CAPN3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CAPN3

Official Full Name: calpain 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CAPN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in the study of muscular dystrophies, specifically focusing on calpain-3, a protein implicated in muscle biology and pathology. These genetically modified cell lines are engineered to lack the CAPN3 gene, which encodes for the calpain-3 protein, allowing researchers to investigate the precise role of this protein in muscle development and maintenance. By using CRISPR-Cas9 technology or similar genome editing methods, these cell lines provide a robust model for dissecting the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying calpain-3's functions.

The key function of CAPN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the examination of muscle cell processes, including differentiation, regeneration, and apoptosis, without the influence of calpain-3. Through this knockout approach, researchers can assess alterations in cellular signaling pathways, gene expression profiles, and muscle fiber integrity, contributing valuable insights into muscle-related diseases such as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends into both research and clinical settings, serving as valuable tools for understanding muscle degeneration mechanisms and testing potential therapeutic interventions. They can be used in drug screening, gene therapy development, and regenerative medicine, making them an essential resource for both academic and industrial researchers.

Compared to traditional muscle cell models, CAPN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide unique advantages, including the elimination of confounding variables associated with intact calpain-3, enhanced fidelity in mimicking disease states, and the potential for custom modifications to suit specific research questions. This specificity drives more effective investigations into the biology of muscle diseases.

For researchers and clinicians focused on muscle biology, the CAPN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unparalleled insights into calpain-3's role and the pathophysiology of related disorders, thus holding great promise for advancing therapeutic strategies. Our company is dedicated to providing high-quality biological products, and our expertise in genetic engineering ensures that our CAPN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines meet the highest standards of reliability and efficacy, supporting your groundbreaking research for years to come.
