LIFR Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: LIFR

Official Full Name: LIF receptor subunit alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. This protein combines with a high-affinity converter subunit, gp130, to form a receptor complex that mediates the action of the leukemia inhibitory factor, a polyfunctional cytokine that is involved in cellular differentiation, proliferation and survival in the adult and the embryo. Mutations in this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 2, a disease belonging to the group of the bent-bone dysplasias. A translocation that involves the promoter of this gene, t(5;8)(p13;q12) with the pleiomorphic adenoma gene 1, is associated with salivary gland pleiomorphic adenoma, a common type of benign epithelial tumor of the salivary gland. Multiple splice variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2018]

Background

LIFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the gene encoding the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) has been specifically disrupted or knocked out. These cell lines serve as vital tools for researchers investigating the role of LIFR in various biological processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and survival. By eliminating LIFR, scientists can study its functional contributions in cellular contexts that mimic developmental and disease states.

The primary mechanism of these cell lines relies on the targeted deletion of the LIFR gene, leading to the abrogation of its signaling pathways. LIFR is part of the gp130 receptor family, which mediates the effects of LIF, a pleiotropic cytokine involved in numerous signaling cascades, including those regulating stem cell pluripotency and the immune response. By utilizing LIFR knockouts, researchers can elucidate the contributions of LIF signaling to processes like embryogenesis, cancer progression, and immune responses.

From a scientific perspective, the LIFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are instrumental in advancing translational research and therapeutic applications. These models enable investigators to explore pivotal questions regarding LIF signaling, paving the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting LIFR in diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and regenerative medicine.

One of the key advantages of our LIFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their precise genetic modification, which stands in stark contrast to less specific traditional methods such as chemical inhibitors or RNA interference, which may yield off-target effects. By providing a reliable and consistent platform for studying LIFR function, these cell lines significantly enhance experimental accuracy and reproducibility.

For researchers and clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of LIFR's biological significance, our LIFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical resource, enabling enhanced exploration of cytokine signaling's impact on cellular behavior. Our company prides itself on its state-of-the-art gene editing technologies and a commitment to providing high-quality biological products that support groundbreaking research in molecular and cellular biology.
