GABARAP Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GABARAP

Official Full Name: GABA type A receptor-associated proteinprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptors [GABA(A) receptors] are ligand-gated chloride channels that mediate inhibitory neurotransmission. This gene encodes GABA(A) receptor-associated protein, which is highly positively charged in its N-terminus and shares sequence similarity with light chain-3 of microtubule-associated proteins 1A and 1B. This protein clusters neurotransmitter receptors by mediating interaction with the cytoskeleton. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

GABARAP Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models in which the GABARAP gene, essential for the functioning of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor-associated protein, has been knocked out. These cell lines allow researchers to study the role of GABARAP in various biological processes, including synaptic transmission, cellular signaling, and autophagy. By eliminating the GABARAP protein, scientists can observe the resultant phenotypic changes in cellular behavior, offering invaluable insights into the molecular underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disorders and other diseases linked to neurotransmission.

The key mechanism at play within these knockout models is the assessment of GABARAP's involvement in receptor trafficking and the modulation of synaptic efficacy. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 or other gene-editing technologies for the creation of these knockout lines, researchers can delve into the downstream effects of GABARAP absence, thereby elucidating its precise contributions to cellular homeostasis and pathophysiology. Such insights are crucial for developing targeted therapies for disorders like epilepsy and anxiety disorders, where GABARAP signaling may be disrupted.

In terms of scientific importance, GABARAP Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as foundational tools in pharmacological studies and in the search for novel therapeutic agents. Their ability to mimic human pathophysiological states in vitro renders them indispensable in preclinical research settings, minimizing the reliance on animal models and enhancing the translatability of findings to human clinical contexts.

Compared to alternative approaches, such as traditional knockdown methods, the GABARAP knockout cell lines offer irreversible gene disruption, leading to more robust and reproducible results. This durability allows for prolonged experimental timelines without the complications associated with transient expression methods, thereby strengthening the reliability of the data obtained.

For researchers and clinicians focused on neurobiology and drug discovery, GABARAP Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a compelling asset. They empower users to navigate complex signaling networks and better comprehend the intricate roles of proteins in neuronal function and dysfunction.
