LRP5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: LRP5

Official Full Name: LDL receptor related protein 5provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transmembrane low-density lipoprotein receptor that binds and internalizes ligands in the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. This protein also acts as a co-receptor with Frizzled protein family members for transducing signals by Wnt proteins and was originally cloned on the basis of its association with type 1 diabetes mellitus in humans. This protein plays a key role in skeletal homeostasis and many bone density related diseases are caused by mutations in this gene. Mutations in this gene also cause familial exudative vitreoretinopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Background

LRP5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models that have undergone targeted gene disruption of the Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 5 (LRP5) gene. This gene is crucial for the regulation of bone density and plays a significant role in the Wnt signaling pathway, which is vital for many developmental processes. By knocking out the LRP5 gene, these cell lines facilitate the exploration of its function in osteogenesis, signal transduction, and cellular interactions within mammalian systems.

The primary mechanism of action of these knockout cell lines involves the absence of the LRP5 protein, which leads to altered cellular responses to Wnt ligands, consequently impacting downstream signaling pathways. This allows researchers to study not only the direct effects of LRP5 deficiency on cell behavior, proliferation, and differentiation but also the broader implications on bone metabolism and regenerative medicine.

Scientifically, the availability of LRP5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines has introduced a valuable tool for research in areas such as osteoporosis, fractures healing, and other metabolic bone diseases. In clinical settings, insights garnered through the use of these models hold promise for the development of targeted therapies that can mitigate or reverse pathological bone loss.

Compared to traditional cell lines, our LRP5 knockout models provide superior specificity and relevance, enabling more precise experimental design and yielding highly reproducible results. Researchers in the fields of molecular biology, pharmacology, and genetics will find significant value in the high-performance attributes of these cell lines, which are validated for robust signaling assays and treatment responses.

In summary, the LRP5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines not only fill a critical gap in the availability of specialized research tools but also exemplify our commitment to advancing molecular and cellular biology. Our company is dedicated to providing high-quality biological products that empower researchers and clinicians to achieve breakthroughs in their studies.
