ATG4C Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ATG4C

Official Full Name: autophagy related 4C 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 the same protein, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ATG4C Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a groundbreaking advancement in cellular research, specifically designed to study autophagy, a critical cellular process for degrading and recycling cellular components. The ATG4C gene encodes a cysteine protease essential for the autophagy pathway, facilitating the formation of autophagosomes and the subsequent degradation of selected cytoplasmic components. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines provide a robust platform to create precise gene knockouts, allowing researchers to investigate the effects of ATG4C deficiency on cellular metabolism, stress responses, and overall cell viability.

The primary mechanism of action of the ATG4C knockouts is the disruption of autophagy flux, leading to the accumulation of damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. This phenotype is essential for understanding various diseases, such as neurodegeneration, cancer, and infectious diseases, where autophagy plays a protective or detrimental role. The availability of these cell lines facilitates the evaluation of therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating autophagy, paving the way for innovative treatments.

Scientifically, ATG4C Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable tools in both research and clinical settings. They enable the dissection of complex autophagy-related pathways, offering insights into cellular homeostasis and therapeutic targets for diseases associated with autophagy dysregulation. Compared to other models, our cell lines exhibit enhanced specificity and reproducibility, ensuring that experimental findings are both reliable and translatable.

The unique selling proposition of ATG4C Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to advance our understanding of autophagy beyond what traditional models can achieve. Researchers and clinicians will find these cell lines critical for unraveling the nuances of cellular defense mechanisms and disease pathology, contributing to the development of cutting-edge therapies.

With a commitment to scientific excellence and a portfolio of high-quality biological products, our company stands at the forefront of innovation, providing researchers with the tools they need to drive forward-thinking discoveries in the realm of cellular biology and therapeutic development.
