IGFBP3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IGFBP3

Official Full Name: insulin like growth factor binding protein 3provided 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 domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. The protein forms a ternary complex with insulin-like growth factor acid-labile subunit (IGFALS) and either insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I or II. In this form, it circulates in the plasma, prolonging the half-life of IGFs and altering their interaction with cell surface receptors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

IGFBP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a sophisticated tool in molecular biology designed for the study of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), a key regulator of cellular growth and metabolism. These genetically engineered cell lines have undergone precise CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockout of the IGFBP3 gene, enabling researchers to delineate its biological functions and pathways more effectively.

The primary functions of IGFBP3 involve modulating the availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by binding to them, thereby influencing cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. The IGFBP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines allow scientists to investigate the downstream effects of IGFBP3 absence, revealing insights into its role in diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. These cell lines serve as a robust model for understanding signaling cascades that are IGF-dependent as well as those that operate independently of IGFs.

The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines is underscored by their applications in both basic and applied research settings. Clinically, they can be leveraged to explore therapeutic strategies targeting IGFBP3 in various pathologies. In research, these lines facilitate high-throughput screening assays and the identification of novel drug targets, enhancing the efficiency of drug discovery processes.

Compared to conventional approaches, the IGFBP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages such as high specificity and a reduction in off-target effects. Unlike general inhibitors or chemical antagonists, these cell lines yield a clean genetic background that permits unambiguous interpretation of data related to IGFBP3 functions.

For researchers and clinicians alike, utilizing IGFBP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines translates into enhanced investigation capabilities, leading to the potential advancement of knowledge and therapeutic interventions in relevant health conditions. Our company specializes in providing high-quality biological products, and our IGFBP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent our commitment to delivering innovative solutions to meet the ever-growing demands of the research community.
