FKTN Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: FKTN

Official Full Name: fukutinprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a putative transmembrane protein that is localized to the cis-Golgi compartment, where it may be involved in the glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan in skeletal muscle. The encoded protein is thought to be a glycosyltransferase and could play a role in brain development. Defects in this gene are a cause of Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2M (LGMD2M), and dilated cardiomyopathy type 1X (CMD1X). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Background

FKTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are meticulously developed cell lines that have undergone targeted gene disruption of the FKTN gene, which encodes the protein fukutin, involved in glycosylation processes necessary for cellular function, particularly in muscle and neuronal tissues. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of the FKTN gene, allowing researchers to study the consequences of fukutin deficiency in a controlled environment.

The primary function of FKTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to provide a model for investigating the pathogenic mechanisms behind disorders related to fukutin deficiency, such as Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) and other glycosylation disorders. By analyzing cellular processes, researchers can explore how the absence of fukutin affects muscle development, cellular signaling pathways, and overall cellular physiology. This cellular model is crucial for elucidating the role of fukutin in disease progression and identifying potential therapeutic targets.

The scientific importance of FKTN knockout cell lines extends to various research and clinical applications. They serve as valuable tools in drug discovery, enabling the screening of pharmacological agents that may ameliorate the effects of fukutin deficiency or related disorders. Additionally, these cell lines can aid in testing gene therapies designed to restore proper gene function, thereby offering insights that could translate into therapeutic interventions for patients.

One of the significant advantages of our FKTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their high specificity and reliability compared to traditional knockout models. Many existing cell lines often include residual activity or compensatory mechanisms that can obscure results. Our cell lines, however, provide a clean genetic background, ensuring that any observed phenotypic changes or responses to treatments are attributable directly to the absence of fukutin.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of utilizing FKTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to accelerate the understanding of disease mechanisms and treatment strategies. With our consistently high-quality cell lines, scientists can conduct more reliable and reproducible experiments, making strides toward innovative therapeutic solutions.

With a committed focus on advancing biomedical research, our company leverages extensive expertise in genetics and cell biology to offer top-tier biological products like the FKTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines. This dedication ensures researchers have access to the best tools available for pioneering work in genetic and cellular sciences.
