IFT122 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IFT122

Official Full Name: intraflagellar transport 122provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This cytoplasmic protein contains seven WD repeats and an AF-2 domain which function by recruiting coregulatory molecules and in transcriptional activation. Mutations in this gene cause cranioectodermal dysplasia-1. A related pseudogene is located on chromosome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Background

IFT122 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to lack the expression of the IFT122 gene, which encodes a protein integral to intraflagellar transport (IFT). This pivotal mechanism is essential for the assembly and maintenance of cilia, organelles that play critical roles in various cellular functions, including signal transduction and sensory perception. The disruption of IFT122 expression facilitates in-depth studies on the implications of cilia dysfunction in developmental disorders, cancer, and other pathologies.

These knockout cell lines operate through the mechanism of gene editing, utilizing targeted approaches such as CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which allows precise modifications to genetic sequences. By eliminating the IFT122 protein, researchers can elucidate its role in ciliary formation and function, thereby advancing our understanding of ciliopathies— a group of disorders caused by abnormalities in cilia. This product holds significant value in both research and clinical settings, offering a robust platform for investigating the molecular pathways affected by cilia-related defects and for developing potential therapeutic avenues for diseases linked to impaired ciliary function.

Compared to traditional methods of gene manipulation, IFT122 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide several advantages, including enhanced specificity, reproducibility, and ease of use. Unlike other gene-editing products that may result in off-target effects or inconsistent expression profiles, these knockout cell lines deliver reliable results that can expedite research timelines and enhance experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians focused on understanding the complex roles of cilia in health and disease, IFT122 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an invaluable resource. They empower innovative research that could ultimately lead to breakthrough discoveries in the treatment of ciliopathies and related conditions.
