Gene: MTF1
Official Full Name: metal regulatory transcription factor 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transcription factor that induces expression of metallothioneins and other genes involved in metal homeostasis in response to heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc, copper, and silver. The protein is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that accumulates in the nucleus upon heavy metal exposure and binds to promoters containing a metal-responsive element (MRE).

MTF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specialized type of genetically modified cell line designed to specifically disrupt the expression of the MTF1 gene, which encodes the metal-responsive transcription factor 1, a critical player in cellular response to metal ion homeostasis and oxidative stress. Through established CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing techniques, these cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool to study the functional consequences of MTF1 loss in various biological contexts, including cellular metabolism, metal toxicity, and neurodegenerative diseases.
The primary function of MTF1 involves regulating the transcription of genes implicated in metal ion detoxification and maintaining cellular redox balance. By creating knockout variants, researchers can elucidate the downstream effects of MTF1 deficiency, enabling investigations into its role in pathophysiological processes. These knockout cell lines serve as valuable models for understanding the molecular mechanisms by which metal ions, such as zinc and cadmium, impact cell biology, potentially revealing novel therapeutic targets for diseases associated with metal dysregulation.
In research settings, MTF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out for their ability to provide clear insights into gene function with the precision of a knockout approach, unlike alternatives such as overexpression or knockdown techniques, which may yield confounding results. The uniqueness of this product lies in its ability to facilitate high-throughput screening applications, enhancing the development of new treatments and clinical strategies.
Moreover, the availability of these knockout cell lines represents a significant advance for scientists aiming to unravel complex signaling pathways and disease mechanisms. MTF1-deficient models allow researchers to explore not only the basic biology of metal ion homeostasis but also their implications in neurotoxicology and cellular stress responses.
