Gene: HTR7
Official Full Name: 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 7provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The neurotransmitter, serotonin, is thought to play a role in various cognitive and behavioral functions. The serotonin receptor encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors and the gene is a candidate locus for involvement in autistic disorder and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Three splice variants have been identified which encode proteins that differ in the length of their carboxy terminal ends. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HTR7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to facilitate the functional study of the serotonin receptor 7 (HTR7), which plays a critical role in modulating neurotransmission and cognitive processes in the central nervous system. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines have been engineered to express a complete knockout of the HTR7 gene, allowing researchers to investigate the implications of HTR7 deficiency without interference from other pathways or compensatory mechanisms.
The primary function of HTR7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to provide a stable environment for examining the receptor's role in various physiological processes, including mood regulation, learning, and memory. These cell lines enable detailed investigations into signaling pathways and downstream effects triggered by HTR7, while also allowing for pharmacological testing of novel therapeutic compounds targeting this receptor. Researchers can explore the cellular responses to pharmacological modulation, providing insights that are particularly relevant in drug discovery and development for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.
The scientific significance of HTR7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential application in translational research, where understanding the nuances of receptor function can lead to more effective therapeutic strategies. By providing a pure genetic background devoid of HTR7, these cell lines represent a significant advancement over traditional models that may not accurately reflect receptor-mediated effects.
Compared to alternative models, such as transient knockdown systems or pharmacological inhibition, HTR7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced stability and reproducibility in experimental results. They ensure consistency over multiple passages, enabling long-term studies that are critical for understanding chronic conditions.
For researchers and clinicians, the ability to study the specific role of HTR7 in a controlled environment opens doors to new discoveries in neuropharmacology and neuroscience. As such, these cell lines are invaluable tools for those aiming to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application.
