MAP1LC3A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MAP1LC3A

Official Full Name: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated proteins which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton. MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and multiple light chain subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The expression of variant 1 is suppressed in many tumor cell lines, suggesting that may be involved in carcinogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

Background

MAP1LC3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are innovative biological tools specifically engineered to study the role of the MAP1LC3A gene, which is crucial in autophagy, a cellular degradation process that maintains cellular homeostasis. These knockout cell lines have been developed using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, resulting in precise deletions of the MAP1LC3A gene, allowing researchers to explore its functional significance in various biological contexts.

The key function of the MAP1LC3A gene is its role in autophagosome formation and the autophagy pathway. By generating these knockout cell lines, scientists can investigate the downstream effects of absent MAP1LC3A protein, including its impact on cellular responses to stress, nutrient availability, and the maintenance of intracellular protein quality control. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for elucidating the pathophysiology of diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and infections, where autophagy plays a pivotal role.

The scientific importance of MAP1LC3A knockout cell lines lies in their applications across a wide range of research and clinical settings. Utilizing these models enables researchers to delve deeper into autophagy’s role in diseases, assess potential therapeutic targets, and develop novel treatments that could enhance or inhibit autophagic processes.

Compared to existing alternatives, such as overexpression models or wild-type cell lines, MAP1LC3A knockout cell lines provide a precise method for studying the loss-of-function scenarios of the gene, eliminating confounding effects caused by residual gene activity. The specificity achieved through CRISPR-Cas9 editing increases the reliability of experimental results, thereby enhancing reproducibility and facilitating advanced research inquiries.

For researchers and clinicians, these knockout cell lines offer invaluable insights into fundamental biological processes and the opportunity to drive innovation in drug discovery and therapeutic application. By choosing MAP1LC3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines, users align with a cutting-edge approach that fosters a better understanding of autophagy, ultimately contributing to the development of more effective treatment modalities.
