Gene: KRT32
Official Full Name: keratin 32provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type I hair keratin, it is an acidic protein which heterodimerizes with type II keratins to form hair and nails. The type I hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21 and have the same direction of transcription. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

KRT32 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to lack the expression of the keratin 32 (KRT32) gene. Keratins are integral components of the epithelial cytoskeleton, playing crucial roles in cellular structure and function. The KRT32 gene knockout enhances our understanding of keratin-related biological processes and pathologies, particularly within epithelial tissues, by providing a model system where the effects of the absence of KRT32 can be thoroughly investigated.
These cell lines function by employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology to precisely target and disable the KRT32 gene, resulting in a functional knockout. Researchers are able to observe the resultant phenotypic changes and altered signaling pathways that emerge from this genetic modification. The KRT32 knockout offers valuable insights into cellular responses, differentiation, and the mechanisms underlying various diseases, including skin disorders and epithelial cancers.
The scientific importance of KRT32 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into both basic research and clinical applications. They are vital for studying the roles of keratin in cellular integrity, wound healing, and the development of therapeutic approaches in regenerative medicine. Furthermore, these cell lines can be used for drug testing and the assessment of targeted therapies, making them an essential tool for translational research.
Compared to traditional wild-type cell lines, KRT32 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more refined model for studying the role of keratin in physiological and pathological conditions. Their precision and specificity allow researchers to dissect complex biological interactions that would otherwise be confounded by the presence of functional KRT32.
The value of these cell lines to researchers and clinicians lies in their ability to yield high-quality data that can advance understanding of keratin biology and contribute to the development of targeted treatments. Moreover, our company is committed to providing high-quality biological tools backed by expertise in genetic engineering and extensive support for optimal experimental design and execution. This dedication ensures that researchers have the resources they need to succeed in their investigations.
