Gene: IGFBP1
Official Full Name: insulin like growth factor binding protein 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP N-terminal domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. The encoded protein, mainly expressed in the liver, circulates in the plasma and binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II, prolonging their half-lives and altering their interaction with cell surface receptors. This protein is important in cell migration and metabolism. Low levels of this protein may be associated with impaired glucose tolerance, vascular disease and hypertension in human patients.

IGFBP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized mammalian cell lines engineered to lack the Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 (IGFBP1) gene. This gene plays a crucial role in the regulation of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which are involved in cell growth, differentiation, and metabolic processes. By knocking out the IGFBP1 gene, researchers can investigate the downstream effects of IGF signaling in a controlled environment, providing valuable insights into a variety of physiological and pathological conditions.
These knockout cell lines display altered IGF signaling pathways, allowing scientists to explore the specific contributions of IGFBP1 to cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolic regulation. Understanding the role of IGFBP1 can illuminate its impact on diseases such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes, making these cell lines critical tools for both basic and applied research.
One of the key advantages of using IGFBP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their ability to provide a highly consistent and reproducible model for studying the role of IGF signaling. Unlike alternative methods, such as transient gene silencing or pharmacological inhibition of IGF pathways, these knockout lines ensure sustained gene inactivation, thus offering more reliable data over extended experimentation periods. Additionally, the ability to utilize these cell lines in various culture conditions enhances their versatility for a broad range of experimental designs.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of IGFBP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential to uncover therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with IGF-related conditions. By engaging with these specialized tools, users can contribute to advancements in understanding metabolic dysregulation and cancer biology.
