DUSP8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DUSP8

Official Full Name: dual specificity phosphatase 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the dual specificity protein phosphatase subfamily. These phosphatases inactivate their target kinases by dephosphorylating both the phosphoserine/threonine and phosphotyrosine residues. They negatively regulate members of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase superfamily (MAPK/ERK, SAPK/JNK, p38), which is associated with cellular proliferation and differentiation. Different members of the family of dual specificity phosphatases show distinct substrate specificities for various MAP kinases, different tissue distribution and subcellular localization, and different modes of inducibility of their expression by extracellular stimuli. This gene product inactivates SAPK/JNK and p38, is expressed predominantly in the adult brain, heart, and skeletal muscle, is localized in the cytoplasm, and is induced by nerve growth factor and insulin. An intronless pseudogene for DUSP8 is present on chromosome 10q11.2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

DUSP8 gene knockout cell lines are genetically modified models specifically designed to investigate the biological roles of the DUSP8 gene, known for its function as a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase. By targeting and disrupting the DUSP8 gene, these cell lines provide researchers with robust tools to study the regulatory mechanisms of ERK signaling pathways, critical for various cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.

The primary function of the DUSP8 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to highlight the consequences of DUSP8 deficiency on cellular signaling, specifically the impact on phosphorylated ERK levels. By using these knockout models, researchers can elucidate the intricacies of DUSP8’s role in cancer biology, immune response, and various metabolic diseases, enabling them to untangle complex signaling networks.

The scientific importance of DUSP8 knockout models extends to both research and clinical applications. In a laboratory setting, these cell lines can facilitate drug discovery efforts by providing insight into potential therapeutic targets within the MAPK pathway. Clinically, understanding the function of DUSP8 may contribute to the development of novel treatments for diseases characterized by aberrant MAPK signaling, such as certain cancers.

What sets DUSP8 gene knockout cell lines apart from alternatives is their high specificity and reproducibility. Unlike traditional methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference, knockout models offer a complete gene disruption, capturing the full spectrum of DUSP8's biological effects without the confounding variables associated with incomplete suppression.

These cell lines are valuable for researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of cellular signaling pathways and their implications in health and disease. Our company specializes in high-quality, meticulously validated genetic models, ensuring that you can trust our DUSP8 knockout cell lines to deliver precise and reproducible results. With our expertise, we are committed to advancing research and therapeutic innovation in the life sciences.
