Gene: GLRB
Official Full Name: glycine receptor betaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the beta subunit of the glycine receptor, which is a pentamer composed of alpha and beta subunits. The receptor functions as a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel, which produces hyperpolarization via increased chloride conductance due to the binding of glycine to the receptor. Mutations in this gene cause startle disease, also known as hereditary hyperekplexia or congenital stiff-person syndrome, a disease characterized by muscular rigidity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

GLRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specialized tool designed for the targeted disruption of the Glycine Receptor Beta Subunit (GLRB) gene in various cell types. This innovative cellular model provides researchers with a unique platform to study the physiological and pathological roles of the GLRB gene, which plays a critical function in synaptic transmission and neurotransmission within the central nervous system. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar gene-editing technologies, these cell lines allow for precise genome editing, leading to the loss of GLRB function and enabling the investigation of downstream effects in neural signaling pathways.
The prominent mechanism underpinning GLRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to facilitate the analysis of glycine receptor functionality, helping to elucidate the receptor's contributions to various excitatory and inhibitory processes in neuronal communication. Such insights are vital, as alterations in GLRB have been implicated in numerous neurological disorders, including epilepsy and spasticity.
In research and clinical settings, GLRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as valuable resources for drug discovery, therapeutic interventions, and understanding mechanisms of disease – specifically within neurobiology and pharmacology. Their application can lead to the identification of potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers relevant to neurological conditions, ultimately contributing to advancements in personalized medicine.
The advantages of using GLRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines over traditional models include enhanced specificity, reproducibility, and the potential for high-throughput screening. Unlike other knockout systems that may exhibit off-target effects or retain partial gene function, our cell lines provide a clean deletion, allowing for more accurate assessments of gene function and drug interactions.
Researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals will find these cell lines indispensable for their ability to simulate disease states without the confounding factors present in whole organisms. By incorporating GLRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines into their research, users can obtain clearer insights that drive innovation in therapeutic development.
