Gene: CRYGS

Official Full Name: crystallin gamma Sprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. Gamma-crystallins are a homogeneous group of highly symmetrical, monomeric proteins typically lacking connecting peptides and terminal extensions. They are differentially regulated after early development. This gene encodes a protein initially considered to be a beta-crystallin but the encoded protein is monomeric and has greater sequence similarity to other gamma-crystallins. This gene encodes the most significant gamma-crystallin in adult eye lens tissue. Whether due to aging or mutations in specific genes, gamma-crystallins have been involved in cataract formation.

Background

CRYGS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cell models that specifically lack the gene encoding the enzyme Cystathionine γ-lyase (CRYGS), which plays a critical role in sulfur amino acid metabolism and the synthesis of hydrogen sulfide. By employing precise CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these knockout cell lines enable researchers to investigate the physiological roles and pathological implications of the CRYGS gene, thus facilitating insights into various cellular processes.

The primary function of CRYGS Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide an unparalleled platform for the study of CRYGS-related signaling pathways. Without the presence of CRYGS, researchers can analyze alterations in cellular metabolism, reactive sulfur species production, and the overall impact on cell viability and stress response mechanisms. Furthermore, these models are essential for dissecting the implications of CRYGS deficiency in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disorders.

In scientific research and clinical settings, these cell lines offer significant advantages over traditional in vitro models. The targeted deletion of the CRYGS gene allows for a more accurate representation of the biological processes impacted by its absence, making the findings more relevant and translatable to human health. Moreover, the ability to create isogenic cell models enhances reproducibility and confidence in experimental results, which are often a challenge with other methods.

Researchers and clinicians will find CRYGS Gene Knockout Cell Lines indispensable for discovering therapeutic targets and developing novel treatment strategies, particularly for diseases where CRYGS plays a pivotal role. The precise and consistent nature of these knockout models provides a robust tool for academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology applications, streamlining the path from hypothesis to functional validation.
