Gene: KPNA1
Official Full Name: karyopherin subunit alpha 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells is mediated by the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which consists of 60-100 proteins. Small molecules (up to 70 kD) can pass through the nuclear pore by nonselective diffusion while larger molecules are transported by an active process. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the importin alpha family, and is involved in nuclear protein import. This protein interacts with the recombination activating gene 1 (RAG1) protein and is a putative substrate of the RAG1 ubiquitin ligase. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

KPNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models specifically designed to study the function and implications of the KPNA1 gene, which encodes for Karyopherin Alpha 1, a critical protein involved in the transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. These knockout cell lines lack functional KPNA1, allowing researchers to explore the cellular pathways, gene expression patterns, and phenotypic characteristics that are influenced by its absence.
The principal mechanism of action of KPNA1 involves its role in nuclear transport, where it binds to cargo proteins and facilitates their movement through the nuclear pore complex. By employing KPNA1 gene knockout models, researchers can dissect the pathways that rely on this transport system, enhancing the understanding of processes like signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis.
The scientific significance of KPNA1 Knockout Cell Lines lies in their versatility and broad applicability across various research areas, including cancer biology, neurobiology, and virology. Their use can uncover the role of KPNA1 in tumorigenesis, as well as its potential as a therapeutic target, paving the way for innovative treatment strategies.
Compared to traditional methods of studying gene function, such as RNA interference or overexpression systems, these knockout cell lines offer a more stable and permanent alteration, enabling long-term studies of gene function without the variable expression levels.
For researchers and clinicians focused on cellular mechanisms and therapeutic targets, KPNA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide an invaluable tool. Their precision in expressing gene loss facilitates deeper insights into the biological implications of KPNA1 and its associated pathways.
