Gene: GFRA1
Official Full Name: GDNF family receptor alpha 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor receptor (GDNFR) family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature receptor. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and neurturin (NTN) are two structurally related, potent neurotrophic factors that play key roles in the control of neuron survival and differentiation. This receptor is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked cell surface receptor for both GDNF and NTN, and mediates activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. This gene is a candidate gene for Hirschsprung disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed.

GFRA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed for the study of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) receptor alpha 1 (GFRA1), an important player in neurodevelopment and neuroprotection. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines have been precisely edited to disrupt the GFRA1 gene, allowing researchers to investigate the consequences of GFRA1 loss on cellular signaling pathways, survival, and differentiation.
The primary function of GFRA1 is to bind GDNF, initiating a cascade of intracellular signaling critical for neuronal development and maintenance. In the absence of GFRA1, crucial neurotrophic pathways are compromised, which can inform studies on neurodegenerative diseases, synaptic plasticity, and regenerative medicine. These knockout cell lines facilitate a deeper understanding of GFRA1-related mechanisms by providing a baseline model devoid of this receptor, enabling researchers to delineate its role in health and disease more effectively.
In the clinical and research settings, GFRA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery and development, particularly in identifying novel therapeutic targets for conditions like Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. The power of these cell lines lies in their ability to produce reproducible and controlled results, fostering reliable data that can expedite translational research efforts.
What sets our GFRA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from conventional alternatives is the precision of our gene editing techniques, user-friendly protocol for cell line maintenance, and extensive validation ensuring high-quality performance across various applications. By integrating well-characterized genetic modifications, these cell lines stand out as robust platforms for experimental exploration.
Researchers and clinicians benefit significantly from utilizing these knockout cell lines, given their potential to expedite discoveries and deepen our understanding of GFRA1 involvement in critical biological processes. Our company's commitment to innovation in cellular models and expertise in genetic engineering underpin the quality and reliability of our product offerings, reinforcing our position as a leader in the field of biological research tools.
