Gene: KLK14
Official Full Name: kallikrein related peptidase 14provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the kallikrein subfamily of serine proteases that have diverse physiological functions such as regulation of blood pressure and desquamation. The altered expression of this gene is implicated in the progression of different cancers including breast and prostate tumors. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate the functional enzyme. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

KLK14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced biological tools designed specifically for the functional study of the human kallikrein-related peptidase 14 (KLK14) gene. These engineered cell lines utilize CRISPR-Cas9 technology to achieve precise gene knockout, enabling researchers to investigate the role of KLK14 in a variety of biological processes such as proteolysis, cell signaling, and cancer progression. By disrupting the KLK14 gene, scientists can observe resultant phenotypic changes, providing critical insights into KLK14’s functions and its implications in health and disease.
The primary mechanism behind these cell lines involves the targeted insertion of double-strand breaks in the KLK14 gene, resulting in a deletion that leads to the loss of gene expression. This precise genetic modification allows researchers to conduct loss-of-function studies, which are essential for unraveling the complexities of gene function and protein interactions.
Scientifically, KLK14 is implicated in various physiological conditions, particularly in tumor progression and inflammation, making these knockout cell lines invaluable in oncology and therapeutic research. Their applications extend to drug discovery and testing, as they facilitate the exploration of potential interventions targeting KLK14 in various pathologies.
One significant advantage of using KLK14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their robustness and reliability compared to traditional gene silencing methods like siRNA or shRNA, which can introduce off-target effects or incomplete knockdown. These cell lines provide a stable genetic alteration, thus enabling consistent experimental outcomes. They also allow for the generation of isogenic models, which are crucial for accurate mechanistic studies.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of KLK14 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to streamline the understanding of KLK14-related pathways, thereby accelerating the development of clinically-relevant therapeutic strategies. By utilizing these cell lines, scientists can forge ahead in their investigations with confidence in the specificity and reliability of their results.
