Gene: EIF2AK4
Official Full Name: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2), resulting in the downregulaton of protein synthesis. The encoded protein responds to amino acid deprivation by binding uncharged transfer RNAs. It may also be activated by glucose deprivation and viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals suffering from autosomal recessive pulmonary venoocclusive-disease-2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

EIF2AK4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models where the EIF2AK4 gene has been inactivated, allowing researchers to study the effects of this gene's absence on cellular processes. The EIF2AK4 gene encodes an enzyme that is pivotal for the phosphorylation of eIF2α, thus playing a critical role in the cellular stress response, particularly in the context of amino acid deficiency and viral infection. These knockout cell lines provide a powerful tool to dissect molecular pathways and establish the physiological impacts of EIF2AK4 on cell survival, proliferation, and apoptosis under stress conditions.
The primary mechanism of action in EIF2AK4 involves the induction of downstream transcriptional responses that regulate stress granule formation and autophagy. By creating knockouts, researchers can observe variations in these pathways and assess how the absence of EIF2AK4 affects overall cellular resilience to stressors, which has significant implications for understanding cancer biology and neurodegenerative disorders.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends across both basic research and clinical applications. They are invaluable for investigating drug targets, elucidating mechanisms of resistance to therapies, and facilitating the development of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at optimizing stress response pathways. In particular, they hold promise for applications involving gene therapy and personalized medicine.
Compared to existing alternatives, EIF2AK4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages, such as enhanced specificity and reproducibility in experimental outcomes. They provide researchers with a genetically defined model that allows for precise manipulation of cellular conditions, minimizing confounding effects often observed in traditional models. This specificity is crucial for generating valid data conducive to the development of effective interventions.
The value of this product lies in its applicability to various fields including oncology, immunology, and regenerative medicine, making it an indispensable asset for researchers and clinicians alike who are striving to unlock new therapeutic avenues. Our company prides itself on its expertise in genetic engineering and commitment to advancing biological research through innovative products, ensuring that every cell line we produce represents the highest standards of quality and precision in the field.
