GPC3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GPC3

Official Full Name: glypican 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation. The protein encoded by this gene can bind to and inhibit the dipeptidyl peptidase activity of CD26, and it can induce apoptosis in certain cell types. Deletion mutations in this gene are associated with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, also known as Simpson dysmorphia syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Background

GPC3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable tool in molecular biology research, specifically designed to study the role of the glypican-3 (GPC3) gene in cellular processes and disease states, particularly in cancer. These cell lines are genetically engineered to disrupt the expression of the GPC3 gene, allowing researchers to investigate the effects of GPC3 absence on cellular behavior, signaling pathways, and tumor growth dynamics.

The primary function of these gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide a controlled environment for observing the influence of GPC3 on various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. By using CRISPR-Cas9 or similar genome-editing techniques, the knockout mechanism ensures a reliable and reproducible loss-of-function model. This facilitates targeted research into the role of GPC3, which is increasingly implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies, providing insights that are crucial for the development of therapeutic strategies and potential biomarkers.

Scientifically, the significance of GPC3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is multifaceted. Beyond cancer research, they are instrumental for studies in developmental biology, as GPC3 is involved in regulating growth factors and signaling pathways during embryogenesis. Researchers can employ these cell lines in drug screening and functional assays to identify molecules that could revert the GPC3-related phenotypes, thereby paving the way for novel therapeutic interventions.

What sets our GPC3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their robust validation and optimization, designed to ensure high specificity and efficiency in gene knockout studies. Unlike generic models, our lines are characterized by enhanced stability and minimal off-target effects, granting researchers confidence in their experimental outcomes.

Investing in GPC3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is a strategic advantage for researchers and clinicians who are exploring cutting-edge avenues in oncology and regenerative medicine. With a continued focus on translational research, these cell lines hold transformative potential for advancing our understanding of cancer biology and developing innovative treatments.

Our company stands at the forefront of genetic engineering, with a commitment to delivering high-quality, scientifically validated biological products. With extensive expertise in cell line development and gene editing technologies, we empower researchers to achieve unparalleled insights into complex biological phenomena.
