Gene: GABRQ
Official Full Name: gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit thetaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes the theta subunit of the GABA A receptor. The gene is mapped to chromosome Xq28 in a cluster of genes including those that encode the alpha 3 and epsilon subunits of the GABA A receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

GABRQ Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in molecular biology research, specifically designed to study the GABRQ gene, which encodes a subunit of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. These cell lines have been genetically engineered through CRISPR-Cas9 technology to eliminate the expression of the GABRQ gene, allowing researchers to investigate the functional implications of GABRQ deficiency on cellular signaling pathways and excitatory/inhibitory balance in neurons.
The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to provide a model for studying GABA receptor physiology, pharmacology, and its role in various neurological disorders. By creating a controlled environment where the GABRQ gene is silenced, scientists can conduct precise experiments to assess the receptor’s contribution to synaptic transmission and neuronal plasticity. With GABA being the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, understanding its receptor dynamics is crucial in both basic research and therapeutic applications.
The scientific importance of GABRQ Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond fundamental research; these lines facilitate drug testing and the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting GABA receptors. For instance, researchers can evaluate the potential of new anxiolytics or antiepileptic medications more effectively by using these knockout models, ultimately translating findings into clinical insights.
Compared to alternative models, such as stable cell lines that may retain partial expression of GABRQ or rely on knockdown approaches, GABRQ Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a complete loss-of-function model which provides a clearer understanding of receptor function. Additionally, these cell lines are produced with high specificity and reproducibility, ensuring that data obtained is robust and reliable.
For researchers and clinicians, GABRQ Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable tool for elucidating the complexities of GABAergic signaling and its implications in various pathological states. The insights garnered from these models can foster advancements in the understanding and treatment of numerous neurological conditions, from anxiety disorders to epilepsy.
