DYRK1A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DYRK1A

Official Full Name: dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 1Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK) family. This member contains a nuclear targeting signal sequence, a protein kinase domain, a leucine zipper motif, and a highly conservative 13-consecutive-histidine repeat. It catalyzes its autophosphorylation on serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. It may play a significant role in a signaling pathway regulating cell proliferation and may be involved in brain development. This gene is a homolog of Drosophila mnb (minibrain) gene and rat Dyrk gene. It is localized in the Down syndrome critical region of chromosome 21, and is considered to be a strong candidate gene for learning defects associated with Down syndrome. Alternative splicing of this gene generates several transcript variants differing from each other either in the 5' UTR or in the 3' coding region. These variants encode at least five different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

DYRK1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specially engineered set of cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) gene, known to play a critical role in neurodevelopment and cellular signaling pathways. By specifically knocking out the DYRK1A gene, these cell lines allow researchers to investigate the consequences of its absence, providing a powerful tool to elucidate the gene's functional roles in various biological processes.

The primary mechanism of these cell lines involves CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which enables precise editing of the genome, leading to the effective disruption of the DYRK1A gene. This creates a cellular environment in which the effects of reduced DYRK1A expression can be thoroughly studied, including alterations in neural differentiation, synaptic function, and the cellular response to stress. Such insights are particularly valuable in understanding the implications of genetic mutations associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.

Scientifically, DYRK1A plays a pivotal role in regulating multiple pathways, including cell cycle control, apoptosis, and neuronal differentiation, making these knockout models incredibly significant for both basic research and potential translational applications. They are especially beneficial for investigating the cellular mechanisms underpinning neurodevelopmental disorders and for developing targeted therapies.

Compared to other available systems, DYRK1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages: they provide a reliable and consistent model for high-throughput screening and functional assays, leading to enhanced reproducibility of results. Additionally, the specificity of the knockout approach allows for precise interpretation of data, unlike approaches that rely on knockdown techniques which may leave residual gene activity.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to advance their understanding of DYRK1A’s diverse biological roles and its implications in human health, these cell lines represent an invaluable asset. They empower targeted investigations that can lead to novel insights and therapeutic strategies. Our company prides itself on its commitment to quality and innovation, ensuring that our products, including the DYRK1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines, meet the highest standards in scientific research.
