CEP290 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CEP290

Official Full Name: centrosomal protein 290provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with 13 putative coiled-coil domains, a region with homology to SMC chromosome segregation ATPases, six KID motifs, three tropomyosin homology domains and an ATP/GTP binding site motif A. The protein is localized to the centrosome and cilia and has sites for N-glycosylation, tyrosine sulfation, phosphorylation, N-myristoylation, and amidation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Joubert syndrome and nephronophthisis and the presence of antibodies against this protein is associated with several forms of cancer.

Background

CEP290 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered for the study of the CEP290 gene, which has been implicated in a variety of genetic disorders, particularly those affecting vision such as Leber congenital amaurosis and other retinal dystrophies. These cell lines have been meticulously designed using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to create specific deletions or mutations, allowing researchers to investigate the functional consequences of the absence of the CEP290 protein. This knockout approach provides invaluable insights into the gene's role in cellular pathways, particularly those related to ciliary function and photoreceptor development.

The key mechanism by which these cell lines operate is through the complete disruption of the CEP290 gene, thus allowing for the analysis of downstream effects on cellular morphology, signaling pathways, and the overall viability of photoreceptors. This enables scientists to create comprehensive models that mimic the pathophysiology of related disorders, paving the way for the identification of potential therapeutic strategies and interventions.

The scientific importance of CEP290 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into both research and clinical applications. They serve as powerful tools in genetic research, facilitating the exploration of gene function, pathology of related diseases, and the effectiveness of gene therapies. Furthermore, their utility in drug screening assays helps in determining the efficacy of pharmacological agents aimed at ameliorating symptoms of CEP290-related conditions.

What sets our CEP290 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is the precision of the gene editing, which ensures a complete knockout without off-target effects. Additionally, our cell lines are validated for consistent performance in long-term culture, making them reliable for longitudinal studies. Researchers and clinicians can thus expect reproducible data that is crucial for advancing their investigations or clinical translations.

Investing in CEP290 Gene Knockout Cell Lines not only enhances any research portfolio but also showcases a commitment to understanding and combating important genetic disorders. With our extensive expertise in cellular models and rigorous product development processes, we proudly offer cutting-edge products that cater to the evolving needs of the scientific community.
