Gene: CLCN3
Official Full Name: chloride voltage-gated channel 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the voltage-gated chloride channel (ClC) family. The encoded protein is present in all cell types and localized in plasma membranes and in intracellular vesicles. It is a multi-pass membrane protein which contains a ClC domain and two additional C-terminal CBS (cystathionine beta-synthase) domains. The ClC domain catalyzes the selective flow of Cl- ions across cell membranes, and the CBS domain may have a regulatory function. This protein plays a role in both acidification and transmitter loading of GABAergic synaptic vesicles, and in smooth muscle cell activation and neointima formation. This protein is required for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-activated Cl- current activity and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation. The protein activity is regulated by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in glioma cells. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

CLCN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell culture models created through the targeted deletion of the CLCN3 gene, which encodes for a chloride channel critical for maintaining cellular ion homeostasis and volume regulation. These cell lines serve as an invaluable tool for researchers studying the physiological and pathological roles of chloride channels within diverse biological contexts.
The primary function of the CLCN3 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate research into chloride ion transport mechanisms and their implications in various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiac pathologies, and certain metabolic syndromes. By removing the gene responsible for the CLCN3 chloride channel, these cell lines enable scientists to assess the direct effects of CLCN3 loss on cellular behavior, ion transport activities, and overall cell viability. Mechanistically, the absence of CLCN3 disrupts the delicate balance of anions across the plasma membrane, providing a clear view of the ion channel's impact on cellular signaling and homeostasis.
In terms of scientific importance, these knockout cell lines have widespread applications in both fundamental and translational research. From elucidating the pathophysiology of various diseases to evaluating new therapeutic strategies and drug responses, CLCN3 knockout cell lines enable comprehensive investigations that are pivotal in advancing our understanding of chloride channel functions in health and disease.
Compared to alternative models, CLCN3 knockout cell lines offer distinct advantages, including precise gene editing, the ability to compare phenotypic variations directly against wild-type controls, and established protocols for their use in experimental setups. Their specificity allows for targeted studies that minimize background variables, enhancing the reliability of scientific findings.
For researchers and clinicians, the utility of CLCN3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is significant. They provide an innovative avenue to explore the role of chloride channels in disease mechanisms and drive the development of new therapeutic approaches. By harnessing the insights gained from these models, professionals can contribute notable advancements in biomedical research and clinical practices.
