NRN1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NRN1

Official Full Name: neuritin 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the neuritin family, and is expressed in postmitotic-differentiating neurons of the developmental nervous system and neuronal structures associated with plasticity in the adult. The expression of this gene can be induced by neural activity and neurotrophins. The encoded protein contains a consensus cleavage signal found in glycosylphoshatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. The encoded protein promotes neurite outgrowth and arborization, suggesting its role in promoting neuritogenesis. Overexpression of the encoded protein may be associated with astrocytoma progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Background

NRN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell line models engineered to facilitate the study of the neurogranin gene (NRN1), a significant regulator of synaptic plasticity and learning processes within the brain. These knockout cell lines are created using CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, resulting in the complete disruption of the NRN1 gene, allowing researchers to explore its functional roles in neuronal signaling and behavior.

The primary function of NRN1 in neuronal cells involves the modulation of calcium signaling pathways, which are critical for synaptic efficacy. By removing the NRN1 gene, scientists can investigate how the absence of this protein affects neuronal health, signaling mechanisms, and overall cellular function. This model is instrumental for studying neurodegenerative diseases, synaptic disorders, and cognitive impairments, highlighting pathways that may become disrupted in various pathologies.

Scientifically, these knockdown models have a profound impact on both research and clinical applications. They provide a valuable tool for elucidating the molecular etiology of diseases related to synaptic dysfunction, offering insights that can lead to potential therapeutic targets. The ability to observe changes in cellular behavior in a controlled environment allows for streamlined research and faster discovery cycles.

What sets NRN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional models is their specificity and precision. Unlike general inhibitors or chemical agents that can produce off-target effects, these knockout models offer a clear delineation of the NRN1 function without confounding variables. Their ease of use in proliferative assays, transfection, and live-cell imaging enhances their utility for a wide array of experimental setups.

For researchers and clinicians focusing on neurobiology, synaptic physiology, and related therapeutic applications, these cell lines provide unparalleled opportunities for groundbreaking studies. The insights gained through experiments utilizing NRN1 knockout models can contribute significantly to advancing our understanding of brain function and the mechanisms underlying neurological diseases.
