Gene: CHRM3
Official Full Name: cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The muscarinic cholinergic receptors belong to a larger family of G protein-coupled receptors. The functional diversity of these receptors is defined by the binding of acetylcholine and includes cellular responses such as adenylate cyclase inhibition, phosphoinositide degeneration, and potassium channel mediation. Muscarinic receptors influence many effects of acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system. The muscarinic cholinergic receptor 3 controls smooth muscle contraction and its stimulation causes secretion of glandular tissue. Alternative promoter use and alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that have different tissue specificities. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

CHRM3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the expression of the CHRM3 gene, which encodes the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3. This receptor is critically involved in various physiological processes, including smooth muscle contraction, glandular secretion, and modulation of neurotransmission. By providing a model that entirely lacks CHRM3 activity, these cell lines allow researchers to investigate the role of this receptor in various biological systems and disease states.
The primary mechanism of CHRM3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, which enables precise deletions within the specific gene locus. This technique not only facilitates the functional analysis of CHRM3 but also allows for the study of receptor signaling pathways and their impact on cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. By using these knockout models, researchers gain insights into the receptor's contributions to pathophysiological conditions like asthma, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders where cholinergic signaling is relevant.
Scientifically, the CHRM3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for basic research and drug discovery, enabling high-throughput screening for potential therapeutic candidates that modulate M3 receptor activity. Researchers can validate hypotheses regarding receptor involvement in various diseases, study ligand-receptor interactions, and explore potential compensatory mechanisms that may arise from the loss of CHRM3 expression.
Compared to traditional models that may have residual receptor activity, the knockout nature of these cell lines ensures a definitive assessment of CHRM3 function and a clearer interpretation of experimental results. This specificity is one of the unique selling points that enhances the reliability and reproducibility of research findings.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the CHRM3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a robust tool for advancing knowledge in cholinergic pharmacology and translational medicine, ultimately benefiting therapeutic interventions targeting muscarinic signaling pathways.
