ICMT Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ICMT

Official Full Name: isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the third of three enzymes that posttranslationally modify isoprenylated C-terminal cysteine residues in certain proteins and target those proteins to the cell membrane. This enzyme localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Alternative splicing may result in other transcript variants, but the biological validity of those transcripts has not been determined.

Background

ICMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular systems that have undergone targeted genetic modification to completely disrupt the expression of the Isoprenylcysteine Carboxyl Methyltransferase (ICMT) gene. This gene is an essential component in the post-translational modification of proteins, particularly those involved in signal transduction and membrane localization. The knockout of ICMT provides researchers with the ability to study the role of this enzyme in various biological processes, including cell signaling pathways, cancer progression, and the metabolism of lipid-modified proteins.

The primary mechanism of action for these cell lines lies in their ability to simulate the loss of ICMT function, providing a unique platform to investigate the downstream effects of this loss on cellular physiology and pathology. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar genome-editing technologies, the ICMT gene is effectively rendered nonfunctional, allowing for the exploration of its role in modulating protein interactions and the subsequent impacts on cell behavior.

Scientifically, ICMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold substantial importance within both research and clinical settings. They are invaluable for elucidating the mechanisms of disease, particularly in cancer biology and developmental research, where aberrant signaling is often implicated. Moreover, these cell lines can serve as platforms for drug discovery and testing, enabling the identification of novel therapeutic targets and the development of ICMT inhibitors.

What sets ICMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative products is their specificity, reliability, and ease of use. Unlike transient RNA interference methods, which can lead to incomplete or inconsistent gene knockdown, these knockout cell lines provide a stable genetic alteration for long-term studies. This stability ensures consistent results, making them a preferred choice for researchers seeking detailed insights into gene function.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of ICMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is manifold. They provide a more comprehensive understanding of cellular mechanisms and their implications in health and disease, ultimately contributing to the advancement of therapeutic strategies. Our company is dedicated to offering high-quality biological products, backed by extensive expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development. We are committed to supporting the scientific community with reliable tools that drive innovation and discovery in life sciences research.
