EIF2AK3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: EIF2AK3

Official Full Name: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2, leading to its inactivation, and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis. This protein is thought to modulate mitochondrial function. It is a type I membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is induced by ER stress caused by malfolded proteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with Wolcott-Rallison syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

Background

EIF2AK3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precision-engineered cellular models designed to study the functional impacts of EIF2AK3 (also known as PERK, Protein Kinase RNA-like Endoplasmic Reticulum Kinase) deficiency. These cell lines are derived from a specific tissue type and undergo targeted gene editing techniques to effectively disrupt the EIF2AK3 gene. The resulting knockout models serve as crucial tools in investigating the role of EIF2AK3 in cellular stress responses, particularly in the context of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a vital pathway for maintaining cellular homeostasis and survival under stress conditions.

The primary mechanism of action of EIF2AK3 centers on its function as a serine/threonine kinase that becomes activated in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Upon activation, it phosphorylates eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α), thereby inhibiting general protein synthesis while selectively translating stress-responsive proteins. This mechanism plays a critical role in cellular function, linking ER stress to various diseases, including diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Researchers utilizing these knockout cell lines can explore the cellular and molecular outcomes associated with EIF2AK3 loss, thereby enhancing the understanding of various pathological conditions.

Scientifically, EIF2AK3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide invaluable insights into UPR signaling pathways and their implications in disease mechanisms. In clinical settings, these models can facilitate drug discovery by identifying therapeutic targets or evaluating the efficacy of potential treatments. They also support translational research aimed at developing strategies to mitigate stress-related cellular damage.

Unique selling points of these knockout cell lines include their customizable nature, high specificity, and reproducibility, ensuring consistent results across experiments. Compared to traditional cell lines, our EIF2AK3 knockout models empower researchers with enhanced precision in their investigations into the role of ER stress in health and disease.

For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, the EIF2AK3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pivotal resource for advancing knowledge in cellular biology and therapeutic development. Our company leverages expertise in genetic engineering and cellular biology to deliver innovative products that meet the evolving needs of the scientific community, fostering advancements in biological research and clinical applications.
