Gene: MFAP4
Official Full Name: microfibril associated protein 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with similarity to a bovine microfibril-associated protein. The protein has binding specificities for both collagen and carbohydrate. It is thought to be an extracellular matrix protein which is involved in cell adhesion or intercellular interactions. The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

MFAP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to lack the expression of the MFAP4 (Microfibril-Associated Protein 4) gene. These knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools for researchers studying the biological roles of MFAP4 in processes such as extracellular matrix organization, cell adhesion, and tissue repair. By eliminating the gene, scientists can investigate the functional impact of MFAP4 on cellular behavior, signaling pathways, and its involvement in various disease states, particularly those related to cardiovascular and connective tissue disorders.
The key mechanism of MFAP4 Knockout Cell Lines involves targeted gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, which enable precise modifications to the genome. This gene editing results in a complete loss of MFAP4 protein expression, allowing researchers to conduct comparative studies against wild-type cell lines. The absence of MFAP4 provides insights into its role in modulating cellular interactions and responses to extracellular stimuli, facilitating deeper understanding in the context of both basic research and therapeutic development.
Scientifically, these cell lines are pivotal for both in vitro studies and preclinical investigations, contributing to our understanding of mechanobiology, inflammation, and tissue homeostasis. Their use can extend to various applications including drug testing, regenerative medicine development, and unraveling the molecular mechanisms underpinning disease pathology, thus aiding in the advancement of innovative therapeutic strategies.
Compared to conventional cell lines or transient knockout methods, MFAP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced reproducibility and stability, ensuring that experimental outcomes are consistent and reliable over time. This allows researchers to obtain clearer, more definitive results that can lead to novel therapeutic insights.
For researchers and clinicians aiming to explore the complexities of MFAP4 in health and disease, these knockout cell lines represent a powerful resource. Their usage empowers scientific discovery that may ultimately translate into advancements in clinical applications, such as novel treatments for fibrotic diseases.
