IFT20 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IFT20

Official Full Name: intraflagellar transport 20provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a intraflagellar transport protein important for intracellular transport. The encoded protein forms part of a complex involved in trafficking of proteins from the Golgi body, including recycling of immune signalling components (Finetti et al., PubMed: 19855387). This gene is part of a complex set of sense-antisense loci that may be co-regulated. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 14.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

Background

IFT20 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cell lines in which the IFT20 gene has been selectively disrupted using advanced genome editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9. IFT20, a gene crucial for intraflagellar transport and ciliary function, plays a pivotal role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and signaling pathways that regulate development and tissue function. By knocking out the IFT20 gene, researchers can study the downstream effects of its absence, providing insights into the biological processes governed by cilia, including cell cycle regulation, sensory signaling, and developmental morphology.

These knockout cell lines are valuable tools for investigating the pathological roles associated with ciliary dysfunction, which is implicated in a range of human diseases, including polycystic kidney disease and ciliopathies. The mechanistic understanding gained from utilizing IFT20 knockout models allows for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and interventions.

Compared to traditional approaches, such as using chemical inhibitors or non-specific genetic manipulation, the IFT20 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a more precise and reproducible model to dissect the function of the IFT20 protein in cellular signaling and disease mechanisms. These lines also facilitate high-throughput screening, making them advantageous for drug discovery efforts.

Researchers and clinicians engaged in studies relating to cell biology, developmental biology, and pathology will find immense value in these well-characterized lines, as they can provide clearer insights into the role of ciliogenesis in health and disease. Our company, with a commitment to driving innovation in biological research tools, ensures that each IFT20 knockout cell line is meticulously validated, supporting your research endeavors with the highest quality and reliability.
