Gene: DOK7
Official Full Name: docking protein 7provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is essential for neuromuscular synaptogenesis. The protein functions in aneural activation of muscle-specific receptor kinase, which is required for postsynaptic differentiation, and in the subsequent clustering of the acetylcholine receptor in myotubes. This protein can also induce autophosphorylation of muscle-specific receptor kinase. Mutations in this gene are a cause of familial limb-girdle myasthenia autosomal recessive, which is also known as congenital myasthenic syndrome type 1B. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

DOK7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specialized series of genetically modified cell lines used to study the function and signaling pathways associated with the DOK7 gene. DOK7 (Downstream of Kinase 7) is pivotal for neuromuscular junction development and is implicated in various myopathies. These knockout cell lines are created using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, allowing for precise editing of the DOK7 gene, leading to a complete loss of function. This enables researchers to investigate the implications of DOK7 absence, contributing to a deeper understanding of neuromuscular diseases and potential therapeutic targets.
The primary mechanism of these cell lines involves the disruption of DOK7 protein synthesis, which in turn affects downstream signaling processes essential for muscle function and synaptic stability. By facilitating the analysis of altered signaling cascades, these knockout models can elucidate the molecular basis of diseases linked to DOK7 dysfunction.
In research and clinical contexts, DOK7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for drug discovery, functional genomics studies, and the development of gene therapies. Their application can lead to novel insights into the role of DOK7 in muscular dystrophies and other neuromuscular disorders.
Compared with alternative models, such as wild-type or overexpressing cell lines, knockout cell lines provide a more accurate representation of the effects of gene loss, enabling more relevant experimental outcomes. This specificity allows researchers to avoid confounding factors, thereby enhancing the reliability of data derived from experiments.
