FLT1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: FLT1

Official Full Name: fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) family. VEGFR family members are receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) which contain an extracellular ligand-binding region with seven immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, a transmembrane segment, and a tyrosine kinase (TK) domain within the cytoplasmic domain. This protein binds to VEGFR-A, VEGFR-B and placental growth factor and plays an important role in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Expression of this receptor is found in vascular endothelial cells, placental trophoblast cells and peripheral blood monocytes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Isoforms include a full-length transmembrane receptor isoform and shortened, soluble isoforms. The soluble isoforms are associated with the onset of pre-eclampsia.[provided by RefSeq, May 2009]

Background

FLT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to lack the expression of the FLT1 gene, which encodes the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1). This product serves as a pivotal tool for dissecting the biological roles of VEGFR-1 in angiogenesis, inflammation, and various pathological conditions, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

These cell lines operate by utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology to induce targeted mutations that disrupt the FLT1 gene, effectively creating a knockout phenotype. The absence of FLT1 allows researchers to study downstream signaling pathways and phenotypic changes that arise in response to VEGF and other angiogenic stimuli. This functional disruption enables detailed investigations into how FLT1 influences endothelial cell behavior, migration, and vascular development.

The scientific importance of these cell lines lies in their capacity to facilitate groundbreaking research in both fundamental biology and applied medical contexts. They are invaluable in drug discovery, where understanding FLT1's role in pathways associated with tumor growth can accelerate the development of targeted therapies. Additionally, they are instrumental in studying vascular permeability and immune responses, providing insights into a range of diseases.

Compared to alternatives, FLT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a more precise model for studying VEGFR-1 functions without the confounding effects of gene expression variability inherent in other models, such as siRNA-mediated knockdown or pharmacological inhibitors. Their robustness and reproducibility make them an appealing choice for researchers seeking to generate consistent and reliable data.

For clinicians and researchers alike, the deep insights gained from utilizing FLT1 knockout models can significantly propel translational research efforts towards understanding complex diseases. Their application can lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets and the development of innovative treatment strategies.
