Gene: NGF
Official Full Name: nerve growth factorprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the NGF-beta family and encodes a secreted protein which homodimerizes and is incorporated into a larger complex. This protein has nerve growth stimulating activity and the complex is involved in the regulation of growth and the differentiation of sympathetic and certain sensory neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, type 5 (HSAN5), and dysregulation of this gene's expression is associated with allergic rhinitis.

NGF Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to elucidate the function and signaling pathways of the neurotrophic factor, Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). By employing the powerful CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines have been modified to abolish the expression of the NGF gene, allowing for comprehensive studies on the role of NGF in neuronal growth, differentiation, and survival. The absence of NGF provides an invaluable opportunity to observe the downstream effects and compensatory mechanisms within the cellular environment, facilitating a deeper understanding of neurobiology.
In scientific research, NGF is pivotal for its role in the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. Researchers utilize NGF Gene Knockout Cell Lines to study neurodegenerative diseases, pain pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. By using these knockout models, the unique interactions between NGF and its receptors can be analyzed, offering insights into disease mechanisms that are otherwise difficult to observe in native cell lines.
The advantages of NGF Gene Knockout Cell Lines compared to traditional cell lines lie in their specificity and precision. Other knockout methods may not ensure complete gene ablation or function, while CRISPR/Cas9 technology provides a definitive modification, making these cell lines more reliable for experimental validation. Additionally, they can serve as invaluable tools for drug screening, enabling researchers to identify compounds that can modulate NGF signaling pathways effectively.
For researchers and clinicians alike, NGF Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a streamlined and potent tool for advancing the understanding of neurobiological functions, thus contributing to the development of targeted therapies for neurodegenerative conditions.
