Gene: CTNS
Official Full Name: cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporterprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane domain protein that functions to transport cystine out of lysosomes. Its activity is driven by the H+ electrochemical gradient of the lysosomal membrane. Mutations in this gene cause cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]

CTNS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines engineered to lack the cystine transporter gene (CTNS), which encodes the cystine/glutamate antiporter critical for cystine uptake and amino acid homeostasis. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for studying cystinosis, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of cystine within lysosomes, leading to cellular dysfunction and organ damage. The knockout mechanism primarily involves CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring precise and efficient genome editing, which enables researchers to elucidate the underlying pathological mechanisms of cystinosis and to explore potential therapeutic interventions.
The scientific importance of CTNS Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide researchers with a reliable in vitro model that mimics the cystine-depletion pathology, facilitating investigations into the cellular and molecular pathways affected by cystine accumulation. They are crucial in drug discovery, gene therapy research, and the development of targeted treatments that can mitigate the effects of cystinosis. Additionally, these cell lines can support the validation of new therapeutic strategies, including enzyme replacement therapy and small-molecule drugs, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
What sets our CTNS Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their high fidelity and reproducibility, achieved through rigorous validation processes that ensure consistent performance across experiments. This reliability is essential for researchers who require precise and accurate data in their investigations. Our cell lines are also adaptable for use in a variety of assays, making them versatile tools for a wide range of experimental applications.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, the CTNS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are not just products but gateways to transformational insights into cystinosis. They offer the capacity to drive innovation in understanding and treating this complex genetic disorder, ultimately translating research into clinical success.
