MLH1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MLH1

Official Full Name: mutL homolog 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene can heterodimerize with mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2 to form MutL alpha, part of the DNA mismatch repair system. When MutL alpha is bound by MutS beta and some accessory proteins, the PMS2 subunit of MutL alpha introduces a single-strand break near DNA mismatches, providing an entry point for exonuclease degradation. The encoded protein is also involved in DNA damage signaling and can heterodimerize with DNA mismatch repair protein MLH3 to form MutL gamma, which is involved in meiosis. This gene was identified as a locus frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Background

MLH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the MLH1 gene, which plays a crucial role in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system. This product is invaluable for researchers studying genetic stability and the mechanisms underlying various cancers, particularly those associated with Lynch syndrome, such as colorectal and endometrial cancers. By utilizing these cell lines, scientists can dissect the molecular pathways affected by the loss of MLH1, allowing for a deeper understanding of tumorigenesis and potential therapeutic targets.

These knockout cell lines function by replicating the genetic alterations found in cancerous tissues where MLH1 is non-functional. The absence of this essential gene leads to an accumulation of DNA replication errors, which is a hallmark of many malignancies. Researchers can use these models to investigate how the loss of MMR contributes to genomic instability and to test the efficacy of novel drugs designed to target specific weaknesses in cancer cells.

The scientific importance of MLH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to their applications in both academic research and clinical settings. They provide an essential tool for drug discovery, enabling the identification and validation of biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cancer therapy. In addition, these cell lines support various studies, including those related to functional genomics, cellular response to chemotherapeutics, and the exploration of DNA damage repair mechanisms.

What sets our MLH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their validated mutation profiles, high reproducibility, and compatibility with a wide range of experimental techniques. These cell lines are meticulously characterized, ensuring a reliable resource for researchers seeking to achieve reproducible and meaningful results in their studies.

Investing in MLH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is essential for researchers and clinicians who aim to advance the understanding of MMR-related cancers and improve patient outcomes. Our company is committed to providing high-quality biological products, backed by extensive expertise in genetic modifications and a robust support system for all users. With our innovative offerings, researchers are equipped to make pivotal breakthroughs in cancer research and therapy.
