NALCN Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NALCN

Official Full Name: sodium leak channel, non-selectiveprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a voltage-independent, nonselective cation channel which belongs to a family of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels that regulates the resting membrane potential and excitability of neurons. This family is expressed throughout the nervous system and conducts a persistent sodium leak current that contributes to tonic neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms a channelosome complex that includes G-protein-coupled receptors, UNC-79, UNC-80, NCA localization factor-1, and src family tyrosine kinases. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy, infantile hypotonia with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies (IHPRF) syndrome, and congenital contractures of the limbs and face with hypotonia and developmental delay (CLIFAHDD) syndrome. A knockout of the orthologous gene in mice results in paralysis with a severely disrupted respiratory rhythm, and lethality within 24 hours after birth. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

Background

NALCN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the in-depth study of the NALCN (sodium leak channel, non-selective) gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining neuronal excitability and influencing several physiological processes. These cell lines are generated using advanced CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing techniques, resulting in the ablation of the NALCN gene. This specific modification allows researchers to explore the functional consequences of NALCN disruption, leading to valuable insights into cellular behavior and neurological disorders.

The key function of NALCN involves the regulation of sodium ion conductance across cell membranes, affecting neuronal firing thresholds and excitability. By utilizing NALCN knockout cell lines, scientists can investigate the mechanisms underlying various pathologies, including epilepsy, pain, and other neurological conditions linked to altered sodium channel activity. This product thus represents a powerful tool for dissecting the molecular pathways and cellular mechanisms essential for understanding and potentially treating these disorders.

In scientific research and clinical applications, knockout cell lines serve as invaluable resources. They enable high-throughput screening, the validation of drug targets, and the assessment of therapeutic responses in a controlled environment. Compared to conventional models, NALCN knockout cell lines provide a more precise investigation of gene function, minimizing the variability often seen in animal models and enhancing the reproducibility of results.

The unique selling points of NALCN Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their ability to closely mimic in vivo conditions while allowing for targeted manipulation of the cellular environment. This facilitates detailed analysis of gene function and the exploration of potential therapeutic interventions. Furthermore, these cell lines are produced under stringent quality control measures, ensuring genetic stability and consistent performance across experiments.

For researchers and clinicians focused on advancing our understanding of neuronal function and disease, NALCN Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a crucial advancement in experimental biology. By providing tools that bridge the gap between research and therapeutic application, these products empower users to make significant contributions to the field of neuroscience.
