Gene: KATNA1
Official Full Name: katanin catalytic subunit A1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Microtubules, polymers of alpha and beta tubulin subunits, form the mitotic spindle of a dividing cell and help to organize membranous organelles during interphase. Katanin is a heterodimer that consists of a 60 kDa ATPase (p60 subunit A 1) and an 80 kDa accessory protein (p80 subunit B 1). The p60 subunit acts to sever and disassemble microtubules, while the p80 subunit targets the enzyme to the centrosome. This gene encodes the p80 subunit. This protein is a member of the AAA family of ATPases. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

KATNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically targeting the KATNA1 gene, which encodes for a crucial protein involved in various cellular processes, including microtubule dynamics and cell division. By utilizing the CRISPR-Cas9 technology for precise gene editing, these knockout cell lines effectively disrupt the normal expression of KATNA1, enabling researchers to investigate the gene's functional roles comprehensively.
The primary mechanism of action involves the creation of targeted mutations in the KATNA1 gene, resulting in the loss of protein function. This manipulation allows for detailed studies into the implications of KATNA1 deficiency on cellular behavior, including effects on cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and intracellular signaling pathways. Researchers can leverage these cell lines to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms linked to diseases such as cancer, where aberrations in cell division and microtubule stability are critical.
The scientific significance of KATNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their utility for fundamental research and potential therapeutic development. They serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery, targeted gene therapy research, and the elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying various diseases. The use of these well-characterized cell lines in clinical and translational research allows for reproducible results, making them essential for advancing our understanding of the biological implications of KATNA1.
Compared to alternative models, such as traditional knockdown strategies or full organism models, KATNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer several advantages. They provide a controlled environment for studying the effects of gene disruption without the confounding factors present in whole organisms. Additionally, the robustness and specificity of the CRISPR-Cas9 technology minimize off-target effects, ensuring that results are both reliable and relevant.
For researchers, clinicians, and biotechnology companies, the KATNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable resource for innovative scientific inquiry. Their application in experimental setups not only facilitates the exploration of genetic contributions to health and disease but also enhances the potential for developing novel therapeutics tailored to gene-related conditions.
