DPP4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DPP4

Official Full Name: angiotensinogenprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene, pre-angiotensinogen or angiotensinogen precursor, is expressed in the liver and is cleaved by the enzyme renin in response to lowered blood pressure. The resulting product, angiotensin I, is then cleaved by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to generate the physiologically active enzyme angiotensin II. The protein is involved in maintaining blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, and in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension and preeclampsia. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension, and can cause renal tubular dysgenesis, a severe disorder of renal tubular development. Defects in this gene have also been associated with non-familial structural atrial fibrillation, and inflammatory bowel disease. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2019]

Background

DPP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines in which the Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4) gene has been selectively disrupted. DPP4 is an important cell surface protein involved in various physiological processes, including glucose metabolism, immune regulation, and the inactivation of several bioactive peptides. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers are provided with a robust platform to study the physiological roles of DPP4 and to investigate its involvement in disease states, particularly diabetes, obesity, and cancer.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to elucidate DPP4's biochemical pathways and physiological effects by removing the gene's activity, allowing for a clear observation of the resultant phenotypic changes. This strategy enables researchers to measure knock-on effects in metabolic signaling, immune responses, and cellular processes, which may be altered in the absence of DPP4. Additionally, these cell lines serve as valuable tools for drug discovery and development, particularly for therapies aimed at modulating DPP4 activity such as DPP4 inhibitors, which are already a vital part of diabetes management.

The scientific importance of DPP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their various research and clinical applications. They facilitate studies on the mechanisms of action of DPP4-related medications and offer insights into the role of DPP4 in inflammation and metabolic disorders. Compared to wild-type cells, knockout lines present a cleaner experimental background, significantly reducing the confounding variables that could obscure the effects of therapeutic agents being tested.

The advantages of our DPP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include unparalleled specificity in targeting the DPP4 gene, high reproducibility in experimental outcomes, and efficient validation processes that streamline research workflows. By offering these customized knockout models, our product stands out as a pivotal asset for researchers looking to advance their studies.
