Gene: CPE
Official Full Name: carboxypeptidase Eprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptidase. This peripheral membrane protein cleaves C-terminal amino acid residues and is involved in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters, including insulin. This protein may also function independently of its peptidase activity, as a neurotrophic factor that promotes neuronal survival, and as a sorting receptor that binds to regulated secretory pathway proteins, including prohormones. Mutations in this gene are implicated in type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

CPE Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models that allow researchers to study the functional role of the carboxypeptidase E (CPE) gene by creating loss-of-function mutations. These cell lines provide a powerful tool for investigating the biological pathways and mechanisms influenced by CPE, which plays a crucial role in peptide hormone processing and neuropeptide modulation. By using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, our CPE knockouts effectively disrupt the gene, enabling scientists to analyze the phenotypic and molecular consequences of CPE deficiency in a controlled laboratory setting.
The key functions of CPE include the involvement in the maturation of prohormones into their biologically active forms, making it vital for normal neuroendocrine function. By employing CPE gene knockout cell lines, researchers can explore how alterations in CPE activity affect cellular signaling, hormone secretion, and neurogenesis, providing insights into disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and neurological diseases. These applications have significant implications in both basic and translational research, facilitating a deeper understanding of various physiological processes and potential therapeutic targets.
Compared to traditional methods, such as RNA interference, our CPE Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a more permanent and specific approach to gene silencing. This enables more accurate evaluations of gene function and the downstream effects of CPE absence. Furthermore, these cell lines come well-characterized and validated for reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes.
Researchers and clinicians seeking to enhance their work in endocrinology or neurobiology will find these knockout cell lines particularly valuable. They allow for in-depth exploration of gene functions with the potential for novel therapeutic discoveries. By integrating advanced genetic engineering techniques, we empower scientists with the tools necessary to unravel complex biological mechanisms.
