KIF7 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KIF7

Official Full Name: kinesin family member 7provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cilia-associated protein belonging to the kinesin family. This protein plays a role in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway through the regulation of GLI transcription factors. It functions as a negative regulator of the SHH pathway by preventing inappropriate activation of GLI2 in the absence of ligand, and as a positive regulator by preventing the processing of GLI3 into its repressor form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various ciliopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Background

KIF7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a groundbreaking advancement in genetic research, specifically designed to aid in the functional analysis of the KIF7 gene, which encodes a kinesin motor protein implicated in various cellular processes, including cilia formation, Hedgehog signaling, and cell division. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines have undergone precise genetic modifications, resulting in the complete knockout of the KIF7 gene, making them an invaluable tool for dissecting the gene's roles and significance in both physiological and pathological states.

The primary function of KIF7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide a cellular platform for researchers to investigate the downstream effects of KIF7 deficiency. The absence of the KIF7 protein allows for comprehensive studies into cellular behaviors such as migration, differentiation, and signal transduction pathways that are influenced by cilia. This allows for not only basic research to underpin our understanding of cellular mechanisms but also provides insights into diseases linked to dysfunctional cilia, such as polycystic kidney disease and primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Scientifically, the implications of this product extend to both research laboratories and clinical settings, where the KIF7 gene is of interest for its potential therapeutic targets. By using these knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the roles of KIF7 in disease mechanisms, potentially leading to novel interventions or drug design that specifically target malfunctions in these pathways.

What distinguishes KIF7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines from other genetic models is their high efficiency and specificity. Compared to traditional gene silencing techniques such as RNA interference, which can lead to off-target effects, our engineered cell lines provide a reliable and consistent model for gene function studies. This precision reduces experimental variability, enhancing the reproducibility of results crucial for publication and further studies.

The value of KIF7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is particularly significant for researchers focusing on genetics, cellular biology, and developmental biology, as they furnish a streamlined approach to exploring complex biological systems. Furthermore, with the rising necessity for reproducibility in scientific research, offering a genetically validated model can give researchers confidence in their findings.

Partnering with a company that specializes in the design and production of precision genetic models, we pride ourselves on our commitment to advancing scientific understanding. Our expertise in gene editing ensures that each KIF7 Gene Knockout Cell Line is developed with the highest standards of accuracy, providing robust tools for researchers and clinicians alike to drive innovation and discovery in their respective fields.
