ATP7A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ATP7A

Official Full Name: ATPase copper transporting alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that functions in copper transport across membranes. This protein is localized to the trans Golgi network, where it is predicted to supply copper to copper-dependent enzymes in the secretory pathway. It relocalizes to the plasma membrane under conditions of elevated extracellular copper, and functions in the efflux of copper from cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with Menkes disease, X-linked distal spinal muscular atrophy, and occipital horn syndrome. Alternatively-spliced transcript variants have been observed.

Background

ATP7A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the ATP7A gene, which encodes a copper-transporting ATPase essential for maintaining copper homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. These knockout cell lines serve as vital tools in biomedical research, particularly for studies related to copper's role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including motor neuron function, immunity, and certain neurodegenerative diseases.

The primary function of ATP7A involves the export of excess copper from cells, thereby preventing toxic accumulation. Knockout of this gene results in altered copper distribution and metabolism, providing researchers a unique platform to explore the consequences of copper deficiency and its relationship with various diseases, such as Menkes syndrome and Wilson disease. By observing the phenotypic changes and metabolic fluctuations in these cell lines, scientists can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying copper-related disorders and the potential for new therapeutic approaches.

These cell lines are of significant scientific importance as they allow for robust in vitro studies that mimic disease conditions. They are particularly useful in drug screening and understanding the molecular pathways affected by copper dysregulation. Compared to traditional cell lines, ATP7A knockout cells offer a more precise model for elucidating the effects of copper imbalance, making them indispensable for research focused on metal ion homeostasis.

One of the unique selling points of our ATP7A Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their high consistency and reproducibility, which are crucial for generating reliable experimental data. They are also validated for cross-species application, allowing for broader application in translational research. Additionally, these cell lines can be easily integrated into existing high-throughput screening workflows, facilitating research in laboratories with various capabilities.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of ATP7A Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential to accelerate the understanding of copper-related pathophysiology, leading to the development of novel therapeutic strategies. With our established expertise in developing innovative biological products, we ensure that our cell lines are manufactured with the utmost precision and reliability, making them an invaluable asset for advancing research in this critical area of study.
