Gene: Ift140
Official Full Name: intraflagellar transport 140provided by MGI
Gene Summary: Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium organization; embryonic organ development; and regionalization. Located in cytoskeleton and photoreceptor cell cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle A. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; bone; eye; heart; and perichondrium. Used to study asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 1 and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 9 with or without polydactyly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 9 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human IFT140 (intraflagellar transport 140).

Ift140 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models specifically designed for the study of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and other ciliopathy-related disorders. By creating a targeted disruption in the Ift140 gene, which encodes a protein integral to ciliary function and intracellular transport, these cell lines enable researchers to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cilia-related pathologies.
The primary function of the Ift140 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the disrupted signaling and impaired ciliary motility observed in disease states. The knockout of Ift140 interferes with the assembly and maintenance of cilia, leading to observable phenotypic changes, such as alterations in cell motility and signaling pathways. This provides researchers with a powerful tool for in vitro studies that facilitate the understanding of disease progression and potential therapeutic interventions.
The scientific importance of these cell lines is evident in their applications across both research and clinical settings. They serve as a vital platform for drug screening and development, as researchers can assess the efficacy of candidate compounds in restoring ciliary function. Furthermore, these cell lines are valuable for elucidating the genetic and biochemical pathways affected in ciliopathies, potentially leading to novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Compared to traditional wild-type cell lines, Ift140 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages in specificity and relevance, providing more accurate models for studying ciliary disorders. Their unique characterization allows for comprehensive phenotypic and genotypic analyses that are critically important for advancing the understanding of complex disease mechanisms.
Researchers and clinicians will find these cell lines invaluable for their potential to unveil new insights into ciliary biology and its implications in human diseases. By leveraging these models, users can develop targeted therapies that address the root causes of ciliopathies, improving patient outcomes.
