ERBB3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ERBB3

Official Full Name: erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This membrane-bound protein has a neuregulin binding domain but not an active kinase domain. It therefore can bind this ligand but not convey the signal into the cell through protein phosphorylation. However, it does form heterodimers with other EGF receptor family members which do have kinase activity. Heterodimerization leads to the activation of pathways which lead to cell proliferation or differentiation. Amplification of this gene and/or overexpression of its protein have been reported in numerous cancers, including prostate, bladder, and breast tumors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding different isoforms have been characterized. One isoform lacks the intermembrane region and is secreted outside the cell. This form acts to modulate the activity of the membrane-bound form. Additional splice variants have also been reported, but they have not been thoroughly characterized.

Background

ERBB3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically altered cellular models specifically designed to eliminate the expression of the ERBB3 gene, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family. This gene is pivotal in various signaling pathways that regulate cellular growth, differentiation, and survival. By creating a knockout version of this gene, researchers can investigate its role in oncogenesis, resistance to therapy, and cellular signaling pathways related to cancer and other diseases.

The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate the study of the biological consequences of ERBB3 absence. Researchers utilize techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to generate these models, allowing for precise modifications. This enables an in-depth examination of how ERBB3 influences signaling cascades and contributes to cellular behaviors, such as proliferation and metastasis. Additionally, the models serve as valuable tools for identifying potential therapeutic targets and testing the efficacy of new drugs, especially those aimed at overcoming resistance mechanisms in cancer therapies.

The scientific importance of ERBB3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is highlighted by their applications in both basic research and translational studies. They are instrumental in elucidating the molecular underpinnings of diseases driven by aberrant ERBB3 signaling, which has been implicated in various cancers, including breast and colorectal cancer. These cell lines also hold potential in pharmacogenomics, enabling researchers to assess how different ERBB3 expression levels affect drug responses.

An advantage of using our ERBB3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines over alternatives such as transient knockdown approaches is their stability and long-term viability for experiments. Once established, these cell lines provide consistent and reproducible data, vastly improving experimental reliability. Furthermore, they offer a more thorough understanding of gene function in a physiological context, ultimately leading to more robust findings.

For researchers and clinicians, these knockout cell lines represent a valuable asset, unlocking new avenues for discovery in cancer biology and therapeutic innovation. By integrating cutting-edge genetic editing technologies, we ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality and efficacy.
