CLCN7 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CLCN7

Official Full Name: chloride voltage-gated channel 7provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The product of this gene belongs to the CLC chloride channel family of proteins. Chloride channels play important roles in the plasma membrane and in intracellular organelles. This gene encodes chloride channel 7. Defects in this gene are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 4 (OPTB4), also called infantile malignant osteopetrosis type 2 as well as the cause of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 (OPTA2), also called autosomal dominant Albers-Schonberg disease or marble disease autosoml dominant. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. OPTA2 is the most common form of osteopetrosis, occurring in adolescence or adulthood. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CLCN7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to contain deletions in the CLCN7 gene, which encodes the chloride channel ClC-7, a key component in the acidification of intracellular compartments. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for understanding the biological functions of CLCN7 and its role in various physiological processes, particularly in bone resorption and neuronal activity. The knockout mechanism leverages CRISPR-Cas9 technology, enabling precise gene editing that creates loss-of-function models to study the effects of ClC-7 deficiency.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to facilitate research on the pathophysiological consequences associated with disrupted chloride ion transport. By simulating conditions of CLCN7 deficiency, researchers can investigate the molecular pathways influenced by this gene, leading to a deeper understanding of metabolic bone diseases like osteopetrosis and potential neurodegenerative disorders. The ability to manipulate these cell lines allows for thorough investigation of cellular responses to various treatments or interventions, fostering advancements in gene therapy and regenerative medicine.

Compared to alternative models, CLCN7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unparalleled specificity and consistency, being built upon well-characterized genetic modifications. Unlike other approaches that may produce heterogeneous results, these knockout lines provide a uniform platform for researchers aiming to delineate the role of CLCN7 more precisely.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of these cell lines lies in their potential to elucidate the physiological and pathological roles of CLCN7, thereby accelerating the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies. The insights gained can contribute significantly to targeted interventions in diseases linked to chloride channel malfunction.
