Gene: DSC3
Official Full Name: desmocollin 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-dependent glycoprotein that is a member of the desmocollin subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. These desmosomal family members, along with the desmogleins, are found primarily in epithelial cells where they constitute the adhesive proteins of the desmosome cell-cell junction and are required for cell adhesion and desmosome formation. The desmosomal family members are arranged in two clusters on chromosome 18, occupying less than 650 kb combined. Mutations in this gene are a cause of hypotrichosis and recurrent skin vesicles disorder. The protein can act as an autoantigen in pemphigus diseases, and it is also considered to be a biomarker for some cancers. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

The DSC3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced biological tools specifically engineered to facilitate the study of the desmocollin 3 gene (DSC3), which plays a crucial role in cell-cell adhesion and integrity within epithelial tissues. These cell lines are generated through CRISPR/Cas9 technology, creating precise deletions of the DSC3 gene, allowing researchers to dissect its functional contributions in various physiological and pathological contexts.
The primary mechanism of action involves the disruption of the DSC3 gene, leading to the absence of desmocollin 3 protein expression in these cell lines. This absence enables scientists to examine downstream signaling pathways and cellular behaviors that depend on DSC3, such as adhesion formation, migration, and response to mechanical stress. Understanding these mechanisms is vital for elucidating the roles of desmosomal proteins in diseases like cancer, where aberrant cell adhesion is a hallmark.
Scientifically, the DSC3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines have significant applicability in both research and clinical settings, particularly in oncology, dermatology, and developmental biology. They serve as indispensable models for drug screening, gene therapy studies, and pathway analysis, enabling a deeper understanding of how dysregulation of DSC3 contributes to disease states.
Compared to alternative products, such as non-specific gene silencing methods, these knockout cell lines provide a complete and robust gene deletion, ensuring a comprehensive functional analysis without the confounding effects of partial loss or off-targeting. This specificity not only enhances data reliability but also substantially raises the potential for novel discoveries in the field.
For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing the understanding of cellular adhesion and its implications in disease, the DSC3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable and innovative resource. They empower users with the capability to explore complex biological queries while accelerating the development of potential therapeutic interventions.
