CALD1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CALD1

Official Full Name: caldesmon 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a calmodulin- and actin-binding protein that plays an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction. The conserved domain of this protein possesses the binding activities to Ca(2+)-calmodulin, actin, tropomyosin, myosin, and phospholipids. This protein is a potent inhibitor of the actin-tropomyosin activated myosin MgATPase, and serves as a mediating factor for Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of smooth muscle contraction. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CALD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that lack the expression of the CALD1 gene, which encodes for caldesmon, a key actin-binding protein involved in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction and cytoskeletal dynamics. These cell lines serve as a powerful tool for investigating the functions of the CALD1 gene and its role in various biological processes. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, researchers can create precise deletions or mutations in the CALD1 gene, thereby providing insights into its contributions to cellular behavior, motility, and signal transduction.

The primary mechanism behind these knockout cell lines involves the disruption of CALD1 gene expression, which enables the study of phenotypic changes associated with its absence. This is critical for research in muscle physiology, cancer biology, and cellular mechanics, as CALD1 is implicated in numerous pathophysiological conditions. In clinical settings, understanding CALD1 functions can aid in developing therapeutic strategies for diseases linked to smooth muscle dysfunction or tumor metastasis.

What sets CALD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional knockout models is their versatility and the precision of gene modification. Unlike conventional methods, CRISPR technology allows for rapid and efficient generation of knockout lines with high specificity and minimal off-target effects. This ensures that researchers can focus on the biological relevance of the CALD1 gene without the confounding influences of unintended mutations.

For researchers and clinicians alike, CALD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for deciphering mechanistic pathways and validating drug targets. Their application promotes a deeper understanding of the molecular underpinnings of disease, fostering innovations in therapeutic interventions.
