COL13A1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: COL13A1

Official Full Name: collagen type XIII alpha 1 chainprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the alpha chain of one of the nonfibrillar collagens. The function of this gene product is not known, however, it has been detected at low levels in all connective tissue-producing cells so it may serve a general function in connective tissues. Unlike most of the collagens, which are secreted into the extracellular matrix, collagen XIII contains a transmembrane domain and the protein has been localized to the plasma membrane. The transcripts for this gene undergo complex and extensive splicing involving at least eight exons. Like other collagens, collagen XIII is a trimer; it is not known whether this trimer is composed of one or more than one alpha chain isomer. A number of alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but the full length nature of some of them has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

COL13A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are expertly engineered cellular models in which the collagen XIII alpha 1 (COL13A1) gene has been inactivated, providing a powerful tool for studying the biological implications of this specific gene disruption. Collagen XIII plays a significant role in the extracellular matrix, contributing to tissue integrity and cellular signaling pathways. These knockout cell lines are essential for elucidating the gene's functions and its impact on cellular behavior, including adhesion, migration, and differentiation.

The mechanism underlying the knockout is achieved through advanced gene editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, which allows for precise alterations within the genome. This results in the absence of COL13A1 protein expression, enabling researchers to investigate the associated biological processes and phenotypic changes that occur in its absence. The implications of studying COL13A1 are far-reaching, particularly in understanding various pathological conditions, including fibrosis, skin disorders, and other connective tissue diseases.

One of the key advantages of using our COL13A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines rests in their specificity and reproducibility, compared to other methods like RNA interference or chemical inhibitors. These cell lines allow for the direct observation of genetic contribution to various cellular roles without the ambiguity introduced by off-target effects. Furthermore, our product is validated for consistency, ensuring that researchers can rely on robust and reproducible results across experiments.

For researchers and clinicians, the ability to access these knockout cell lines translates into a significant opportunity to deepen their understanding of collagen-related pathways and their implications in health and disease. With the increasing importance of personalized medicine and targeted therapies, these models provide foundational insights that can lead to novel therapeutic strategies.
