Gene: MAPK8
Official Full Name: mitogen-activated protein kinase 8provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases 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. This kinase is activated by various cell stimuli, and targets specific transcription factors, and thus mediates immediate-early gene expression in response to cell stimuli. The activation of this kinase by tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is found to be required for TNF-alpha induced apoptosis. This kinase is also involved in UV radiation induced apoptosis, which is thought to be related to cytochrom c-mediated cell death pathway. Studies of the mouse counterpart of this gene suggested that this kinase play a key role in T cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

MAPK8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge tool in molecular biology research, specifically designed to allow scientists to investigate the functional roles of the MAPK8 gene, also known as JNK1 (c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1). These engineered cell lines have undergone precise CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing to create complete loss-of-function models of the MAPK8 gene, enabling detailed studies into its contributions to various cellular processes, including stress response, apoptosis, differentiation, and signaling pathways.
The key function of these cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate the exploration of JNK1's role in regulating critical biological responses. By observing the phenotypic and transcriptomic changes that result from the knockout of the MAPK8 gene, researchers can better delineate its involvement in pathological conditions such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, the cell lines serve as a powerful platform for the screening of potential therapeutic agents aimed at modulating the JNK signaling pathway.
Scientifically, these knockout cell lines hold significant importance as they enable reproducible experimental studies in both basic and translational research, providing a reliable model for understanding gene function and developing targeted therapies. Compared to traditional methods of gene silencing, such as siRNA or shRNA, MAPK8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a more durable and specific approach, resulting in stable gene inactivation without the off-target effects commonly associated with RNA interference techniques.
For researchers and clinicians, the MAPK8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide immense value by streamlining the investigation of gene function, thereby accelerating the discovery of novel pathways and therapeutic targets. These cell lines are particularly beneficial for those focused on drug discovery, disease modeling, and treatment development, as they offer a straightforward and effective means to assess the implications of JNK signaling dysregulation.
