Gene: MDGA1
Official Full Name: MAM domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein that is expressed predominantly in the developing nervous system. In addition to possessing several cell adhesion molecule-like domains, the mature protein has six Ig-like domains, a single fibronectin type III domain, a MAM domain and a C-terminal GPI-anchoring site. Studies in other mammals suggest this protein plays a role in cell adhesion, migration, and axon guidance and, in the developing brain, neuronal migration. In humans, this gene is associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]

MDGA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are sophisticated biological tools designed for the study of the MDGA1 gene, which encodes a member of the IgLON family of cell adhesion molecules. These knockout cell lines are created using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology to facilitate targeted gene disruption, thus allowing researchers to explore the functional implications of the loss of MDGA1 expression in various cellular contexts.
The primary function of these cell lines is to provide a controlled environment for assessing the roles of MDGA1 in cell adhesion, neuronal signaling, and synaptic formation. By eliminating the MDGA1 gene, these cell lines enable a clear observation of cellular behaviors and molecular interactions that are altered in its absence. This mechanistic understanding is critical for deciphering the gene's potential contributions to neurodevelopmental processes and diseases.
In scientific research, MDGA1 knockout cell lines hold significant importance for investigating neurological conditions and synaptic pathologies. They serve as invaluable models for elucidating the molecular underpinnings of disorders such as autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia, where cell adhesion dynamics are compromised. Employing these cell lines in drug discovery and pharmacological studies further supports translational research efforts aimed at developing therapeutic interventions.
Compared to traditional knockout methods, MDGA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced specificity and efficiency through precise genome editing, ensuring a complete null phenotype without off-target effects. This precision reduces unwanted variability in experimental outcomes, making the results more reliable. Additionally, these cell lines can be readily adapted to various experimental formats, which supports diverse applications, from basic biology to clinical research.
Researchers and clinicians will find immense value in utilizing these cell lines for their high level of fidelity in studies related to gene function and disease modeling. By enabling more accurate predictions and hypotheses testing in cellular biology, they are indispensable in advancing our understanding of complex biological systems.
