CHD8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CHD8

Official Full Name: chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding protein family, which is characterized by a SNF2-like domain and two chromatin organization modifier domains. The encoded protein also contains brahma and kismet domains, which are common to the subfamily of chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding proteins to which this protein belongs. This gene has been shown to function in several processes that include transcriptional regulation, epigenetic remodeling, promotion of cell proliferation, and regulation of RNA synthesis. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Background

CHD8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to study the role of the CHD8 gene in various biological processes and pathophysiological conditions, particularly those associated with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. The CHD8 gene encodes a chromatin remodeler that plays a critical role in gene expression regulation, making it pivotal in cellular differentiation and development. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of the CHD8 gene, enabling researchers to dissect the gene’s functions and the biological pathways it influences.

The primary mechanism of action of CHD8 involves its role in chromatin remodeling, thereby regulating the accessibility of DNA for transcription. In the context of cellular studies, the CHD8 knockout cell lines enable researchers to understand the gene's impact on cellular behaviors, such as proliferation, migration, and apoptotic processes. As a result, these models are invaluable for neurobiological research and in studying the molecular mechanisms underlying disorders associated with CHD8 mutations.

From a scientific perspective, the applications of these cell lines extend beyond basic research; they offer a crucial platform for drug discovery, development of therapeutic strategies, and elucidation of genetic contributions to diseases. Compared to traditional cell lines or animal models, CHD8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide unparalleled specificity in studying gene function and related pathologies, minimizing confounding factors often present in less-targeted approaches.

The key advantages of our CHD8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lie in their enhanced reproducibility and the detailed insight they offer regarding gene function that should attract both researchers and clinicians. These unique selling points, coupled with our commitment to high-quality biological products, make this offering a critical addition to any laboratory focused on genetic research or therapeutic development. Our company prides itself on excellence in precision genetic engineering, ensuring that researchers are equipped with robust tools that accelerate scientific discovery and improve clinical outcomes.
