Gene: CLSTN1
Official Full Name: calsyntenin 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the calsyntenin family, a subset of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded transmembrane protein, also known as alcadein-alpha, is thought to bind to kinesin-1 motors to mediate the axonal anterograde transport of certain types of vesicle. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is trafficked via these vesicles and so this protein is being investigated to see how it might contribute to the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

CLSTN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge biological tool designed for researchers engaged in cellular and molecular biology studies. These specialized cell lines have undergone targeted gene editing to remove the CLSTN1 gene, which encodes for the brain-specific protein Calsyntenin-1. By eliminating this gene, researchers can delve into various physiological and pathological processes, particularly those related to synaptic function, neurodevelopment, and neurodegeneration, thereby establishing a platform for innovative investigations that mirror relevant disease states.
The primary mechanism of the CLSTN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is based on CRISPR-Cas9 technology, a refined tool that enables precise genetic modifications. This knockout approach allows scientists to observe the resultant phenotypic changes, gaining insights into the gene's role in cellular signaling pathways and synaptic integrity. The ability to manipulate specific gene functions fosters deeper understanding of genetic contributions to neural networks and potential implications in conditions such as autism spectrum disorders and Alzheimer’s disease.
In scientific applications, these cell lines serve as invaluable models for both basic research and drug discovery, offering a controlled environment to assess the influence of CLSTN1 on cellular behavior and response to therapeutics. Notably, they enable high-throughput screening and provide a platform to test compounds targeting synaptic genes, supporting the development of targeted therapies.
Compared to traditional cell models, CLSTN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages such as enhanced specificity and reproducibility in experimental outcomes. Unlike models relying on transient transfections or siRNA, the stable knockout ensures that gene silencing is effective and enduring, resulting in more reliable data.
Researchers and clinicians will find immense value in these cell lines for advancing their work, especially in understanding the genetic underpinnings of neurological conditions.
