CASP12 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CASP12

Official Full Name: caspase 12 (gene/pseudogene)provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Caspases are cysteine proteases that cleave C-terminal aspartic acid residues on their substrate molecules. This gene is most highly related to members of the ICE subfamily of caspases that process inflammatory cytokines. In rodents, the homolog of this gene mediates apoptosis in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, in humans this gene contains a polymorphism for the presence or absence of a premature stop codon. The majority of human individuals have the premature stop codon and produce a truncated non-functional protein. The read-through codon occurs primarily in individuals of African descent and carriers have endotoxin hypo-responsiveness and an increased susceptibility to severe sepsis. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Background

CASP12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models designed for the specific disruption of the CASP12 gene, a crucial component of the apoptosis (programmed cell death) pathway. These cell lines facilitate the study of apoptosis regulation and its implications in various physiological and pathological contexts, including cellular responses to stress, inflammation, and disease progression.

The key functionality of CASP12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to lack the CASP12 gene, which encodes for caspase-12, an enzyme involved in the activation of inflammatory responses and the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. By eliminating this gene, researchers can investigate the consequences of CASP12 absence on cell survival, inflammatory signaling, and overall cellular behavior during stress conditions, effectively serving as a powerful tool for elucidating the role of caspases in disease mechanisms.

Scientifically, these cell lines are invaluable in research applications concerning autoimmune diseases, neurodegeneration, and cancer biology. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of apoptosis and inflammation through CASP12 knockout models aids in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, by utilizing these cell lines, researchers can better appreciate how dysregulation of apoptotic pathways contributes to a range of pathologies, thus informing the design of targeted interventions.

Unlike other genetic models or caspase inhibitors, CASP12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more precise and comprehensive insight into the consequences of gene loss. They offer unique advantages such as consistent genetic background, reproducibility in experimental setups, and compatibility with high-throughput screening formats.

For researchers and clinicians, investing in CASP12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represents a fundamental step toward advancing our understanding of cell biology and its application in therapeutic development. With our company’s commitment to providing high-quality biological products and extensive expertise in genetic engineering, we ensure that these cell lines are not only robust in performance but also pivotal in driving innovative research forward.
