EPGN Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: EPGN

Official Full Name: epithelial mitogenprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the epidermal growth factor family. Members of this family are ligands for the epidermal growth factor receptor and play a role in cell survival, proliferation and migration. This protein has been reported to have high mitogenic activity but low affinity for its receptor. Expression of this transcript and protein have been reported in cancer specimens of the breast, bladder, and prostate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Background

EPGN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models designed to enable the study of the epidermal growth factor-induced signaling pathway by specifically targeting and disrupting the EPGN gene, which encodes for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family member. These cell lines serve as vital tools for understanding the role of EPGN in various physiological and pathological processes, including cellular proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

The primary function of EPGN Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to exhibit a loss of EPGN function, allowing researchers to investigate the downstream effects of this knockout on cellular responses and signaling pathways. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar gene-editing technologies, these cell lines provide precise genetic modifications, facilitating the dissection of the complex mechanisms of EPGN interactions within the EGF receptor family and its impact on various biological systems.

In research and clinical settings, EPGN Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for elucidating the molecular underpinnings of diseases such as cancer, where aberrant EGF signaling is a hallmark. They are extensively used in drug development, toxicity testing, and biomarker discovery, offering insights that can translate into therapeutic interventions.

What sets our EPGN Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their high fidelity in gene knockout efficiency and stability across passages, ensuring reproducible results. They also come with comprehensive characterization data, including validation of the knockout efficiency and assessment of phenotypic changes, giving researchers confidence in their results.

The value of these cell lines for researchers and clinicians lies in their ability to provide a robust platform for studying the effects of EPGN disruption in a controlled environment, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of EGF-related diseases. Our commitment to high-quality, reliable biological products stems from years of expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, making us a trusted partner for advancing research and therapeutic innovations.
