MDM4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MDM4

Official Full Name: MDM4 regulator of p53provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a nuclear protein that contains a p53 binding domain at the N-terminus and a RING finger domain at the C-terminus, and shows structural similarity to p53-binding protein MDM2. Both proteins bind the p53 tumor suppressor protein and inhibit its activity, and have been shown to be overexpressed in a variety of human cancers. However, unlike MDM2 which degrades p53, this protein inhibits p53 by binding its transcriptional activation domain. This protein also interacts with MDM2 protein via the RING finger domain, and inhibits the latter's degradation. So this protein can reverse MDM2-targeted degradation of p53, while maintaining suppression of p53 transactivation and apoptotic functions. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Background

MDM4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered systems specifically designed to investigate the biological functions of the MDM4 gene, a critical regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor pathway. By disabling the MDM4 gene, these cell lines provide a powerful tool for researchers to study the resulting alterations in cellular responses to stress, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. MDM4 plays a pivotal role in modulating p53 activity, and its knockout enables the activation of p53, leading to various downstream effects on cell cycle progression and cellular senescence.

The functionality of MDM4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines arises from their ability to mimic the in vivo conditions where MDM4 is deleted, allowing for in-depth mechanistic studies. These cell lines serve as invaluable platforms to explore cancer biology, particularly in understanding how MDM4 dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis and cancer resistance to therapy. Their applications extend beyond basic research into translational studies, where insights gained can inform therapeutic strategies targeting p53 pathways.

Compared to alternative models such as transient knockdown systems or inhibitor treatments, our MDM4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer more stable, reproducible, and controllable conditions for experimentation. This stability is crucial for developing therapeutics with a focus on the p53 pathway, which often experiences mutational changes in human cancers.

The value of MDM4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide insights into complex biological processes related to cell proliferation, survival, and tumor progression, thereby facilitating the discovery of novel therapeutic interventions. Researchers and clinicians will benefit from these cell lines as they strive to unveil the molecular mechanisms of cancer development and resistance, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

As a leader in the field of genetic engineering and biological research products, our company is dedicated to providing high-quality research tools like MDM4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, empowering scientists to advance their work and make significant contributions to cancer biology.
