Gene: KRT80
Official Full Name: keratin 80provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into epithelial keratins and hair keratins. This gene's expression profile shows that it encodes a type II epithelial keratin, although structurally the encoded protein is more like a type II hair keratin. This protein is involved in cell differentiation, localizing near desmosomal plaques in earlier stages of differentiation but then dispersing throughout the cytoplasm in terminally differentiating cells. The type II keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13. Two transcript variants encoding two different fully functional isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

KRT80 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically engineered to lack the expression of the keratin 80 (KRT80) gene, a member of the keratin family crucial for maintaining cellular structure and function in epithelial tissues. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines enable researchers to study the implications of KRT80 deficiency on cellular behavior, tissue integrity, and disease mechanisms, particularly in skin and other epithelial-related conditions.
The primary function of these cell lines is to serve as a versatile tool for elucidating KRT80's role in cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. The knockout mechanism disrupts the typical keratin cytoskeleton, providing insights into the alterations in cell morphology and adhesion properties. This understanding is critical for investigating keratin-related disorders, including certain skin diseases and cancers, thus facilitating tailored therapeutic interventions.
The scientific importance of KRT80 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their utility in both research and clinical applications. In laboratory settings, these models enable high-throughput screening of drugs and gene therapies, while in clinical contexts, they can support the development of targeted therapies for conditions where KRT80 expression is aberrant. By offering a clear view of the gene's functional consequences, these cell lines advance the understanding of epithelial biology and disease.
One of the unique selling points of KRT80 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their specificity and reliability. Compared to traditional knockout methods, which may result in off-target effects, our CRISPR-Cas9 approach ensures precision and reproducibility, making them more advantageous for experimental rigor. Additionally, the availability of these cell lines in various backgrounds enhances their adaptability for diverse research applications.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, KRT80 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable asset in the pursuit of novel insights and therapeutic strategies. Their role in unraveling the complexities of epithelial function and pathology positions them as a cornerstone for innovative approaches to treatment.
