CENPB Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CENPB

Official Full Name: centromere protein Bprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene product is a highly conserved protein that facilitates centromere formation. It is a DNA-binding protein that is derived from transposases of the pogo DNA transposon family. It contains a helix-loop-helix DNA binding motif at the N-terminus, and a dimerization domain at the C-terminus. The DNA binding domain recognizes and binds a 17-bp sequence (CENP-B box) in the centromeric alpha satellite DNA. This protein is proposed to play an important role in the assembly of specific centromere structures in interphase nuclei and on mitotic chromosomes. It is also considered a major centromere autoantigen recognized by sera from patients with anti-centromere antibodies. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CENPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to study the function and role of the CENPB gene, which encodes a protein crucial for centromere function and chromosome segregation during cell division. These cell lines have been created using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology to disrupt the CENPB gene, allowing researchers to investigate the physiological implications of its absence.

The primary function of the CENPB gene is to encode a centromere protein involved in the formation of the kinetochore, which is essential for the proper attachment of spindle fibers during mitosis. By utilizing CENPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can dissect the molecular pathways affected by CENPB deficiency, including those involved in cell cycle regulation and genomic stability. Understanding these mechanisms is critical, as defects in centromere function can lead to aneuploidy and cancer.

In terms of scientific importance, these knockout cell lines are invaluable tools for researchers in oncology, cell biology, and genetics. They offer a robust model for studying disease mechanisms linked to centromeric instability and can aid in the development of targeted therapies that address cancers characterized by chromosomal abnormalities.

Compared to other genetic models, these CENPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a precise and efficient means of investigating gene function without the confounding effects often seen in whole-organism models. Their design allows for high reproducibility and more straightforward manipulations in laboratory settings, making them highly desirable for experimental research.

This product holds immense value for researchers and clinicians alike, providing a direct approach to uncovering the complexities of centromere biology. The specific insights gained could lead to advancements in therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting malignancies with underlying chromosomal fractures.

Our company excels in the development of specialized genetic tools, ensuring that our products are of the highest quality, rigorously validated, and supported by comprehensive documentation to foster successful research outcomes.
