DFFA Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DFFA

Official Full Name: DNA fragmentation factor subunit alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Apoptosis is a cell death process that removes toxic and/or useless cells during mammalian development. The apoptotic process is accompanied by shrinkage and fragmentation of the cells and nuclei and degradation of the chromosomal DNA into nucleosomal units. DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) is a heterodimeric protein of 40-kD (DFFB) and 45-kD (DFFA) subunits. DFFA is the substrate for caspase-3 and triggers DNA fragmentation during apoptosis. DFF becomes activated when DFFA is cleaved by caspase-3. The cleaved fragments of DFFA dissociate from DFFB, the active component of DFF. DFFB has been found to trigger both DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation during apoptosis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

DFFA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to facilitate the study of the DFFA gene (Death-Inducing DNA Fragmentation Factor Alpha), a key player in apoptosis and DNA fragmentation processes. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of the DFFA gene, allowing researchers to analyze the biological implications of its absence. This tool provides an invaluable resource for understanding DFFA's role in cellular responses to stress, cancer development, and therapeutic resistance.

The primary function of DFFA Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to elucidate the pathways involved in programmed cell death and the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA damage responses. This enables researchers to examine how DFFA's absence affects cellular physiology, gene expression profiles, and overall cell survival. Such insights are critical for advancing the understanding of numerous cytotoxic therapies and their effectiveness against diverse malignancies.

In both research and clinical settings, these knockout cell lines play a vital role in drug discovery, toxicity testing, and elucidating cancer biology. By providing a clear model for investigating how loss of DFFA alters cell functionality, they aid in identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

What sets DFFA Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their precise genomic modification, reliability, and reproducibility – characteristics essential for robust scientific findings. Their unique design ensures that studies yield clear insights into the DFFA gene's physiological roles, thereby increasing the velocity at which novel therapeutic approaches can be developed.

For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their comprehension of apoptosis pathways and improve treatment outcomes, the DFFA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an essential addition to their toolkit. Our company, with its commitment to advancing scientific understanding through innovative biotechnological solutions, proudly offers these advanced cell lines, underpinned by extensive expertise in gene editing technologies.
