MUC3A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MUC3A

Official Full Name: mucin 3A, cell surface associatedprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The mucin genes encode epithelial glycoproteins, some of which are secreted and some membrane bound. Each of the genes contains at least one large domain of tandemly repeated sequence that encodes the peptide sequence rich in serine and/or threonine residues, which carries most of the O-linked glycosylation (Gendler and Spicer, 1995 [PubMed 7778880]).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2008]

Background

MUC3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models lacking the MUC3A gene, which encodes a transmembrane mucin protein involved in various physiological processes, including cell signaling, immune response modulation, and gastrointestinal protection. By eliminating the MUC3A gene, these cell lines serve as critical tools for researchers investigating the physiological and pathological roles of mucins in health and disease.

The primary function of MUC3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the study of mucin-related mechanisms. They allow for the examination of cellular behaviors and interactions in the absence of MUC3A, enabling researchers to unravel the gene's contributions to processes such as epithelial barrier function, immune evasion by tumors, and mucosal immunity. This knockout model is particularly vital for studying diseases such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and other gastrointestinal disorders, where mucin expression profiles are often altered.

The scientific importance of MUC3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines is evident in both basic and applied research settings. In clinical research, these cell lines can be leveraged to explore potential therapeutic targets, assess drug efficacy, and investigate the mechanisms of disease progression. Additionally, they provide a platform for translational studies that bridge laboratory findings with clinical outcomes, facilitating the development of novel therapeutics.

Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or non-specific knockdown systems, MUC3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer specificity and reproducibility. They eliminate the confounding factors associated with partial gene inhibition, ensuring that observed phenotypic changes are directly attributable to the loss of MUC3A function. This leads to more accurate data interpretation and contributes to high-impact scientific publications.

For researchers and clinicians alike, MUC3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable asset, providing insights that drive innovation in understanding mucin biology and its implications in health and disease. The ability to study the complex interplay between mucins and various cellular pathways positions these cell lines as indispensable tools in modern biological research.
