Gene: ELN
Official Full Name: elastinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is one of the two components of elastic fibers. Elastic fibers comprise part of the extracellular matrix and confer elasticity to organs and tissues including the heart, skin, lungs, ligaments, and blood vessels. The encoded protein is rich in hydrophobic amino acids such as glycine and proline, which form mobile hydrophobic regions bounded by crosslinks between lysine residues. Degradation products of the encoded protein, known as elastin-derived peptides or elastokines, bind the elastin receptor complex and other receptors and stimulate migration and proliferation of monocytes and skin fibroblasts. Elastokines can also contribute to cancer progression. Deletions and mutations in this gene are associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) and autosomal dominant cutis laxa.

ELN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are meticulously engineered cell lines that possess a targeted knockout of the ELN gene, which encodes for tropoelastin, an essential protein in the extracellular matrix affecting tissue elasticity. These cell lines are created through advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows for precise genome editing. The primary function of ELN Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the functional study of elastic fiber formation, contribute to understanding disorders related to elastin deficiency, and serve as robust models for drug discovery and regenerative medicine.
In research and clinical settings, these knockout cell lines hold significant scientific importance. They enable researchers to investigate the role of elastin in various biological processes, such as vascular development, skin elasticity, and the pathogenesis of diseases like Marfan syndrome and emphysema. By analyzing the phenotypic changes that occur upon the loss of the ELN gene, scientists can unravel important molecular pathways and identify potential therapeutic targets.
Compared to conventional cell models, ELN Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages such as high specificity, reproducibility, and an authentic representation of biological processes impacted by elastin loss. This specificity reduces background noise in experimental results, allowing for clearer insights into cellular mechanisms. Furthermore, the ease of culture and manipulation that these cell lines provide makes them an invaluable asset for rapid experimental setups.
For researchers and clinicians working in areas ranging from developmental biology to tissue engineering, ELN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an essential resource that streamlines experimental workflows and enhances data quality. By utilizing this product, users can significantly advance their studies with reliable and relevant models.
