CACNA2D1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CACNA2D1

Official Full Name: calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The preproprotein encoded by this gene is cleaved into multiple chains that comprise the alpha-2 and delta subunits of the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization. Mutations in this gene can cause cardiac deficiencies, including Brugada syndrome and short QT syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants, some of which may lack the delta subunit portion. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

Background

CACNA2D1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models that have been specifically altered to disrupt the expression of the CACNA2D1 gene, which encodes the alpha-2/delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels. By creating these knockout models, researchers can investigate the physiological and pathological roles of this gene in a controlled environment, facilitating enhanced understanding of calcium signaling in various biological processes.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic diseases or conditions associated with dysregulated calcium ion homeostasis, including certain neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and muscular pathologies. By eliminating the CACNA2D1 gene, researchers can analyze the resultant changes in cellular behaviors, signaling pathways, and phenotypic characteristics, providing valuable insights into the gene's contribution to health and disease states.

In scientific research and clinical applications, CACNA2D1 knockout cell lines serve as critical tools for drug discovery, toxicity testing, and the development of therapeutic strategies targeting calcium channels. Their availability allows researchers to accelerate the identification of novel therapeutic targets and to validate the effectiveness of potential drugs in modulating calcium influx and related cellular responses.

Compared to traditional cell lines that express CACNA2D1, these knockout models offer a unique opportunity to study the direct effects of gene loss and assess the potential compensatory mechanisms that may arise. This essential aspect supports more precise experimentation and cleaner data interpretation, ultimately leading to more reliable research outcomes.

The value of CACNA2D1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond basic research; they empower innovators and clinicians by providing robust platforms for preclinical studies and advancing our understanding of calcium channelopathies. Our company specializes in delivering high-quality genetic models supported by extensive molecular profiling, ensuring you have the necessary resources to propel your research forward with confidence.
