CASP10 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CASP10

Official Full Name: caspase 10provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein cleaves and activates caspases 3 and 7, and the protein itself is processed by caspase 8. Mutations in this gene are associated with type IIA autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and gastric cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]

Background

CASP10 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to facilitate the study of CASP10 gene function and its role in apoptosis and cellular signaling pathways. These cell lines exhibit a complete genetic inactivation of the CASP10 gene, which encodes a critical cysteine protease involved in programmed cell death. By eliminating this essential gene, researchers can investigate the downstream effects of CASP10 deficiency, particularly its implications in cancer biology and therapeutic resistance.

The key mechanisms through which CASP10 Gene Knockout Cell Lines operate include the disruption of intrinsic apoptosis pathways, ultimately affecting cell survival and proliferation. Absence of CASP10 leads to altered cellular responses to stress stimuli, giving insight into the molecular mechanisms governing apoptosis. As apoptosis plays a significant role in tissue homeostasis, modulation of these pathways through CASP10 can aid in understanding various disease states, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and autoimmune disorders.

Scientifically, these knockout models are invaluable in research and clinical settings. They provide a platform to screen for drug responses, evaluate potential therapeutic interventions, and explore gene-gene interactions. The data derived from these cell lines are pivotal for translational studies aimed at developing new cancer therapies or unraveling complex disease mechanisms.

The advantages of our CASP10 Gene Knockout Cell Lines compared to alternative models include their rigorous validation through CRISPR/Cas9 technology, ensuring precise gene editing and complete loss of function. This level of specificity provides researchers with confident data and reproducibility, crucial for experimental integrity.

Moreover, the versatility of these cell lines accommodates the exploration of various cellular contexts, making them compatible with a broad range of assays, including high-throughput screening and genetic profiling. For researchers or clinicians focused on understanding the intricacies of apoptosis and its therapeutic implications, these knockout cell lines offer a powerful tool to enhance the quality and breadth of their findings.
