DFFB Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DFFB

Official Full Name: DNA fragmentation factor subunit betaprovided 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene but the biological validity of some of these variants has not been determined.

Background

DFFB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have undergone targeted genetic modifications to disrupt the DFFB gene, which encodes a critical component of the DNA fragmentation pathway. This product serves as a powerful tool for researchers investigating cellular apoptosis, DNA repair mechanisms, and the broader implications of programmed cell death in various biological contexts. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these cell lines provide a highly efficient and precise means of elucidating the role of DFFB in cellular physiology and pathology.

The primary function of DFFB Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the study of mitochondrial and nuclear apoptotic pathways by allowing researchers to observe the functional consequences of DFFB gene disruption. In particular, the absence of DFFB leads to altered apoptotic responses, making these cell lines invaluable for drug testing, toxicity assessments, and mechanistic investigations involving cancer therapies. Their use can provide insights into therapeutic resistance mechanisms in cancers that exploit apoptotic pathways, ultimately contributing to the development of novel treatments.

From a scientific standpoint, the availability of DFFB Gene Knockout Cell Lines significantly enhances experimental reproducibility and specificity in the field of cell biology and oncology research. They represent a model system that avoids limitations associated with wild-type cells, which may exhibit compensatory mechanisms that can obscure the effects of specific gene disruptions. This makes DFFB knockout models particularly advantageous for targeted investigations into gene function and interaction with pharmacological agents.

Moreover, the unique selling points of DFFB Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their ease of use, stability in culture, and rapid adaptability for high-throughput screening applications. This product not only offers researchers a reliable means of conducting experiments but also expedites the discovery of new therapeutic strategies.

For researchers and clinicians, investing in DFFB Gene Knockout Cell Lines means gaining access to robust and validated models that can drive impactful discoveries in molecular biology and clinical research. As an industry leader in biological research products, our company is committed to providing high-quality, meticulously characterized cellular models that empower scientists worldwide to advance their research initiatives.
