IGFBP7 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IGFBP7

Official Full Name: insulin like growth factor binding protein 7provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein (IGFBP) family. IGFBPs bind IGFs with high affinity, and regulate IGF availability in body fluids and tissues and modulate IGF binding to its receptors. This protein binds IGF-I and IGF-II with relatively low affinity, and belongs to a subfamily of low-affinity IGFBPs. It also stimulates prostacyclin production and cell adhesion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene, and one variant has been associated with retinal arterial macroaneurysm (PMID:21835307).

Background

IGFBP7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially developed cellular models that have been engineered to lack the Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7 (IGFBP7) gene. This gene plays a crucial role in modulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathways, which are integral to various cellular processes including growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the specific contributions of IGFBP7 to these processes, providing insights into the biological underpinnings of diseases such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and age-related conditions.

The key function of IGFBP7 involves its regulatory role in binding IGFs, thereby influencing their bioavailability and activity. In these knockout cell lines, the absence of IGFBP7 allows for the assessment of altered cellular responses under IGF stimulation, revealing the protein’s contributions to cell proliferation and survival dynamics. These particular cell lines serve as invaluable tools in research focused on understanding tumor cell behavior, therapeutic resistance, and metabolic regulation.

In the context of scientific importance, IGFBP7 has been implicated in several pathophysiological conditions, making these knockout cell lines essential for both basic research and translational applications. They can facilitate drug screening efforts, elucidate the mechanisms underlying IGFBP7-related diseases, and assist in the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Unlike traditional cell lines, our IGFBP7 Gene Knockout models offer a unique approach by providing a precise evaluation of gene function without confounding influences from the wild-type protein. This specificity enables researchers and clinicians to derive more accurate experimental outcomes and enhance the translational relevance of their findings.

For researchers and clinicians seeking to unravel the complex interactions within cellular signaling pathways, our IGFBP7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical resource. They allow for higher accuracy in experimental designs and provide sound methodologies for exploring new hypotheses.

With extensive experience in producing high-fidelity biological models, our company is committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the scientific community, ensuring researchers have the tools necessary to advance their studies and improve patient outcomes.
