NEFM Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NEFM

Official Full Name: neurofilament medium chainprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and functionally maintain neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the medium neurofilament protein. This protein is commonly used as a biomarker of neuronal damage. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Background

NEFM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models specifically designed to facilitate the study of the neurofilament medium (NEFM) gene's function and its role in neurological disorders. These knockout cell lines are created through precise gene editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, which enable the targeted disruption of the NEFM gene. The resulting cell lines provide invaluable tools for researchers to examine the effects of NEFM deficiency on various cellular processes, including neuronal development, gene expression regulation, and cellular response to stress.

The primary mechanism of action in these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to model the specific alterations associated with NEFM gene inactivation. By providing a clear representation of neurofilament alterations, these cells allow for in-depth analyses of the pathological mechanisms underpinning neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other motor neuron disorders. This information is critical for the development of potential therapeutic interventions.

From a scientific perspective, NEFM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are pivotal in advancing our understanding of neuronal cytoskeleton dynamics and cellular architecture, as they facilitate the exploration of hypotheses related to neurofilament aggregation and dysfunction. Their utility extends into both research and clinical settings, where they can be employed to screen compounds that might restore NEFM function or possess neuroprotective properties.

Distinct from traditional cell lines, the NEFM Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages, such as enhanced specificity and reproducibility in experimental results, which are crucial in biological research. They provide a more accurate physiological context compared to standard models, thereby improving the translational potential of research findings. Furthermore, these cell lines are readily available and easy to use, supported by comprehensive documentation and user guidelines that assist researchers in their experimental setups.

For researchers and clinicians alike, NEFM Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical resource in the quest to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies. Our company prides itself on its expertise in genetic engineering and its commitment to delivering high-quality, validated biological products that meet the evolving needs of the scientific community.
