Gene: CD81
Official Full Name: CD81 moleculeprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. This protein appears to promote muscle cell fusion and support myotube maintenance. Also it may be involved in signal transduction. This gene is localized in the tumor-suppressor gene region and thus it is a candidate gene for malignancies. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

CD81 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models where the CD81 gene, a critical component of the tetraspanin family of proteins, has been inactivated or deleted. CD81 plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell signaling, adhesion, and immune response modulation. These cell lines serve as essential tools for studying the functional implications of CD81 deficiency in various experimental contexts, such as cancer biology, virology, and immunology.
The mechanism of action involves CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology that precisely targets and disrupts the CD81 gene within the genome of the host cells. This targeted knockout efficiently eliminates the expression of CD81 protein, allowing researchers to observe the consequent alterations in cellular behavior and signaling pathways. Understanding these changes can elucidate the role of CD81 in viral entry, particularly in the context of hepatitis C and other pathogens, as well as its involvement in the regulation of immune cell interactions.
In research and clinical settings, CD81 Gene Knockout Cell Lines have significant implications. They can be utilized to identify potential therapeutic targets, investigate the mechanisms underlying CD81-related diseases, and aid in drug development by providing a model to assess the efficacy of new compounds. These cell lines are invaluable for high-throughput screening assays, helping to streamline the research process and reduce time to discovery.
What sets our CD81 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart is their robust validation, consistent performance, and the ease of use in various experimental setups. Unlike other models, these cell lines are tailored for reproducibility and can be conveniently integrated into existing workflows, providing superior reliability and accuracy in experimental results.
