CAPNS1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CAPNS1

Official Full Name: calpain small subunit 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the calpain small subunit family. Calpains are calcium-dependent cysteine proteinases that are widely distributed in mammalian cells. Calpains operate as heterodimers, comprising a specific large catalytic subunit (calpain 1 subunit in Calpain I, and calpain 2 subunit in Calpain II), and a common small regulatory subunit encoded by this gene. This encoded protein is essential for the stability and function of both calpain heterodimers, whose proteolytic activities influence various cellular functions including apoptosis, proliferation, migration, adhesion, and autophagy. Calpains have been implicated in neurodegenerative processes, such as myotonic dystrophy. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

Background

CAPNS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to investigate the functional role of the CAPNS1 gene, which encodes the calcium-activated neutral protease, calpain. These cell lines have undergone targeted gene editing, using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology to create a deletion in the CAPNS1 gene, effectively silencing its expression. This enables researchers to study the downstream effects of CAPNS1 loss, providing insights into cellular processes such as apoptosis, inflammation, and protein turnover that are modulated by calpain activity.

The mechanism of action of CAPNS1 revolves around its role as a key player in calcium-dependent signal transduction pathways. By creating knockout models, researchers can elucidate the specific contributions of CAPNS1 to cellular responses, aiding in the comprehension of pathological conditions where calpain activity is dysregulated, such as in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and certain cancers.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is profound, as they serve as valuable tools for both basic and translational research. In clinical settings, they offer a platform for testing potential therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring normal calpain function or inhibiting its activity in disease contexts.

Compared to alternative methods such as pharmacological inhibition or overexpression systems, CAPNS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more precise and stable model to dissect the biological implications of gene loss. Their use minimizes off-target effects and allows for consistent, reproducible results that can enhance the reliability of experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians, the ability to study gene function in a controlled environment bolsters the development of targeted therapies and elucidates disease mechanisms. Moreover, leveraging our extensive expertise in gene editing and cellular biology, we offer comprehensive support and resources to maximize your research outcomes, ensuring that our CAPNS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an indispensable asset in your investigative toolkit.
