KRT20 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: KRT20

Official Full Name: keratin 20provided 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. This cytokeratin is a major cellular protein of mature enterocytes and goblet cells and is specifically expressed in the gastric and intestinal mucosa. The type I cytokeratin genes are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

KRT20 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to study the functional role of the KRT20 gene, which encodes keratin 20, a protein predominantly expressed in epithelial tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract. These cell lines are created using robust gene-editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9, enabling precise knockout of the KRT20 gene. By eliminating the expression of keratin 20, researchers can observe phenotypic changes, signaling pathways, and cellular responses to various stimuli, thereby elucidating the gene's involvement in cellular processes and disease mechanisms.

The primary function of KRT20 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to serve as a valuable tool for investigating the role of keratin 20 in both normal physiological and pathological conditions. These cell lines enable researchers to explore the gene's impact on cell morphology, proliferation, differentiation, and response to therapeutic agents. KRT20 has been implicated in cancer biology, particularly in colorectal cancer, making these cell lines essential for developing targeted therapies or for understanding tumorigenesis.

In the realm of scientific research and clinical applications, KRT20 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out for their specific advantages over traditional models. Unlike primary cell cultures or non-specific cell lines, which may have varied genetic backgrounds and responses, these knockout cell lines provide a stable and reproducible system that enables precise investigations of the gene's function. Additionally, they can be utilized in high-throughput screening processes for drug discovery, as well as in mechanistic studies to identify potential therapeutic targets in disease treatment.

For researchers and clinicians focused on cancer biology or epithelial cellular processes, KRT20 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unparalleled insights and a reliable means of exploring the implications of keratin protein functions in disease. By harnessing these innovative models, users can generate high-impact research findings that could lead to breakthroughs in understanding and treating conditions linked to keratin 20 dysregulation.

Our company is dedicated to advancing scientific research through high-quality biological products, and our expertise in gene editing and cell line development ensures that KRT20 Gene Knockout Cell Lines meet the rigorous standards required for impactful research.
