COL22A1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: COL22A1

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

Gene Summary: This gene encodes member of the collagen family which is thought to contribute to the stabilization of myotendinous junctions and strengthen skeletal muscle attachments during contractile activity. It belongs to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helix (FACIT) subset of the collagen superfamily, which associate with collagen fibers through their C-terminal collagenous domains and mediate protein-protein interactions through their N-terminal noncollagenous domains. The encoded protein is deposited in the basement membrane zone of the myotendinous junction which is present only at the tissue junctions of muscles, tendons, the heart, articular cartilage, and skin. A knockdown of the orthologous zebrafish gene induces a muscular dystrophy by disruption of the myotendinous junction. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

Background

COL22A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have had the COL22A1 gene functionally disrupted, allowing for the in-depth study of this particular gene's role in various biological processes. The COL22A1 gene encodes collagen type XXII, a component implicated in structural stability and development of various tissues, including cartilage and bone. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or other targeted genome editing methods, these knockout cell lines provide a precise model to examine the phenotypic consequences of COL22A1 loss, facilitating insights into its involvement in diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta and various connective tissue disorders.

The key function of COL22A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic genetic conditions by lacking the specific gene, thus offering researchers a platform to investigate the pathways involved in collagen synthesis, deposition, and overall extracellular matrix behavior. These cell lines can also be used for drug screening, as they create a controlled environment to test therapeutic interventions aimed at ameliorating defects arising from COL22A1 gene mutations.

The scientific importance of these cell lines in both research and clinical settings cannot be overstated. They serve as valuable tools for genetic studies, functional assays, and the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can obtain deeper insights into the pathophysiology of diseases associated with collagen deficiencies, paving the way for targeted treatment options.

Compared to alternative models such as primary cell cultures or traditional knockout models, COL22A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages, including reproducibility, scalability, and the ability to systematically study the gene’s functional consequences without the confounding effects seen in whole organisms.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of these cell lines lies in their potential to accelerate the understanding of COL22A1-related disorders, enabling the development of precise interventions that align with personalized medicine approaches. Our company specializes in high-quality genetic engineering products, ensuring that each COL22A1 Gene Knockout Cell Line is rigorously validated to provide reliable results for your research needs.
