Gene: LRP1
Official Full Name: LDL receptor related protein 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by furin to generate 515 kDa and 85 kDa subunits that form the mature receptor (PMID: 8546712). This receptor is involved in several cellular processes, including intracellular signaling, lipid homeostasis, and clearance of apoptotic cells. In addition, the encoded protein is necessary for the alpha 2-macroglobulin-mediated clearance of secreted amyloid precursor protein and beta-amyloid, the main component of amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer patients. Expression of this gene decreases with age and has been found to be lower than controls in brain tissue from Alzheimer's disease patients. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

LRP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge tool in the field of molecular biology and genetic research. These cell lines are specifically engineered to silence the Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1 (LRP1) gene, a critical mediator involved in various biological processes, including lipid metabolism, neuronal signaling, and endocytosis. By creating a knockout model, researchers can dissect the functional implications of LRP1 deficiency, facilitating a deeper understanding of its role in disease mechanisms such as atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
The LRP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines operate through targeted gene disruption techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9 or homologous recombination. This precise modification allows for the elimination of LRP1 expression at the genomic level, resulting in a reliable model system that can be used to investigate the receptor's signaling pathways and its impact on cellular function. Furthermore, these knockout lines can be invaluable in drug development studies, where assessing the function of therapeutics in the absence of LRP1 can reveal essential insights into treatment efficacy and safety.
The scientific importance of LRP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated, as they serve critical applications in both basic and translational research. In clinical settings, these models aid in elucidating therapeutic targets for diseases involving lipid dysregulation and other pathologies linked to LRP1 function, thus bridging the gap between laboratory findings and clinical applications.
