COL5A1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: COL5A1

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

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an alpha chain for one of the low abundance fibrillar collagens. Fibrillar collagen molecules are trimers that can be composed of one or more types of alpha chains. Type V collagen is found in tissues containing type I collagen and appears to regulate the assembly of heterotypic fibers composed of both type I and type V collagen. This gene product is closely related to type XI collagen and it is possible that the collagen chains of types V and XI constitute a single collagen type with tissue-specific chain combinations. The encoded procollagen protein occurs commonly as the heterotrimer pro-alpha1(V)-pro-alpha1(V)-pro-alpha2(V). Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, types I and II. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Background

COL5A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the COL5A1 gene has been selectively disrupted, providing researchers with a powerful tool to study the role of this gene in various biological processes and diseases. The COL5A1 gene encodes a component of type V collagen, which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of tissues, particularly in the extracellular matrix. By knocking out this gene, scientists can investigate the downstream effects on collagen formation, cell behavior, and tissue remodeling.

The primary function of COL5A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate an in-depth understanding of collagen-related disorders, including various forms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and other connective tissue disorders. These cell lines allow for the exploration of altered signaling pathways, cellular interactions, and mechanical properties of tissues affected by collagen deficiencies, thus revealing mechanisms that contribute to disease phenotypes.

In clinical research settings, utilizing COL5A1 knockout models is crucial for preclinical assessments of potential therapies and for elucidating the pathophysiology of collagen-related diseases. Their use can substantiate findings from in vivo studies and create more reliable targets for drug discovery and regenerative medicine efforts.

Compared to traditional knockdown methods, our COL5A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide robust, stable models with a complete loss of gene function, minimizing off-target effects often seen with RNA interference techniques. This specificity allows for more accurate interpretations of experimental outcomes, increasing the validity of research findings. Additionally, our cell lines come with comprehensive characterization data and user-friendly protocols, ensuring that researchers can integrate them into their studies seamlessly.

Researchers and clinicians will find significant value in incorporating these knockout cell lines into their work, as they bring clarity to complex biological questions and contribute to innovative therapeutic strategies in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Our company, with a longstanding commitment to advancing genetic tools and cell line development, ensures that we provide high-quality, rigorously validated products that meet the evolving needs of the scientific community.
