CTNNA1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CTNNA1

Official Full Name: catenin alpha 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the catenin family of proteins that play an important role in cell adhesion process by connecting cadherins located on the plasma membrane to the actin filaments inside the cell. The encoded mechanosensing protein contains three vinculin homology domains and undergoes conformational changes in response to cytoskeletal tension, resulting in the reconfiguration of cadherin-actin filament connections. Certain mutations in this gene cause butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

Background

CTNNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cell models in which the CTNNA1 gene, responsible for encoding alpha-catenin, has been specifically disrupted or deleted, allowing the study of its function and associated pathways. The absence of alpha-catenin creates a unique environment that influences cadherin-mediated cell adhesion and impacts cellular signaling, thereby providing significant insights into various biological processes.

These cell lines offer key mechanisms for understanding the role of CTNNA1 in cellular junction integrity, proliferation, and differentiation. By elucidating the pathways influenced by CTNNA1, researchers can investigate its implications in conditions such as cancer metastasis, neurodevelopmental disorders, and other pathologies, where cadherin functionality is disrupted. The knockout models also facilitate functional studies to dissect the compensatory mechanisms cells might adopt in the absence of alpha-catenin, further contributing to our understanding of cell biology.

The scientific importance of CTNNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated, particularly in oncology and developmental biology. They serve as an invaluable tool for drug discovery, enabling researchers to screen potential therapeutic compounds and study their effects on CTNNA1-related signaling pathways. Unlike alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or transgenic systems, these knockout lines provide clarity by directly eliminating the confounding variable of native alpha-catenin expression.

Researchers and clinicians value this product for its robust application across multiple experimental paradigms. By using CTNNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, they can generate reproducible data to support their findings, fostering innovation and advancing knowledge in their respective fields.

Backed by our company’s extensive expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, we are committed to providing researchers with high-quality, reliable tools that meet the rigorous demands of contemporary scientific inquiry.
