CAPN1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CAPN1

Official Full Name: calpain 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, are nonlysosomal, intracellular cysteine proteases. The mammalian calpains include ubiquitous, stomach-specific, and muscle-specific proteins. The ubiquitous enzymes consist of heterodimers with distinct large, catalytic subunits associated with a common small, regulatory subunit. This gene encodes the large subunit of the ubiquitous enzyme, calpain 1. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Background

CAPN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are innovative biological products designed to facilitate in-depth research into the roles of the CAPN1 gene, which encodes for the calpain-1 protein. This protein is a calcium-dependent cysteine protease that plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and signal transduction. By knocking out the CAPN1 gene, researchers can isolate and study the functional consequences of calpain-1 loss, enriching our understanding of its contribution to cellular pathology and overall human health.

The primary mechanism underlying the utility of CAPN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the introduction of targeted mutations within the CAPN1 locus, effectively rendering the gene nonfunctional. This genetic alteration allows researchers to observe changes in cellular behavior, enabling delineation of pathways affected by calpain-1 activity. Such studies are invaluable for elucidating the gene's involvement in disease states such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, making these cell lines a cornerstone in functional genomics research.

CAPN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their high specificity and reliability compared to other methods such as siRNA or antisense oligonucleotide approaches, which can affect multiple genes and lead to off-target effects. Additionally, these cell lines are rigorously validated, ensuring consistent performance and reproducibility. Researchers and clinicians can derive robust conclusions from experiments using these knockout lines, ultimately advancing therapeutic approaches that target calpain-1.

The value of CAPN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies not only in their ability to enhance research outcomes but also in their potential to expedite drug discovery and development processes. By providing a clearer framework for understanding calpain-1's function, our product enables researchers and clinicians to develop precise interventions aimed at modulating this protease's activity.

Our company specializes in delivering high-quality genetic tools tailored to meet the evolving needs of the scientific community. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, we empower researchers to push the boundaries of biological sciences, ensuring impactful advancements in health and disease understanding.
