Gene: BAP1
Official Full Name: BRCA1 associated deubiquitinase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase subfamily of deubiquitinating enzymes that are involved in the removal of ubiquitin from proteins. The encoded enzyme binds to the breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) via the RING finger domain of the latter and acts as a tumor suppressor. In addition, the enzyme may be involved in regulation of transcription, regulation of cell cycle and growth, response to DNA damage and chromatin dynamics. Germline mutations in this gene may be associated with tumor predisposition syndrome (TPDS), which involves increased risk of cancers including malignant mesothelioma, uveal melanoma and cutaneous melanoma.

BAP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the expression of the BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1). This product serves as a crucial tool for investigating the role of BAP1 in various cellular processes, including DNA damage response, tumorigenesis, and cell cycle regulation. By providing a model that mimics the loss of BAP1 function, researchers can gain insights into its implications in cancer biology and other diseases.
The primary mechanism of action for BAP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in the disruption of the BAP1 gene through targeted gene editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9. This knockout results in the loss of the protein's enzymatic functions, which include deubiquitination, thereby impacting pathways involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to delineate the downstream effects of BAP1 loss, which is often correlated with various malignancies, such as mesothelioma and renal cell carcinoma.
Scientifically, BAP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are of profound importance in both research and clinical contexts. They provide a valuable platform for studying the molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis, evaluating potential therapeutic targets, and testing novel cancer treatments. Their application extends to drug screening and biomarker discovery, thereby facilitating advancements in personalized medicine.
Compared to alternative cell lines that may partially mimic gene functions, the complete knockout of BAP1 allows for a more accurate assessment of the gene’s role in cellular contexts. This specificity provides researchers with heightened confidence in experimental outcomes and correlational data, making these cell lines an invaluable asset in cancer research and beyond.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers alike, the BAP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a unique opportunity to elucidate the complexities of BAP1-associated pathways.
