BIRC7 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: BIRC7

Official Full Name: baculoviral IAP repeat containing 7provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family, and contains a single copy of a baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) as well as a RING-type zinc finger domain. The BIR domain is essential for inhibitory activity and interacts with caspases, while the RING finger domain sometimes enhances antiapoptotic activity but does not inhibit apoptosis alone. Elevated levels of the encoded protein may be associated with cancer progression and play a role in chemotherapy sensitivity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Background

BIRC7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular platforms designed to facilitate the study of the BIRC7 gene, which encodes a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family. This gene has been implicated in the regulation of cell death pathways and cancer biology, making it an important target for research into therapies for various malignancies. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, BIRC7 gene knockout cell lines enable precise deletion of the BIRC7 gene, resulting in a model system that mimics the loss-of-function scenarios observed in cancers.

The primary mechanism of action involves the disruption of apoptotic signaling, which in normal cells is necessary for programmed cell death. By investigating these knockout cell lines, researchers can gain insights into how the absence of BIRC7 affects cellular responses to stressors, chemotherapeutic agents, and overall tumorigenesis. This knowledge is crucial for developing targeted therapies that can counteract the protective roles that IAPs play in promoting cancer cell survival.

Scientifically, these cell lines are significant as they provide a robust tool for drug discovery, allowing researchers to screen potential inhibitors of tumor growth and recovery pathways, and assess the role of BIRC7 in cellular resistance to treatment. Unlike commercially available alternatives, which may not precisely mimic the gene's functional landscape, our BIRC7 knockout cell lines offer validated models generating reproducible and reliable results.

The advantages of utilizing our BIRC7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lie not only in their specificity and reliability but also in their ease of use within various experimental designs—from high-throughput screening to mechanistic studies. This ensures that researchers have a powerful tool at their disposal for advancing our understanding of cancer biology and identifying novel therapeutic targets.

Our company is dedicated to providing high-quality, scientifically validated biological products tailored to the needs of researchers and clinicians. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, we offer a product that empowers experts in their quest for knowledge and effective solutions in the fight against cancer.
