Gene: CACNB1
Official Full Name: calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit beta 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the calcium channel beta subunit family. It plays an important role in the calcium channel by modulating G protein inhibition, increasing peak calcium current, controlling the alpha-1 subunit membrane targeting and shifting the voltage dependence of activation and inactivation. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three transcript variants encoding three distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

CACNB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that have had the CACNB1 gene inactivated to facilitate extensive investigations into the functions and implications of calcium channel beta subunits in various physiological and pathological processes. The CACNB1 gene encodes a critical component of voltage-gated calcium channels, which are essential for calcium ion influx, influencing a multitude of cellular activities including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and gene expression. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively study the resultant phenotypic changes, including altered cellular signaling pathways and metabolic responses associated with disrupted calcium homeostasis.
The primary function of the CACNB1 knockout cell lines is to serve as a controlled platform for examining the role of calcium signaling in diseases such as cardiac arrhythmias, neurological disorders, and certain cancers. The knockout methodology allows for precise delineation of the gene's contributions to cellular function, enabling high-throughput screening of pharmacological agents, investigation of gene-environment interactions, and exploration of genetic compensatory mechanisms.
One of the key advantages of using CACNB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the specificity of the gene inactivation, which allows researchers not only to confirm the role of CACNB1 in various cellular contexts but also to differentiate its effects from those of other calcium channel subunits. Compared to traditional methods such as siRNA knockdown, these knockout models provide a more stable and long-term analysis of genetic function without the variability often associated with transient expression or non-specific targeting.
Utilizing these cell lines can greatly benefit researchers and clinicians engaged in translational studies, as they provide a robust model for understanding disease mechanisms and testing therapeutic strategies. The capability to examine gene functions with a focus on calcium signaling pathways underscores the potential for developing novel treatment frameworks and personalized medicine approaches in clinical settings.
