ATP7B Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ATP7B

Official Full Name: ATPase copper transporting betaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least 2 putative copper-binding sites. This protein is a monomer, and functions as a copper-transporting ATPase which exports copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms with distinct cellular localizations, have been characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilson disease which is characterized by copper accumulation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2019]

Background

ATP7B Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a groundbreaking tool for researchers exploring the intricate role of the ATP7B gene in copper homeostasis and related pathologies, such as Wilson's disease. These genetically engineered cell lines have been meticulously created to exhibit a loss-of-function mutation of the ATP7B gene, allowing for the direct study of the gene's absence on cellular mechanisms and copper metabolism.

The key functions of ATP7B revolve around its role as a copper-transporting ATPase, responsible for the excretion of excess copper from the liver. The knockout cell lines enable scientists to delineate the biochemical pathways that are disrupted in the absence of functional ATP7B, resulting in impaired copper export and metabolic dysfunction. This research tool facilitates the understanding of cellular responses to copper overload and the consequent toxic effects that arise, especially in hepatic tissues.

In the context of scientific importance, the ATP7B Gene Knockout Cell Lines have far-reaching applications in both research and clinical settings. By offering an in vitro model to study Wilson's disease and assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents, these cell lines provide insights into pathophysiological mechanisms that could inform future drug development and clinical interventions.

What sets our ATP7B Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their high specificity and reproducibility, coupled with robust characterization that ensures reliable experimental outcomes. Unlike transient knockdown approaches that may not consistently represent long-term gene knockout effects, our stable cell lines offer a persistent, well-defined genetic alteration that researchers can depend on.

For researchers and clinicians alike, these cell lines are invaluable for advancing our understanding of copper-related diseases and for paving the way toward new therapeutic strategies. The ability to model diseases at a cellular level accelerates discoveries that can lead to clinical applications aimed at improving patient outcomes.

With years of expertise in the development of high-quality biological products, our company is dedicated to supporting the scientific community with innovative solutions such as the ATP7B Gene Knockout Cell Lines. We are committed to providing the resources that enable groundbreaking research and foster advancements in healthcare.
