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically engineered to disrupt the expression of the autophagy-related 4B (ATG4B) gene. This gene plays a critical role in the autophagic process, which is essential for cellular homeostasis, protein degradation, and organelle turnover. The ATG4B protein is involved in the initial stages of autophagy, specifically in the processing of autophagy-related proteins and the formation of autophagosomes. By knocking out ATG4B, researchers can investigate the downstream effects of impaired autophagy, providing valuable insights into various pathophysiological conditions.

The key mechanism behind these knockout cell lines allows scientists to study the consequences of ATG4B deficiency on cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell proliferation, and stress response. This is particularly valuable in research related to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders where dysregulation of autophagy is a known contributor to disease pathology. Clinically, findings derived from these models can guide the development of autophagy-modulating therapies and enhance our understanding of treatment resistance in oncological applications.

One of the unique selling points of ATG4B gene knockout cell lines is their meticulously validated genetic disruption, ensuring reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes. Compared to other models, these knockout cell lines offer a more focused approach to studying the specific role of autophagy in disease mechanisms, empowering researchers with precision tools that can elucidate complex biological questions.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the availability of ATG4B gene knockout cell lines directly supports advanced therapeutic research and the development of novel interventions. Their utility in both basic and translational research makes them an indispensable asset in study design aimed at understanding cellular stress responses and potential therapeutic targets.
