Gene: KCNMB4
Official Full Name: potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M regulatory beta subunit 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: MaxiK channels are large conductance, voltage and calcium-sensitive potassium channels which are fundamental to the control of smooth muscle tone and neuronal excitability. MaxiK channels can be formed by 2 subunits: the pore-forming alpha subunit and the modulatory beta subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is an auxiliary beta subunit which slows activation kinetics, leads to steeper calcium sensitivity, and shifts the voltage range of current activation to more negative potentials than does the beta 1 subunit.

KCNMB4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to specifically disable the KCNMB4 gene, which encodes a regulatory subunit for voltage-gated potassium channels. By disrupting this gene, KCNMB4 knockout cell lines facilitate the study of ion channel physiology and the electrophysiological roles of potassium currents in various cellular processes. This product leverages CRISPR/Cas9 technology to ensure precise gene modification, enabling researchers to create robust and reproducible systems for their investigations.
The key function of KCNMB4 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic pathophysiological conditions, providing insight into how KCNMB4 influences ion homeostasis, cellular excitability, and signal transduction pathways. These models are instrumental in studying diseases linked to dysfunctional potassium channels, such as hypertension, epilepsy, and cardiac arrhythmias, thereby offering valuable information that can guide therapeutic interventions.
Scientifically, the importance of these cell lines cannot be overstated. They serve as powerful tools for drug discovery, toxicity screening, and basic biological research. By allowing researchers to observe the effects of KCNMB4 loss-of-function in a controlled environment, these cell lines can elucidate the mechanisms underlying channelopathies and the potential of pharmacological agents targeting potassium channels.
Our KCNMB4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages over alternative models. They are generated with high efficiency and accuracy, ensuring minimal off-target effects commonly associated with gene editing techniques. Additionally, these models are already validated for use in electrophysiological assays, saving researchers time and resources associated with model development.
For researchers and clinicians focused on cardiac health, neurobiology, or pharmacology, KCNMB4 knockout cell lines are indispensable. They enhance experimental reproducibility and provide deeper insights into ion channel function, making them a valuable component of any laboratory toolkit.
