KIF27 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KIF27

Official Full Name: kinesin family member 27provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the KIF27 (kinesin 4) sub-family of the mammalian kinesin family. The gene is an ortholog of the Drosophila Cos2 gene, which plays an important role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal motor domain which includes nucleotide-binding and microtubule-interacting regions, a stalk domain containing a predicted coiled coil motif and a C-terminal tail domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. Pseudogenes associated with this gene are located on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Background

KIF27 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a groundbreaking tool in molecular biology, specifically designed to facilitate the study of kinesin-like protein 27 (KIF27), a motor protein involved in essential cellular processes such as mitosis and cilium assembly. These engineered cell lines have undergone precision gene editing to create specific knockouts of the KIF27 gene, allowing researchers to investigate the functional consequences of its absence on cell behavior, signaling pathways, and related phenotypes.

The primary function of KIF27 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to elucidate the role of the KIF27 protein in various cellular mechanisms. By creating a controlled environment where KIF27 is not expressed, researchers can observe alterations in cellular processes, including cell division, intracellular transport, and the formation of primary cilia, which are critical to many cellular signaling pathways. This knockout model serves not only as an experimental tool but also aids in understanding the pathological implications of KIF27 dysregulation in diseases such as cancer and ciliopathies.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both basic and translational research. In academic settings, they enable detailed studies of gene function and interactions within cellular pathways. In clinical applications, understanding the role of KIF27 may lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for diseases where ciliary dysfunction is implicated.

Compared to conventional methods such as RNA interference or overexpression systems, KIF27 gene knockout cell lines provide a more permanent and specific means of gene alteration. This specificity minimizes off-target effects and allows for the generation of stable variants that can be expanded and utilized in long-term experiments.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the value of KIF27 gene knockout cell lines lies in their unique ability to create in-depth, reproducible analyses of KIF27’s functions. This can lead to significant advancements in our understanding of fundamental biological processes and potential therapeutic avenues.
