Gene: NPPB
Official Full Name: natriuretic peptide Bprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the natriuretic peptide family and encodes a secreted protein which functions as a cardiac hormone. The protein undergoes two cleavage events, one within the cell and a second after secretion into the blood. The protein's biological actions include natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, inhibition of renin and aldosterone secretion, and a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis. A high concentration of this protein in the bloodstream is indicative of heart failure. The presence of myocardial injury is a significant predictor of mortality in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, and there is evidence of increased levels of natriuretic peptide B in hospitalized non-survivor COVID-19 patients. The protein also acts as an antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and antifungal activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

NPPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to investigate the physiological roles of the NPPB (Natriuretic Peptide B) gene by creating targeted disruptions in its genetic sequence. These engineered cell lines provide researchers with a valuable tool to study the gene's function, elucidate its contribution to cardiovascular and renal physiology, and explore potential therapeutic targets in diseases associated with NPPB dysregulation.
The primary mechanism by which NPPB gene knockout cell lines operate involves the use of CRISPR-Cas9 technology, a revolutionary method for genome editing. This process allows for precise deletion of the NPPB gene, leading to a loss of its encoded protein, which can then be examined for changes in cellular signaling pathways, ion transport, and overall cellular responses to stimuli. Researchers can analyze the effects of NPPB absence on cellular behaviors such as proliferation, hypertrophy, and apoptosis.
In terms of scientific importance, these knockout cell lines are invaluable in both basic and translational research settings. They facilitate a deeper understanding of NPPB's role in natriuresis, vasodilation, and blood pressure regulation, which is crucial for identifying new therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and heart failure. Furthermore, these cell lines can be employed in drug discovery, toxicity testing, and the investigation of gene-environment interactions.
What sets our NPPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their meticulous optimization and validation for robust reproducibility, alongside their compatibility with various in vitro experimental conditions. Researchers can trust these models to reflect physiological responses in a controlled manner, thereby yielding reliable and relevant data.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the value of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide insights that can lead to significant advancements in understanding disease mechanisms and treatment pathways.
