Gene: CDH4
Official Full Name: cadherin 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Based on studies in chicken and mouse, this cadherin is thought to play an important role during brain segmentation and neuronal outgrowth. In addition, a role in kidney and muscle development is indicated. Of particular interest are studies showing stable cis-heterodimers of cadherins 2 and 4 in cotransfected cell lines. Previously thought to interact in an exclusively homophilic manner, this is the first evidence of cadherin heterodimerization. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

CDH4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered models created to specifically disrupt the cadherin 4 (CDH4) gene, which encodes a member of the cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules. These cell lines are designed to study the role of CDH4 in various biological processes, including cellular signaling, tissue development, and cell-cell adhesion. By knocking out the CDH4 gene, researchers can investigate the resulting phenotypic changes and the potential implications for cancer progression, neural development, and other disease states where cell adhesion is crucial.
The key mechanism of action for these knockout cell lines is through targeted gene editing techniques, often utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or RNA interference, which facilitate precise modifications in the cell’s genetic material. The disruption of CDH4 expression provides insights into the gene’s contribution to cellular functions, as well as its interaction with other signaling pathways. This understanding is vital for elucidating the molecular underpinnings of various pathologies, particularly in oncology and developmental biology.
In research and clinical applications, CDH4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as invaluable tools for screening potential drug targets, understanding disease mechanisms, and developing novel therapeutics. Scientists can utilize these models for high-throughput screening, allowing for rapid identification of compounds that may restore functional cell adhesion or inhibit tumorigenesis. Compared to non-specific or wild-type cell lines, these knockout models offer a higher degree of specificity and relevance when studying the effects of CDH4 deficiency, making them indispensable in precision medicine contexts.
