FHIT Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: FHIT

Official Full Name: fragile histidine triad diadenosine triphosphataseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a P1-P3-bis(5'-adenosyl) triphosphate hydrolase involved in purine metabolism. This gene encompasses the common fragile site FRA3B on chromosome 3, where carcinogen-induced damage can lead to translocations and aberrant transcripts. In fact, aberrant transcripts from this gene have been found in about half of all esophageal, stomach, and colon carcinomas. The encoded protein is also a tumor suppressor, as loss of its activity results in replication stress and DNA damage. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Background

FHIT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially developed cellular models where the Fragile Histidine Triad (FHIT) gene has been systematically disrupted. These genetically engineered cell lines serve as invaluable tools in the study of cancer biology and various metabolic disorders, enabling researchers to understand the consequences of FHIT gene deletion on cellular functions, pathways, and disease mechanisms. The exact role of the FHIT gene is particularly pertinent given its involvement in apoptosis, DNA repair, and tumor suppression.

The key functions of the FHIT Gene Knockout Cell Lines hinge on the absence of FHIT protein, which leads to altered pathways associated with cell proliferation, genomic stability, and response to cellular stress. Researchers can employ these cell lines to delve into productive studies concerning tumorigenesis, cellular signaling, and the role of FHIT in maintaining cellular homeostasis. The models provide a framework for investigating how null mutations in FHIT affect other molecular pathways, ultimately contributing to the understanding of cancer’s multifactorial nature.

The scientific importance of these cell lines lies in their application across both fundamental and translational research settings. They are vital for validating the role of FHIT in various cancers and exploring potential therapeutic avenues. For instance, by using these knockout lines, scientists can test the efficacy of drugs targeting related pathways, thus accelerating the development of novel oncological therapies.

What distinguishes our FHIT Gene Knockout Cell Lines from other genetic models is their high specificity and reliability, coupled with rigorous validation for consistent performance in experimental conditions. Unlike transient or temporary knockdown systems, these durable knockout cell lines retain their genetic modification through multiple passages, ensuring reproducibility and integrity in experimental designs.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of FHIT Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond basic research; they foster a better understanding of cancer pathogenesis, can aid in biomarker discovery, and contribute to personalized medicine approaches. Moreover, the elucidation of novel therapeutic targets through these models offers immense potential for impactful clinical applications.

With a decade of experience in the field of genetic engineering and cell line development, our company is committed to providing high-quality biological products that meet the rigorous demands of modern research and clinical applications. Our dedicated team of scientists ensures that every product, including the FHIT Gene Knockout Cell Lines, meets the highest standards of quality and efficacy, fostering innovation in biological research.
