Gene: FZD4
Official Full Name: frizzled class receptor 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the frizzled gene family. Members of this family encode seven-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for the Wingless type MMTV integration site family of signaling proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway. This protein may play a role as a positive regulator of the Wingless type MMTV integration site signaling pathway. A transcript variant retaining intronic sequence and encoding a shorter isoform has been described, however, its expression is not supported by other experimental evidence.

FZD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models designed to specifically disrupt the FZD4 gene's function within a variety of cell types. This gene encodes the Frizzled-4 protein, a key receptor implicated in the Wnt signaling pathway, which plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and tissue patterning. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar gene-editing technologies, these knockout cell lines provide a means to study the absence of FZD4 in biological contexts, allowing researchers to investigate its function and contributions to various diseases, particularly those related to developmental pathways and cancer.
The primary mechanism of action in these cell lines is the complete abrogation of FZD4 protein expression, thus facilitating an environment to elucidate downstream effects in signaling cascades, and to better understand the molecular underpinnings of associated pathologies. This makes FZD4 knockout cell lines a valuable tool in both fundamental research and translational studies, enabling scientists to probe biological phenomena with precision.
The scientific importance of FZD4 knockout models extends into several key applications, including drug discovery, functional genomics, and the assessment of therapeutic strategies targeting Wnt signaling. Their ability to mimic specific genetic disruptions provides a robust platform for studying disease mechanisms and potential interventions in preclinical models.
Compared to traditional knockout models or RNAi-based approaches, FZD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present distinct advantages. They ensure a complete and stable loss of gene function, thus circumventing issues related to incomplete knockdown or off-target effects characteristic of some other methodologies. Moreover, these cell lines can be readily adapted for high-throughput screening, facilitating expedited experimental workflows.
Researchers and clinicians alike can greatly benefit from the use of FZD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines as they represent a reliable and reproducible experimental system that yields high-quality, relevant biological data. These models not only enhance our understanding of FZD4's role in health and disease but also lay the groundwork for innovative therapeutic strategies.
