Gene: DMD
Official Full Name: dystrophinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene spans a genomic range of greater than 2 Mb and encodes a large protein containing an N-terminal actin-binding domain and multiple spectrin repeats. The encoded protein forms a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which bridges the inner cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Deletions, duplications, and point mutations at this gene locus may cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), or cardiomyopathy. Alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing result in numerous distinct transcript variants and protein isoforms for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

DMD Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to study the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) gene, which is crucial for encoding dystrophin, a protein that plays a significant role in muscle integrity. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines have had the DMD gene effectively knocked out, enabling researchers to investigate the functional consequences of its absence at cellular and molecular levels.
The primary function of DMD Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the pathophysiological state of DMD in vitro. This allows for the examination of downstream effects on muscle cells, enabling researchers to uncover mechanisms of disease progression and to identify potential therapeutic targets. Due to the precise nature of the gene knockout, scientists can conduct controlled experiments that are pivotal for drug discovery and development, particularly in testing the efficacy and safety of novel treatments aimed at restoring dystrophin levels or compensating for its loss.
The application of these cell lines spans a wide array of research fields, including molecular biology, genetics, and pharmacology, making them a vital tool in both academic research and clinical settings focusing on neuromuscular disorders. Compared to traditional models, such as animal models or non-targeted knockdown approaches, these knockout cell lines offer a clearer and more efficient means to study gene function and screen therapeutic agents.
From a commercial perspective, DMD Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out for their ready-to-use nature, high reproducibility, and the robustness of data they provide. This ease of use accelerates timelines for research, presenting a significant advantage over other models that may require extended periods for development or show higher variability in outcomes.
For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of DMD, these cell lines represent not only a vital research tool but also a step forward in the pursuit of effective therapies.
