DTNA Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DTNA

Official Full Name: dystrobrevin alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the dystrobrevin subfamily of the dystrophin family. This protein is a component of the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DPC), which consists of dystrophin and several integral and peripheral membrane proteins, including dystroglycans, sarcoglycans, syntrophins and alpha- and beta-dystrobrevin. The DPC localizes to the sarcolemma and its disruption is associated with various forms of muscular dystrophy. Mutations in this gene are associated with left ventricular noncompaction with congenital heart defects. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

DTNA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have had the DTNA gene, encoding for the neuronal membrane protein dystrobrevin alpha, disrupted through targeted genome editing techniques, typically CRISPR-Cas9. These knockout cell lines are invaluable tools for studying the functional roles of the DTNA gene in neuronal development and disease. By providing a system to observe the absence of this gene, researchers can elucidate the molecular pathways that contribute to various neurological disorders, including myopathies and certain forms of cardiomyopathy.

The key function of DTNA Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to facilitate the investigation of gene function and regulation. With the DTNA gene removed, investigators can study the resulting phenotypic changes and evaluate compensatory mechanisms that might arise in the absence of dystrobrevin alpha. This provides a clear advantage in dissecting the complexities of neuronal signaling and synaptic dynamics.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both fundamental research and clinical applications. They represent a critical innovation in drug discovery, allowing for high-throughput screening of therapeutics aimed at restoring DTNA functionality or compensating for its loss. In clinical settings, insights gained from DTNA knockout models could lead to the development of targeted genetic interventions or novel pharmaceuticals tailored to patients exhibiting DTNA-related diseases.

Compared to traditional cell lines that express the DTNA gene, these knockout cell lines offer unique selling points, such as greater specificity in identifying the gene's role and improved reproducibility in experimental outcomes. Researchers leveraging these models are more likely to uncover novel findings that contribute to the development of pathways focused on neuroprotection and muscle health.

By focusing on the latest advancements in genetic engineering, our company has positioned itself at the forefront of biomedical research, consistently delivering high-quality products like the DTNA Gene Knockout Cell Lines that empower scientists and clinicians in their quest to understand and treat complex biological phenomena effectively.
