CACNA1G Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CACNA1G

Official Full Name: calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 Gprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Voltage-sensitive calcium channels mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells, and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division, and cell death. This gene encodes a T-type, low-voltage activated calcium channel. The T-type channels generate currents that are both transient, owing to fast inactivation, and tiny, owing to small conductance. T-type channels are thought to be involved in pacemaker activity, low-threshold calcium spikes, neuronal oscillations and resonance, and rebound burst firing. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Background

CACNA1G Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that exhibit a targeted disruption of the CACNA1G gene, which encodes a subunit of the T-type calcium channels. These essential ion channels play a critical role in various physiological processes, including neuronal excitability, muscle contraction, and cardiac function. The knockout of CACNA1G effectively halts the production of this subunit, allowing researchers to investigate the resultant cellular phenotypes and the gene's role in health and disease.

Key functions of these cell lines include the study of calcium ion influx and its implications in signaling pathways, the exploration of T-type calcium channels in pathophysiological conditions such as epilepsy and pain syndromes, and their involvement in cancer biology. Researchers utilize these models for functional assays to delineate the effects of impaired calcium signaling on cellular behaviors, which can lead to valuable insights into therapeutic targets.

The scientific significance of CACNA1G Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications across research disciplines, particularly in the fields of neurobiology, oncology, and cardiovascular disease. They provide a robust platform to study channelopathies and to assess the efficacy of novel pharmacological interventions targeting calcium channels.

Unlike traditional cell lines, these knockout models offer a more precise approach to investigating the contributions of CACNA1G to cellular functions without the interference of functional alleles, ensuring more accurate experimental outcomes. The ability to study these pathways in a controlled environment enhances reproducibility and reliability, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and clinicians.

Investing in CACNA1G Gene Knockout Cell Lines equips laboratories with the advanced tools needed to push the boundaries of understanding in calcium channel research. Our company is committed to facilitating groundbreaking research by providing high-quality biological products designed with precision and expertise, ensuring that scientists can achieve their research goals efficiently and effectively.
