Gene: KRAS
Official Full Name: KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene, a Kirsten ras oncogene homolog from the mammalian ras gene family, encodes a protein that is a member of the small GTPase superfamily. A single amino acid substitution is responsible for an activating mutation. The transforming protein that results is implicated in various malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenoma, ductal carcinoma of the pancreas and colorectal carcinoma. Alternative splicing leads to variants encoding two isoforms that differ in the C-terminal region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

KRAS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models lacking the KRAS gene, which encodes a critical protein involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and division. These cell lines are instrumental for researchers aiming to explore the mechanistic roles of KRAS in various diseases, particularly in cancer, where mutations in this gene often lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor development. The knockout mechanism utilizes CRISPR-Cas9 technology to induce targeted gene disruption, enabling precise studies of downstream effects and compensatory pathways in different cellular environments.
The primary function of KRAS Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the investigation of therapeutic strategies targeting KRAS-related oncogenic signaling. By providing a controlled environment where KRAS is absent, researchers can assess the impact on cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis. This makes these cell lines invaluable not just for basic research but also for the development of novel anti-cancer therapies, particularly in targeting KRAS mutations that are notoriously difficult to inhibit with conventional small molecules.
The scientific importance of KRAS Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into translational research, where they serve as a model system for evaluating the efficacy of experimental drugs and gene-editing therapies. Unlike existing alternatives, these knockout lines provide a clearer understanding of KRAS’s role without the confounding effects of residual activity, offering a more accurate platform for studying KRAS-dependent pathways in tumor biology.
Researchers and clinicians are increasingly prioritizing the utility of these cell lines, as they enhance the discovery process for new therapeutic avenues against KRAS-driven malignancies. Moreover, our company’s expertise in advanced genetic engineering techniques ensures that our KRAS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are of the highest quality, thoroughly validated, and reliably reproducible. By integrating these cell lines into their research, users will not only advance our understanding of cancer biology but also contribute to the development of groundbreaking treatments, making our product a cornerstone in the fight against KRAS-related tumors.
