KIF21A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KIF21A

Official Full Name: kinesin family member 21Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the KIF4 subfamily of kinesin-like motor proteins. The encoded protein is characterized by an N-terminal motor domain a coiled-coil stalk domain and a C-terminal WD-40 repeat domain. This protein may be involved in microtubule dependent transport. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles-1. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Background

KIF21A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have been engineered to specifically disrupt the KIF21A gene, which encodes a kinesin motor protein vital for organelle transport within cells. By utilizing advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines provide researchers with robust tools for studying the implications of KIF21A deficiency, particularly in the context of neurological disorders, as abnormalities in this gene have been implicated in neurodevelopmental conditions such as spastic paraplegia.

The primary mechanism by which KIF21A gene knockout cell lines operate is through the complete removal of KIF21A protein expression. This disruption allows for the analysis of downstream signaling pathways, cytoskeletal organization, and intracellular transport processes that involve KIF21A. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to elucidate the cellular mechanisms that underlie various pathologies, thus paving the way for targeted therapeutic strategies.

The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends to both basic and translational research settings. They serve as critical platforms for drug screening, disease modeling, and pathway analysis, enabling scientists to rigorously interrogate essential cellular processes and identify potential intervention points. Furthermore, KIF21A gene knockout cell lines facilitate the understanding of disease etiology, offering insight into how genetic modifications can lead to cellular dysfunction.

Compared to existing alternatives, our KIF21A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are characterized by high specificity and efficiency in gene editing, achieved through our optimized CRISPR protocols and comprehensive validation processes. Unlike transient gene silencing techniques, these knockout cell lines provide stable expression and long-term availability, making them invaluable for longitudinal studies and complex assays that require consistent baseline conditions.

The value of KIF21A Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide researchers and clinicians with a powerful tool for exploring the underlying mechanisms of disease, enhancing the translational relevance of their findings, and ultimately contributing to the development of novel therapeutic approaches. With our extensive expertise in genetic engineering and a commitment to quality, we offer researchers a trusted source for high-quality biological products that empower scientific discovery.
