Gene: CRTAC1
Official Full Name: cartilage acidic protein 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a glycosylated extracellular matrix protein that is found in the interterritorial matrix of articular deep zone cartilage. This protein is used as a marker to distinguish chondrocytes from osteoblasts and mesenchymal stem cells in culture. The presence of FG-GAP motifs and an RGD integrin-binding motif suggests that this protein may be involved in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions. Copy number alterations in this gene have been observed in neurofibromatosis type 1-associated glomus tumors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

CRTAC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models designed to eliminate the expression of the CRTAC1 (Cartilage Articular 1) gene, which is critically involved in cartilage and joint function. These knockout cell lines are instrumental in studying the biological roles of CRTAC1 and elucidating its contributions to various pathological conditions, particularly osteoarthritis and other cartilage-related disorders.
The primary function of CRTAC1 knockout cell lines is to facilitate the investigation of cellular responses and pathways that are disrupted in the absence of this gene, enabling researchers to mimic disease states and understand the underlying mechanisms. These cell lines harbor a targeted genetic modification that enhances the capability to investigate gene function using techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 or homologous recombination. This results in loss-of-function studies that are crucial for identifying the pathways influenced by CRTAC1, revealing insights into its role in cell signaling, inflammation, and cartilage homeostasis.
The scientific significance of CRTAC1 knockout cell lines lies in their application in both basic and applied research. They serve as valuable tools for drug discovery and development, as well as potential biomarkers for disease progression in research and clinical settings. Understanding how CRTAC1 deficiency alters cellular behavior can provide therapeutic insights and lead to the discovery of novel interventions for joint diseases.
Compared to alternative models, CRTAC1 gene knockout cell lines offer specificity and reproducibility, which are crucial for experimental accuracy. They enable a deeper investigation into gene function and allow researchers to derive more nuanced interpretations of the data. Additionally, using these cell lines minimizes the variability often seen in primary cell cultures, ensuring consistency in experimental outcomes.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of CRTAC1 gene knockout cell lines is clear; they provide an essential platform to unravel complex biological questions related to cartilage biology, ultimately supporting the development of targeted therapies.
