NDRG1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NDRG1

Official Full Name: N-myc downstream regulated 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein involved in stress responses, hormone responses, cell growth, and differentiation. The encoded protein is necessary for p53-mediated caspase activation and apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D, and expression of this gene may be a prognostic indicator for several types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Background

NDRG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have undergone targeted gene editing to disrupt the expression of the NDRG1 gene. NDRG1 (N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1) is implicated in various biological processes, including cellular proliferation, differentiation, and stress responses. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar gene-editing technologies, these cell lines provide a valuable tool for investigating the role of NDRG1 in cellular physiology and pathology, particularly in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders.

The primary mechanism behind these knockout cell lines is the introduction of targeted mutations that prevent the transcription of the NDRG1 gene, leading to a complete absence of the corresponding protein. This loss of function enables researchers to delineate the specific pathways and molecular interactions governed by NDRG1, offering insights into how its dysregulation may contribute to disease processes. NDRG1 knockout models are vital for understanding tumorigenesis, as well as for developing therapies aimed at reactivating or compensating for the loss of NDRG1 expression in affected tissues.

In computational research and clinical applications, NDRG1 knockout cell lines stand out due to their ability to provide a controlled environment for testing therapeutic agents, screening for drug efficacy, and identifying potential biomarkers for disease progression. Compared to traditional approaches that rely on overexpression or exogenous introduction of genes, these knockout models allow for a more authentic assessment of gene function and its implication in disease.

The unique selling points of NDRG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their high specificity and reproducibility, which enhance experimental rigor. Additionally, their availability can accelerate research timelines as scientists can obtain consistent results without the need for extensive validation processes often required with transgenic models.

For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing our understanding of complex diseases, these knockout cell lines present an indispensable asset. They empower teams to explore novel therapeutic avenues by elucidating fundamental biological mechanisms associated with NDRG1.
