DDX28 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DDX28

Official Full Name: DEAD-box helicase 28provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of the DEAD box protein family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene is intronless. It encodes an RNA-dependent ATPase. The encoded protein is localized in the mitochondria and the nucleus, and can be transported between the mitochondria and the nucleus.

Background

DDX28 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell systems designed to specifically lack the DDX28 gene, which encodes a member of the DEAD-box RNA helicase family involved in various RNA metabolic processes. These cell lines offer a powerful tool for elucidating the functional roles of DDX28 in cellular processes such as the regulation of mitochondrial RNA metabolism, translation, and the overall maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, each knockout cell line ensures the precise disruption of DDX28, enabling researchers to study the gene's implications in both normal physiology and disease contexts with high specificity.

The primary function of DDX28 involves unwinding RNA structures, thereby facilitating protein-ribosome interactions and promoting efficient translation of mitochondrial transcripts. Its various roles make it essential for cellular energy metabolism, particularly in aerobic cell types. Understanding the perturbations introduced by its absence can illuminate DDX28's contributions to mitochondrial dysfunction seen in various pathologies, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines lies in their application in research areas such as gene function validation, drug testing, and the development of gene therapies. They provide a robust platform for investigating the nuances of RNA processing and its impact on disease mechanisms. Compared to alternative cell lines, DDX28 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unparalleled accuracy in studying gene function, allowing for clearer insights into the implications of genetic disruptions.

Their value extends to researchers looking to decode the complexities of mitochondrial biology and explore new therapeutic avenues. With our expertise in gene editing technology and commitment to quality, we ensure that each DDX28 Gene Knockout Cell Line is validated for reliability and reproducibility, empowering scientists and clinicians in their vital work towards advancing precision medicine.
