Gene: FLVCR1
Official Full Name: FLVCR choline and heme transporter 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the major facilitator superfamily of transporter proteins. The encoded protein is a heme transporter that may play a critical role in erythropoiesis by protecting developing erythroid cells from heme toxicity. This gene may play a role in posterior column ataxia with retinitis pigmentosa and the hematological disorder Diamond-Blackfan syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

FLVCR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to disable the FLVCR1 gene, which encodes a transporter protein involved in heme transport and cellular iron homeostasis. This manipulation allows for the detailed study of the physiological and pathological roles of FLVCR1 in various biological contexts. By creating a loss-of-function model, researchers can investigate the repercussions of FLVCR1 deficiency, including alterations in cellular iron levels, oxidative stress responses, and implications for hematopoiesis and various disease states.
The primary mechanism of action relies on the CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which precisely targets and edits the FLVCR1 gene sequence, resulting in efficient knockout of its expression. This gene-editing capability enables researchers to create a stable mutant cell line that serves as an invaluable tool for exploring the consequences of FLVCR1 disruption at molecular, cellular, and organismal levels.
The scientific importance of FLVCR1 knockout models extends into both research and clinical applications, particularly in studies related to anemia, iron metabolism disorders, and potential therapies for related conditions. These cell lines also provide a platform for drug screening and toxicological assessments, contributing to the understanding of how FLVCR1 dysfunction might influence drug efficacy and safety.
Compared to traditional gene knockout methods, FLVCR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced specificity and efficiency, significantly reducing the risk of off-target effects and ensuring robust experimental reproducibility. Moreover, these lines are pre-validated for researchers' convenience, thus accelerating experimental timelines and streamlining research methodologies.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of iron metabolism and its associated diseases, FLVCR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present a unique opportunity to unravel complex biological processes.
