Gene: COL9A3
Official Full Name: collagen type IX alpha 3 chainprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

COL9A3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially developed biological tools where the COL9A3 gene, which encodes the alpha-3 chain of type IX collagen, has been specifically disrupted or knocked out using advanced genome-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9. This product serves as an essential resource for researchers investigating the roles and pathways associated with collagen interactions in various biological processes, including tissue homeostasis, cartilage integrity, and cellular signaling.
The primary function of COL9A3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the study of the gene's effects on cellular behavior, matrix deposition, and overall biological function in relevant tissues. By eliminating COL9A3 expression, researchers can assess the phenotypic consequences on cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and response to mechanical stress. Additionally, these cell lines can be employed to unveil potential compensatory mechanisms from other collagen types and to explore the implications of COL9A3 disruption in disease models, specifically osteoarthritis and other collagen-related disorders.
From a scientific standpoint, knockouts of COL9A3 are vital for elucidating the gene's contributions to both normal physiology and pathological conditions. They provide a powerful platform for drug discovery and therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring normal function. Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type or overexpressing cell lines, COL9A3 gene knockout lines offer a more accurate physiological context and clearer interpretation of data concerning COL9A3's functional role.
The ability to create specific gene knockouts allows for robust insights into gene function, mutation effects, and potential treatment avenues for collagen-related diseases. With cell lines available that are authenticated and validated, researchers and clinicians can rely on the consistency and reproducibility of results crucial for advancing their work.
