KCNN1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KCNN1

Official Full Name: potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Action potentials in vertebrate neurons are followed by an afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that may persist for several seconds and may have profound consequences for the firing pattern of the neuron. Each component of the AHP is kinetically distinct and is mediated by different calcium-activated potassium channels. The protein encoded by this gene is activated before membrane hyperpolarization and is thought to regulate neuronal excitability by contributing to the slow component of synaptic AHP. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein that forms a voltage-independent calcium-activated channel with three other calmodulin-binding subunits. This gene is a member of the KCNN family of potassium channel genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

KCNN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are meticulously engineered models where the KCNN1 gene, known for encoding the ion channel protein SK4 (also referred to as KCa3.1), has been systematically inactivated or removed. This knockout strategy allows for precise examination of the functional roles that KCNN1 plays in various cellular processes, including ion homeostasis, signal transduction, and regulation of cellular excitability. By eliminating the expression of KCNN1, researchers can investigate the associated physiological impacts, such as alterations in cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis, under various experimental conditions.

The primary mechanisms of action in these knockout cell lines involve the disruption of the calcium-activated potassium currents mediated by SK4 channels, which are critical in many cell types including lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. As a result, these models provide invaluable insights into the ion channel's involvement in key pathophysiological conditions such as hypertension, inflammation, and certain neurodegenerative disorders.

In research and clinical settings, KCNN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are essential tools that enable the elucidation of disease mechanisms, drug responsiveness, and potential therapeutic targets related to ion channel dysfunction. Their reliability in generating reproducible results makes them a preferred choice for scientists investigating ionic regulation and its implications in disease contexts.

What sets our KCNN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is the careful validation and biocompatibility they offer. Backed by rigorous genotyping and phenotypic characterization, our cell lines guarantee that researchers are working with a product that is both functional and reflective of the native biological context. Additionally, the flexibility in experimental design allows for customization that can accommodate various assay conditions.

This product is invaluable for researchers and clinicians seeking to advance their understanding of cellular signaling pathways and their impact on health and disease. With our expertise in genetic engineering and commitment to quality, our company stands ready to support the scientific community with advanced biological models designed for excellence and innovation.
