NCSTN Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NCSTN

Official Full Name: nicastrinprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is an integral component of the multimeric gamma-secretase complex. The encoded protein cleaves integral membrane proteins, including Notch receptors and beta-amyloid precursor protein, and may be a stabilizing cofactor required for gamma-secretase complex assembly. The cleavage of beta-amyloid precursor protein yields amyloid beta peptide, the main component of the neuritic plaque and the hallmark lesion in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease; however, the nature of the encoded protein's role in Alzheimer's disease is not known for certain. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial acne inversa. A pseudogene of this gene is present on chromosome 21. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Background

NCSTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to specifically disrupt the function of the Notch signaling pathway component, NCSTN (Nicastrin). This product allows researchers to study the implications of NCSTN gene loss in various cellular processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. By using CRISPR-Cas9 technology or similar gene-editing methods, the NCSTN gene is effectively knocked out, providing a powerful tool to investigate the downstream effects of altered Notch signaling, which plays a critical role in numerous developmental and pathological processes.

Key functions of the NCSTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines include enabling detailed mechanistic studies regarding the role of NCSTN in cancer biology, neurogenesis, and other diseases where the Notch pathway is implicated. With these cell lines, researchers can delve into the cellular responses resulting from NCSTN loss, including changes in gene expression profiles, signaling cascades, and cellular phenotypes. The versatility of this product permits applications in both basic science and translational research settings aimed at understanding disease mechanisms and testing potential therapeutics.

The scientific importance of NCSTN Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their ability to model conditions typically seen in cancer and developmental disorders. This unique product allows for in-depth evaluation of target pathways and drug responses in a controlled environment, significantly enhancing the reproducibility of experimental results.

What sets these cell lines apart from alternative gene-editing models is their high specificity and reliability in NCSTN targeting. Unlike traditional knockdown approaches, which may result in partial suppression of gene activity, our knockout cell lines ensure complete ablation of NCSTN function, offering a clearer and more definitive insight into its biological roles. Furthermore, these cell lines come with comprehensive support from our expert team, ensuring optimal use in your research.

Our company is dedicated to advancing scientific discovery by providing high-quality biological products. With extensive experience in the field of cellular and molecular biology, we equip researchers and clinicians with reliable tools to drive innovation and enhance their understanding of complex biological systems.
