CNR1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CNR1

Official Full Name: cannabinoid receptor 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of two cannabinoid receptors. The cannabinoids, principally delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and synthetic analogs, are psychoactive ingredients of marijuana. The cannabinoid receptors are members of the guanine-nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) coupled receptor family, which inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in a dose-dependent, stereoselective and pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. The two receptors have been found to be involved in the cannabinoid-induced CNS effects (including alterations in mood and cognition) experienced by users of marijuana. Multiple transcript variants encoding two different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]

Background

CNR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to study the role of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) gene in physiological and pathological processes. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of the CNR1 gene, allowing researchers to explore the receptor's contribution to various signaling pathways and its implications in disorders such as obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, and substance use disorders.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to facilitate the examination of cannabinoid receptor signaling in the absence of CNR1. This is critical for elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which endocannabinoids influence a myriad of biological functions, including neuroprotection, pain regulation, and metabolic processes. Researchers can perform comparative studies between the knockout cells and wild-type controls, providing insights into receptor dynamics and potential therapeutic targets for drug development.

The scientific significance of CNR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic and preclinical research settings. These models enable the investigation of CNR1's involvement in cellular responses, drug interactions, and behavioral assessments, thus fostering advancements in cannabinoid research and therapeutics. Moreover, they serve as valuable tools for screening novel compounds that specifically modulate cannabinoid signaling, supporting the development of targeted interventions.

Compared to traditional cell lines that may still express CNR1, these knockout models offer a distinct advantage of specificity and reliability. This precision eliminates confounding variables related to receptor activity, allowing for clearer interpretations of experimental data. Additionally, our cell lines come with rigorous validation of the knockout efficiency and characterizations of phenotypic changes, ensuring researchers are working with robust models.

The value of CNR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is paramount for researchers and clinicians seeking to push the boundaries of cannabinoid science. By providing these targeted models, we enable a deeper understanding of cannabinoid signaling and its therapeutic potential, thereby enhancing the translational impact of research findings.

At our company, we pride ourselves on our dedication to advancing scientific research through cutting-edge biological products.
