Gene: KPNA4
Official Full Name: karyopherin subunit alpha 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The nuclear import of karyophilic proteins is directed by short amino acid sequences termed nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Karyopherins, or importins, are cytoplasmic proteins that recognize NLSs and dock NLS-containing proteins to the nuclear pore complex. The protein encoded by this gene shares the sequence similarity with Xenopus importin-alpha and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Srp1. This protein is found to interact with the NLSs of DNA helicase Q1 and SV40 T antigen. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

KPNA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to provide a platform for studying the functional roles of the KPNA4 gene, which encodes for the karyopherin alpha 4 protein, a critical component involved in the nuclear import of proteins. By disrupting the expression of this gene through targeted genetic knockout techniques, researchers are equipped to assess the consequences of KPNA4 deficiency on cellular processes, including signal transduction, gene expression regulation, and cell cycle progression.
The key function of these cell lines lies in their ability to mimic the loss-of-function scenario of KPNA4 in various cellular contexts. Upon knockout of the KPNA4 gene, intracellular pathways that depend on nuclear transport are perturbed, allowing researchers to elucidate the role of KPNA4 in physiological and pathological conditions. This is particularly significant in cancer research, where KPNA4 has been implicated in tumor progression and metastasis, as well as in studies exploring viral infections, given its role in the nuclear import of viral proteins.
The scientific importance of KPNA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into various research domains, including molecular biology, pharmacology, and gene therapy. They provide researchers with the capability to explore novel therapeutic strategies that target the nuclear transport pathways, offering insights that may lead to the development of innovative treatments for complex diseases.
Unique selling points of these knockout cell lines include their high specificity and the reliability of the knockout effect, which is validated through genomic and expression analyses. Compared to alternative cellular models, these lines offer an unparalleled level of control over experimental conditions, enabling a more precise dissection of KPNA4 functions.
