LRP6 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: LRP6

Official Full Name: LDL receptor related protein 6provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene family. LDL receptors are transmembrane cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of lipoprotein and protein ligands. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a receptor or, with Frizzled, a co-receptor for Wnt and thereby transmits the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling cascade. Through its interaction with the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling cascade this gene plays a role in the regulation of cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration and the development of many cancer types. This protein undergoes gamma-secretase dependent RIP- (regulated intramembrane proteolysis) processing but the precise locations of the cleavage sites have not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

Background

LRP6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in the study of cellular signaling pathways, particularly in the context of Wnt signaling. LRP6 is a critical co-receptor in the Wnt signaling pathway, which plays pivotal roles in developmental processes, tissue homeostasis, and disease pathogenesis, including cancer. These specifically engineered cell lines enable researchers to investigate the biological roles of LRP6 by creating a complete absence of this gene product, thereby allowing for a robust examination of downstream signaling events and cellular behaviors.

The mechanism by which LRP6 regulates Wnt signaling involves its ligand binding, leading to receptor phosphorylation and subsequent activation of intracellular signaling cascades. By utilizing LRP6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, scientists can dissect the contributions of LRP6 to various physiological and pathological processes, as well as explore compensatory mechanisms that may emerge in the absence of this receptor. This tool is particularly valuable for elucidating the mechanisms underpinning cell proliferation, differentiation, and stem cell maintenance.

In research and clinical settings, these cell lines are indispensable for understanding not only fundamental biology but also the development of novel therapeutic strategies against diseases characterized by dysregulated Wnt signaling. Compared to other models, such as overexpression systems or wild-type cell lines, the knockout approach offers unparalleled specificity and precision, eliminating confounding effects that could arise from residual gene activity.

The unique selling points of LRP6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their ability to streamline research workflows and provide deeper insights into gene function. Researchers benefit from gaining a clear picture of molecular interactions and pathways, greatly accelerating the pace of their discoveries. This product is particularly valuable for scientists investigating cancer, regenerative medicine, and developmental biology.
