CDK5RAP2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CDK5RAP2

Official Full Name: CDK5 regulatory subunit associated protein 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a regulator of CDK5 (cyclin-dependent kinase 5) activity. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the centrosome and Golgi complex, interacts with CDK5R1 and pericentrin (PCNT), plays a role in centriole engagement and microtubule nucleation, and has been linked to primary microcephaly and Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Background

CDK5RAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the CDK5RAP2 gene has been functionally disrupted, resulting in a loss of its protein product's expression. This gene is critically involved in cell cycle regulation and the proper functioning of microtubules, making it essential for maintaining normal cellular processes, especially during neuronal development. The knockout of CDK5RAP2 is a valuable method to investigate its role in cellular mechanisms and disease pathways, particularly those related to neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer.

The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to elucidate the biological pathways influenced by CDK5RAP2. In normal physiological conditions, CDK5RAP2 acts as a regulatory component of the cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) signaling pathway, contributing to neuronal cell cycle exit and microtubule stabilization. By using these knockout models, researchers can better understand the implications of CDK5RAP2 disruption on neuronal morphology, microtubule dynamics, and overall cell fate decisions.

The scientific significance of CDK5RAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is particularly pronounced in research settings focused on neurodevelopmental disorders, where aberrations in microtubule organization and cell cycle regulation are often implicated. Additionally, these lines serve as crucial tools in drug discovery and therapeutic testing, allowing for the screening of potential treatments targeting CDK5RAP2-related pathways.

Compared to alternative models, the specificity of the CDK5RAP2 gene knockout provides a more precise understanding of its biological functions without the confounding effects often observed in partial knockdowns or overexpression systems. This specificity enhances the reproducibility and reliability of experimental outcomes, thus increasing confidence in the translational potential of related findings.

For researchers and clinicians alike, CDK5RAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an invaluable resource, enabling in-depth exploration of CDK5RAP2’s role in health and disease. Their application in preclinical studies can lead to significant advancements in understanding disorder mechanisms and developing targeted therapies.
