Gene: KRT19
Official Full Name: keratin 19provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. The type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains. Unlike its related family members, this smallest known acidic cytokeratin is not paired with a basic cytokeratin in epithelial cells. It is specifically expressed in the periderm, the transiently superficial layer that envelopes the developing epidermis. The type I cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21.

KRT19 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models created through targeted gene editing techniques to eliminate the expression of the keratin 19 (KRT19) gene. KRT19 is a member of the intermediate filament protein family, primarily observed in epithelial cells, and plays a crucial role in maintaining structural integrity and cellular resilience. By enabling researchers to study the effects of KRT19 loss, these knockout cell lines serve as effective tools for investigating cellular behavior, signaling pathways, and gene interactions under varying stress conditions.
The key function of KRT19 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to provide a platform for scientists to delve into the intricacies of epithelial cell biology and to explore the role of keratins in health and disease. The mechanisms include alterations in cytoskeletal architecture leading to changes in cell morphology, migration, and proliferation patterns. Their use extends to examining the impact on carcinogenesis, particularly in the context of epithelial cancers, where KRT19 has been proposed as a biomarker for prognosis.
The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their applications in basic research, drug development, and potentially regenerative medicine. In clinical settings, understanding KRT19's role may help identify new therapeutic targets and strategies for managing epithelial tumors. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to assess drug responsiveness, elucidate cancer pathways, and explore cell-cell interactions.
What sets KRT19 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their precision; the targeted knockout approach ensures a complete loss of gene function, providing clearer insights than conventional knockdown methods that may leave residual expression. Additionally, they are crafted under rigorous quality control standards to guarantee high reproducibility and consistency in experimental outcomes.
By incorporating KRT19 Gene Knockout Cell Lines into their research, scientists and clinicians are equipped with an indispensable resource that enhances the understanding of epithelial biology and its pathologies, ultimately contributing to the advancement of targeted therapies. Our company prides itself on being a leader in the field of cellular models, leveraging cutting-edge technology and expert knowledge to deliver products that empower the scientific community.
