KLF8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KLF8

Official Full Name: KLF transcription factor 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the Sp/KLF family of transcription factors. Members of this family contain a C-terminal DNA-binding domain with three Kruppel-like zinc fingers. The encoded protein is thought to play an important role in the regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition, a process which occurs normally during development but also during metastasis. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 16. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

Background

KLF8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines in which the KLF8 gene has been deliberately inactivated or deleted through advanced genetic engineering techniques. KLF8, or Krüppel-like factor 8, is a transcription factor implicated in critical cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and response to stress. The knockout of KLF8 allows researchers to study its specific functions, elucidate its role in various biological pathways, and explore its implications in disease mechanisms such as cancer progression and metastasis.

These cell lines operate primarily by removing the transcriptional regulatory effects of KLF8, thus enabling the investigation of downstream targets and related signaling pathways that contribute to cellular behavior. The absence of KLF8 provides a unique opportunity to analyze gene expression profiles and cellular responses without the confounding influence of this factor. This specificity enhances the accuracy of research findings and deepens our understanding of gene regulation in various biological contexts.

The scientific significance of KLF8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both fundamental research and clinical applications, serving as vital tools in the exploration of therapeutic targets, drug responses, and molecular mechanisms underlying diseases. Researchers utilize these models to advance knowledge in cancer biology, regenerative medicine, and developmental studies.

In comparison to traditional gene silencing methods, such as RNA interference, gene knockout through CRISPR/Cas9 technology offers a permanent solution, facilitating long-term studies and reproducibility in experimental outcomes. Moreover, the precise genetic modification ensures high specificity, minimizing off-target effects and enhancing the reliability of data.

Researchers and clinicians can greatly benefit from the KLF8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines due to their capacity to provide insights that advance therapeutic approaches and improve patient outcomes. Our company specializes in providing high-quality, genetically engineered model systems tailored for cutting-edge research, empowering scientists to push the boundaries of biological discovery.
