Gene: CDHR1
Official Full Name: cadherin related family member 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the cadherin superfamily of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules. The encoded protein is a photoreceptor-specific cadherin that plays a role in outer segment disc morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with inherited retinal dystrophies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

CDHR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to lack the expression of the CDHR1 gene, which encodes for the cadherin-related protein 1. This product provides researchers with a crucial tool to study the role of CDHR1 in cellular processes such as adhesion, signaling, and differentiation. The knockout of this gene allows for the precise investigation of its contributions to various biological functions and disease states, particularly in cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
The primary mechanism by which these knockout cell lines operate lies in the targeted deletion of the CDHR1 gene, utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or similar genome editing approaches. This results in a complete absence of CDHR1 protein expression, enabling researchers to evaluate the phenotypic consequences of its loss. By comparing these cell lines to wild-type counterparts, scientists can gain insight into the downstream signaling pathways affected by CDHR1, including those related to cell migration and proliferation.
In terms of scientific importance, CDHR1 knockout cell lines hold significant applications across both basic and translational research. They provide a powerful model for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying various pathologies where CDHR1 is implicated, thus advancing our understanding of disease etiology. Additionally, these cell lines are valuable in drug testing, allowing for the assessment of therapeutic strategies targeting adhesion-related pathways.
One of the key advantages of CDHR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their high specificity and reliability compared to alternative models, such as transient transfections or RNAi knockdowns, which may not achieve consistent gene silencing. Furthermore, the ability to maintain these lines in clonal populations provides enhanced reproducibility across experiments and reduces variability in results.
These knockout cell lines represent an invaluable asset for researchers and clinicians aiming to elucidate the comprehensive role of CDHR1 in health and disease. By harnessing the power of these targeted gene knockouts, users can translate their findings from the laboratory to the clinic more efficiently.
