Gene: GUCY1A1
Official Full Name: guanylate cyclase 1 soluble subunit alpha 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Soluble guanylate cyclases are heterodimeric proteins that catalyze the conversion of GTP to 3',5'-cyclic GMP and pyrophosphate. The protein encoded by this gene is an alpha subunit of this complex and it interacts with a beta subunit to form the guanylate cyclase enzyme, which is activated by nitric oxide. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

GUCY1A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to knock out the GUCY1A1 gene, which encodes the alpha subunit of guanylate cyclase, a crucial receptor for nitric oxide. This product enables researchers to discern the functional role of GUCY1A1 in various physiological and pathological processes, including vascular regulation and signal transduction—offering a powerful tool for dissecting nitric oxide-mediated signaling pathways.
These cell lines function by employing CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology, a precise and effective method for gene knockout. By disrupting the GUCY1A1 gene, the cell lines exhibit a marked reduction in guanylate cyclase activity, allowing researchers to observe the resultant effects on cellular behavior, signaling cascades, and overall homeostasis. This provides a unique experimental context to study disease models associated with cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Scientifically, GUCY1A1 gene knockout cell lines hold significant importance in both research and clinical settings. They are pivotal for understanding the complexities of nitric oxide signaling and its implications in various diseases, thus aiding drug discovery and therapeutic intervention strategies. Furthermore, these cell lines can be used to screen for potential pharmacological agents that target the GUCY1A1 gene pathway, resulting in better-informed therapeutic approaches.
Compared to alternative methods such as transient transfection or RNA interference, the stable retention of the knockout phenotype in these cell lines allows for longer-term studies and reproducibility of results. Moreover, researchers can easily obtain clonal populations to ensure consistency in experimental conditions, a feature that enhances the reliability of data.
For researchers and clinicians striving to elucidate the mechanisms by which nitric oxide signaling impacts health and disease, GUCY1A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an indispensable asset. Our company stands at the forefront of genetic engineering technologies, with a commitment to providing high-quality, reliable biological products that empower scientific innovation and discovery.
