KCNK7 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KCNK7

Official Full Name: potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 7provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The product of this gene has not been shown to be a functional channel; however, it may require other non-pore-forming proteins for activity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

KCNK7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models in which the KCNK7 gene, encoding the potassium channel K2P7.1, has been selectively disrupted through advanced gene editing techniques. This innovative biological product provides a crucial tool for studying the physiological roles of KCNK7 in various cellular contexts, particularly in neuronal and glial cells, where it plays a significant role in maintaining ionic balance and responding to changes in extracellular signals.

The primary function of KCNK7 is to facilitate the flow of potassium ions across the cell membrane, thereby contributing to the resting membrane potential and influencing cellular excitability. By generating knockout models, researchers can effectively elucidate the ion channel's contribution to pathophysiological conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases and pain mechanisms. The mechanism of action involves the complete ablation of KCNK7 gene expression, allowing for in-depth studies on how its absence affects cellular function, signaling pathways, and overall cellular homeostasis.

The scientific significance of KCNK7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into both research and clinical settings. In research, these cell lines are essential for dissecting the physiological and biochemical impact of KCNK7, facilitating a deeper understanding of its role in diseases that involve dysregulated potassium ion transit. Clinicians can leverage these models for preclinical studies that examine new therapeutics targeting KCNK7-related pathways, potentially leading to the development of novel treatments.

What sets KCNK7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative products is their high specificity and reliability, as they are created using precise CRISPR/Cas9 methodologies, ensuring efficient and reproducible gene editing. This precision minimizes off-target effects, enhancing the credibility of experimental results. Additionally, researchers benefit from time-efficient protocols and readily available technical support, making these cell lines accessible for a range of applications.

For researchers, clinicians, and laboratories focusing on ion channel biology and associated pathologies, KCNK7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource. They empower scientists to explore uncharted areas of cellular physiology and translational medicine, ultimately bridging the gap between basic and applied biomedical research. Our company specializes in delivering high-quality biological products and expertise, ensuring that our customers have access to cutting-edge resources to advance their scientific endeavors.
