BBS12 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: BBS12

Official Full Name: Bardet-Biedl syndrome 12provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex that is involved in membrane trafficking. The encoded protein is a molecular chaperone that aids in protein folding upon ATP hydrolysis. This protein also plays a role in adipocyte differentiation. Defects in this gene are a cause of Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 12. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Background

BBS12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been engineered to lack the BBS12 gene, which is crucial for the study of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS), a rare genetic disorder characterized by obesity, retinal degeneration, polydactyly, and renal abnormalities. These cell lines enable researchers to investigate the cellular and molecular pathways disrupted by the absence of the BBS12 protein, facilitating a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of BBS and its associated phenotypes.

The key functionality of BBS12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the inherent defects seen in BBS patients, allowing for detailed studies on gene expression, protein interactions, and the impact of therapeutic approaches. By comparing these knockout models to wild-type cells, researchers can elucidate how BBS12 influences cellular processes such as ciliary function, signaling pathways, and metabolic regulation. This not only sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of the disease but also aids in the identification of potential drug targets.

Scientifically, these cell lines are vital tools in both basic and translational research settings. They offer invaluable insight into the genetic and environmental factors influencing BBS, opening avenues for the development of gene therapies or pharmacological interventions aimed at mitigating the disorder's symptoms. Additionally, they can be utilized in high-throughput screening processes, expediting the discovery of novel therapeutic agents.

What sets our BBS12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other available models is their meticulously validated knockout efficiency and cell line stability, ensuring reproducible and reliable results. Moreover, they are produced in compliance with the highest standards of quality control and feature an easy-to-use growth protocol, making them accessible for various research expertise levels.

For researchers or clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of genetic disorders like BBS, our BBS12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cornerstone resource, bridging the gap between genetic research and clinical application. Our company prides itself on providing high-quality biological products, underpinned by extensive scientific expertise and a commitment to advancing the fields of genetics and molecular biology.
