Gene: GABRB3
Official Full Name: gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit beta3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ligand-gated ionic channel family. The encoded protein is one the subunits of a multi-subunit chloride channel that serves as the receptor for gamma-aminobutyric acid, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the mammalian nervous system. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 15 in a cluster with two other genes encoding related subunits of the family. This gene may be associated with the pathogenesis of several disorders including Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, nonsyndromic orofacial clefts, epilepsy and autism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

GABRB3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to facilitate the study of the GABRB3 gene, which encodes for a subunit of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. The GABRB3 gene is crucial for mediating inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system, making it a pivotal target in understanding various neuropsychiatric disorders, including epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders, and schizophrenia. These cell lines enable researchers to investigate the functional implications of GABRB3 loss on neuronal physiology and signaling pathways, thereby providing insights into the pathophysiology of neurological conditions.
The mechanism of action for these knockout cell lines involves the complete ablation of the GABRB3 gene through targeted genome editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9. This results in the production of cells that lack the GABRB3 protein, allowing for detailed analyses of both cellular and molecular changes that occur in the absence of this receptor subunit. By evaluating these knockout models, researchers can discern changes in GABAergic transmission and receptor characteristics, ultimately leading to the development of therapeutic strategies.
From a scientific perspective, GABRB3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve an indispensable role in translational research. They are utilized in various applications, including drug discovery, neuropharmacology, and the development of gene therapies. The ability to model diseases at the cellular level allows for a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms, enhancing the potential for developing targeted interventions.
Compared to existing alternatives such as wild-type cell lines or less specific knockout models, these GABRB3 knockouts offer specificity and reliability. They provide researchers with clear phenotype readouts and more accurate representations of human disease states. Moreover, these cell lines can be easily integrated into high-throughput screening assays, making them indispensable tools in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.
