Gene: CACNG4
Official Full Name: calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP). TARPs regulate both trafficking and channel gating of the AMPA receptors. This gene is part of a functionally diverse eight-member protein subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family and is located in a cluster with two family members, a type II TARP and a calcium channel gamma subunit.

CACNG4 gene knockout cell lines are genetically engineered cell lines wherein the CACNG4 gene has been disrupted or inactivated. This product serves as a critical tool for researchers investigating the functional role of the CACNG4 gene in various physiological and pathological processes. The CACNG4 gene encodes a subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, which are essential for numerous cellular functions, including neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, and synaptic plasticity.
The primary function of CACNG4 gene knockout cell lines is to facilitate the study of the gene’s role in calcium signaling pathways and its impact on cellular behavior. By utilizing these cell lines, researchers can elucidate the downstream effects of CACNG4 loss on calcium influx and related signaling cascades, providing insights into disease mechanisms involving altered calcium homeostasis, such as certain neurodegenerative disorders and cardiac arrhythmias.
In terms of scientific importance, these knockout cell lines are invaluable for drug discovery and development, as they provide a controlled system to assess the effects of pharmacological agents targeting calcium signaling. Additionally, they can be utilized in genetic studies to explore compensatory mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets, thereby enhancing our understanding of complex biological systems.
Choosing CACNG4 gene knockout cell lines over other available models offers several advantages. They provide a more specific approach to studying the gene’s functions compared to non-targeted approaches, minimizing off-target effects and supporting clearer interpretation of experimental results. Furthermore, the significant reduction in variability enhances reproducibility, which is essential for publishing high-quality research findings.
For researchers and clinicians, the ability to efficiently manipulate and analyze the effects of specific gene disruptions is invaluable. This product allows for a more nuanced exploration of cellular mechanisms, advancing knowledge in the fields of molecular biology, pharmacology, and clinical research.
