HBZ Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: HBZ

Official Full Name: hemoglobin subunit zetaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Zeta-globin is an alpha-like hemoglobin. The zeta-globin polypeptide is synthesized in the yolk sac of the early embryo, while alpha-globin is produced throughout fetal and adult life. The zeta-globin gene is a member of the human alpha-globin gene cluster that includes five functional genes and two pseudogenes. The order of genes is: 5' - zeta - pseudozeta - mu - pseudoalpha-1 - alpha-2 -alpha-1 - theta1 - 3'. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Background

HBZ Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that possess targeted deletions of the HBZ (HBV X protein) gene. This innovative tool is pivotal for understanding the biological roles of HBZ in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and associated liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma. The knockout process utilizes CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which facilitates a precise excision of the HBZ gene, thereby allowing researchers to study the downstream effects of its absence on cellular functions and signaling pathways.

These cell lines provide a unique platform for exploring the mechanisms of HBV-induced oncogenesis, cellular responses to viral infection, and host-pathogen interactions. By creating a controlled environment where the HBZ gene is absent, researchers can delineate its role in viral replication, immune evasion, and tumor progression, making these cell lines invaluable in both basic and translational research settings.

Compared to traditional models, such as wild-type cell lines or alternative gene-editing techniques, our HBZ Gene Knockout Cell Lines boast enhanced specificity and efficiency, minimizing off-target effects. This precision not only accelerates the research process but also ensures reliable results, crucial for drug discovery and therapeutic development.

For researchers and clinicians focused on HBV, these cell lines represent a significant advancement, providing insights that can lead to innovative treatments. They are purpose-designed for high-throughput screening and are compatible with various assay formats, enabling versatile experimental designs.

With a strong foundation in genetic engineering and an unwavering commitment to scientific excellence, our company is dedicated to providing high-quality biological products like the HBZ Gene Knockout Cell Lines. We strive to empower the scientific community in unraveling the complexities of infectious diseases and cancer, fostering advancements that pave the way for improved healthcare solutions.
