LOXL4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: LOXL4

Official Full Name: lysyl oxidase like 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lysyl oxidase gene family. The prototypic member of the family is essential to the biogenesis of connective tissue, encoding an extracellular copper-dependent amine oxidase that catalyses the first step in the formation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. A highly conserved amino acid sequence at the C-terminus end appears to be sufficient for amine oxidase activity, suggesting that each family member may retain this function. The N-terminus is poorly conserved and may impart additional roles in developmental regulation, senescence, tumor suppression, cell growth control, and chemotaxis to each member of the family.

Background

LOXL4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are meticulously engineered cellular models designed to investigate the role of the lysyl oxidase-like 4 (LOXL4) gene, a critical player in extracellular matrix remodeling and associated developmental and pathological processes. These knockout cell lines have been crafted through precise gene-editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, which effectively disable the LOXL4 gene, allowing researchers to study the resulting phenotypic changes in a controlled environment.

The primary function of LOXL4 involves the oxidative deamination of lysine side chains in collagen and elastin, contributing significantly to tissue integrity and elastic fiber formation. By utilizing LOXL4 knockout cell lines, scientists can elucidate the precise biological pathways influenced by LOXL4, including its implications in cancer metastasis, fibrosis, and cardiovascular diseases. This research is vital for understanding how LOXL4 contributes to tissue dynamics under both normal and pathological conditions.

The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends to various applications in basic research, drug discovery, and therapeutic development, establishing them as indispensable tools in exploring novel therapeutic targets. Compared to alternative models, LOXL4 knockout cell lines offer enhanced specificity and a reduced risk of off-target effects, allowing for more reliable conclusions in experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians, the ability to dissect the role of LOXL4 in neuronal processes, inflammatory responses, and tumor microenvironments holds immense value, fostering the identification of biomarkers and therapeutic interventions. Our company specializes in developing high-quality biological products, and our LOXL4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent our commitment to providing exceptional resources to advance scientific inquiry and innovation.
