HOXD13 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: HOXD13

Official Full Name: homeobox D13provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, located on different chromosomes, consisting of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXD genes located in a cluster on chromosome 2. Deletions that remove the entire HOXD gene cluster or the 5' end of this cluster have been associated with severe limb and genital abnormalities. Mutations in this particular gene cause synpolydactyly. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

HOXD13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered model systems specifically designed to investigate the functional role of the HOXD13 gene, which is crucial in limb and digit development. These cell lines have been created through cutting-edge CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to induce precise deletions within the HOXD13 gene locus, thereby eliminating its expression. This knockout enables researchers to elucidate the gene's contributions to developmental processes and associated environmental interactions.

The primary function of the HOXD13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to serve as an essential tool for understanding the molecular underpinnings of teratogenic factors influencing limb malformations and congenital disorders. Within these models, the absence of HOXD13 allows for the assessment of compensatory mechanisms and pathways activated in its absence, providing insights into limb patterning and skeletal anomalies. Additionally, utilizing these cell lines in various assays, such as gene expression analysis and pathway studies, can uncover synergistic relationships among developmental genes, enhancing the understanding of genetic contributions to disease.

The scientific importance of HOXD13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond basic research; they play a pivotal role in preclinical studies focused on genetic disorders, potentially leading to novel therapeutic strategies. Their use in drug discovery and developmental biology shows promise for translating findings into clinically relevant outcomes.

Compared to traditional methods of gene disruption, such as chemical mutagenesis or traditional knockdown techniques, these knockout cell lines offer superior specificity and reproducibility. The precision of CRISPR technology allows for targeted deletions without affecting adjacent genes, which enhances the reliability of results and accelerates research timelines.

For researchers and clinicians seeking deeper insights into the genetic factors affecting limb development, the HOXD13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource. They provide a platform that empowers investigations into gene function, disease modeling, and potential therapeutic interventions.
