Gene: CD44
Official Full Name: CD44 molecule (IN blood group)provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein involved in cell-cell interactions, cell adhesion and migration. It is a receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA) and can also interact with other ligands, such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This protein participates in a wide variety of cellular functions including lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, hematopoiesis, and tumor metastasis. Transcripts for this gene undergo complex alternative splicing that results in many functionally distinct isoforms, however, the full length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing is the basis for the structural and functional diversity of this protein, and may be related to tumor metastasis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

CD44 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable tools designed for advanced biological research, particularly in the study of cell adhesion, migration, and tissue homing mechanisms. CD44 is a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in cell-cell interactions, cell matrix adhesion, and is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including cancer progression and immune response. By knocking out the CD44 gene, researchers can investigate the cellular and molecular consequences of its absence, providing insights into its role in disease pathology and potential therapeutic strategies.
These knockout cell lines operate on the principle of gene editing technology, commonly utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 or RNA interference techniques to effectively disrupt the CD44 gene. Following the knockout, researchers can assess alterations in cellular behavior, signaling pathways, and response to external stimuli, facilitating a better understanding of the gene's function within different contexts, such as tumor microenvironments or inflammatory conditions.
The scientific importance of CD44 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in cancer research, immunology, and stem cell biology. They enable the exploration of CD44 as a therapeutic target in cancer, where its role in tumor growth and metastasis has made it a focal point of investigation. Additionally, these cell lines serve as platforms for drug efficacy testing, allowing scientists to evaluate the impact of novel therapeutics on CD44-dependent cellular behaviors.
Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or transiently transfected cells, CD44 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a stable and reproducible platform for long-term studies, reducing variability and enhancing experimental reliability. This specificity enables a more profound exploration of functional roles without confounding effects from CD44 activity.
For researchers and clinicians engaged in cell biology, oncology, or immunology, the value of utilizing CD44 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is immense. They foster a deeper understanding of fundamental cellular processes while advancing the development of targeted therapies. Our company, with extensive expertise in genetic modification and cell line development, proudly offers these knockout cell lines to empower your research endeavors and contribute to the advancement of biomedical science.
