MAP2K4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MAP2K4

Official Full Name: mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. Members of this family act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation, and development. They form a three-tiered signaling module composed of MAPKKKs, MAPKKs, and MAPKs. This protein is phosphorylated at serine and threonine residues by MAPKKKs and subsequently phosphorylates downstream MAPK targets at threonine and tyrosine residues. A similar protein in mouse has been reported to play a role in liver organogenesis. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome X. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Background

MAP2K4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a groundbreaking tool for researchers investigating the role of the MAP2K4 gene in various biological processes and disease states. These cell lines are genetically modified to specifically disrupt the MAP2K4 gene, which encodes for the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MAP2K4), a crucial component in multiple cellular signaling pathways, particularly those regulating stress responses, differentiation, and proliferation. The knockout mechanism was achieved through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring precise alteration of the gene’s functionality without unintended mutations in the genome.

The key functions of MAP2K4 include its role in the JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) and p38 MAPK pathways, which are implicated in cellular responses to stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. By using these knockout cell lines, researchers can explore the downstream effects of MAP2K4 loss, enabling the study of its involvement in tumorigenesis, neurodegenerative conditions, and immune response modulation. Such insights are invaluable in preclinical research, particularly when validating drug targets or understanding disease mechanisms.

Compared to wild-type cell lines, MAP2K4 knockout models offer unique advantages, including the ability to clearly delineate the consequences of MAP2K4 absence on cellular phenotypes. This specificity allows for high-resolution experiments that effectively inform therapeutic strategies or the development of novel drugs. Furthermore, the MAP2K4 knockout cell lines are compatible with various assays, making them versatile tools for both fundamental research and clinical applications.

For researchers who are dedicated to dissecting the physiological and pathophysiological roles of MAP2K4, these knockout cell lines are indispensable. Our commitment to providing high-quality, genetically engineered cell models demonstrates our expertise in biological product development. We strive to equip scientists with the tools they need to deepen their understanding of complex biological systems, ultimately paving the way for innovative solutions in health and medicine.
