Gene: GRN
Official Full Name: granulin precursorprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Granulins are a family of secreted, glycosylated peptides that are cleaved from a single precursor protein with 7.5 repeats of a highly conserved 12-cysteine granulin/epithelin motif. The 88 kDa precursor protein, progranulin, is also called proepithelin and PC cell-derived growth factor. Cleavage of the signal peptide produces mature granulin which can be further cleaved into a variety of active, 6 kDa peptides. These smaller cleavage products are named granulin A, granulin B, granulin C, etc. Epithelins 1 and 2 are synonymous with granulins A and B, respectively. Both the peptides and intact granulin protein regulate cell growth. However, different members of the granulin protein family may act as inhibitors, stimulators, or have dual actions on cell growth. Granulin family members are important in normal development, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GRN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models in which the gene encoding the Granulin protein (GRN) has been fully disrupted, allowing for precise studies on gene function and associated biological pathways. These cell lines are created using advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology, ensuring a high degree of specificity in gene editing, thus providing a powerful tool for examining the role of Granulin in various physiological and pathological contexts, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
The primary function of these cell lines is to facilitate research into the molecular mechanisms regulated by GRN. By knocking out this gene, researchers can observe alterations in cellular behavior, signaling pathways, and gene expression, highlighting GRN's role in inflammatory responses and tissue repair. As such, these cell lines serve as a reliable platform for drug discovery, toxicity screening, and biomedical research, allowing scientists to develop and validate hypotheses about gene function in real time.
In terms of scientific importance, GRN Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand at the forefront of research aiming to elucidate the complexities of Granulin-related pathologies. They enable the investigation of GRN's contribution to neurodegeneration, showcasing the potential for novel therapeutic targets. Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or transgenic models, these knockout lines provide clarity concerning gene-specific effects, thereby reducing the ambiguity often associated with functional assays.
The value of GRN Gene Knockout Cell Lines to researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies lies in their versatility and utility in experimental settings. They not only accelerate the discovery process by providing clear insights into gene function but also enhance reproducibility in research outcomes. The precise modulation of GRN can lead to breakthroughs in understanding the underlying mechanisms of diseases, paving the way for innovative treatment strategies.
