IGF1R Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IGF1R

Official Full Name: insulin like growth factor 1 receptorprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This receptor binds insulin-like growth factor with a high affinity. It has tyrosine kinase activity. The insulin-like growth factor I receptor plays a critical role in transformation events. Cleavage of the precursor generates alpha and beta subunits. It is highly overexpressed in most malignant tissues where it functions as an anti-apoptotic agent by enhancing cell survival. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Background

IGF1R Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models created through the targeted deletion of the Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R) gene. This innovative product allows researchers to study the intricate role of IGF1R in cellular growth, differentiation, and metabolic regulation. The knockout mechanism is typically achieved using advanced gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, ensuring precise alterations in the genome that facilitate insights into receptor function and its downstream signaling pathways.

The primary function of IGF1R involves mediating the physiological effects of IGF-1, which plays a pivotal role in growth and development. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, scientists can investigate the receptor's contribution to oncogenic processes, metabolic disorders, and potential therapeutic targets. This tool is invaluable in the exploration of disease mechanisms, drug responses, and the physiological implications of IGF1R signaling dysregulation in various cancers and metabolic syndromes.

The scientific importance of IGF1R knockout cell lines extends to diverse applications in both research and clinical settings. Researchers can employ these models to evaluate IGF1R-targeted therapies or delineate pathways associated with resistance to treatment. Furthermore, they can be utilized in pharmacological screening, allowing for the identification of novel compounds that may exhibit anti-cancer or metabolic modulation properties.

Compared to traditional cell lines lacking this targeted modification, IGF1R knockout cell lines provide a unique advantage by offering a more controlled experimental setup to isolate the effects of IGF1R absence, which can be crucial for generating reproducible data with high interpretive value. Additionally, the high specificity of the knockout ensures minimal off-target effects, making them superior for intricate signaling analyses.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to explore the complexities of IGF signaling, these knockout cell lines not only enhance experimental accuracy but also drive insights that could lead to breakthroughs in targeted therapies. Our company prides itself on a commitment to quality and scientific innovation, providing cutting-edge biological products tailored to meet the evolving needs of the research community.
