Gene: OFD1
Official Full Name: OFD1 centriole and centriolar satellite proteinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is located on the X chromosome and encodes a centrosomal protein. A knockout mouse model has been used to study the effect of mutations in this gene. The mouse gene is also located on the X chromosome, however, unlike the human gene it is not subject to X inactivation. Mutations in this gene are associated with oral-facial-digital syndrome type I and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 2. Many pseudogenes have been identified; a single pseudogene is found on chromosome 5 while as many as fifteen have been found on the Y chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

OFD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced in vitro models generated through targeted gene editing techniques, specifically designed to study the biological functions and pathways associated with the OFD1 gene. OFD1, which is crucial for the proper structure and function of cilia, plays a significant role in the development and maintenance of various tissues. These knockout cell lines have been meticulously engineered to lack functional OFD1 protein, enabling researchers to investigate the physiological and pathological impacts of OFD1 deficiency.
The key functionality of OFD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to elucidate the molecular pathways that are disrupted upon OFD1 removal. By observing alterations in cellular processes such as ciliary assembly, signal transduction, and proliferation, scientists can gain deeper insights into diseases linked to OFD1, including Joubert Syndrome and other ciliopathies. This model facilitates targeted experimentation, allowing for the assessment of gene interactions and the screening of potential therapeutic compounds.
Moreover, the scientific importance of these cell lines extends into both research and clinical applications. They serve as a vital tool for understanding the mechanistic pathways of OFD1-related disorders and can be instrumental in preclinical drug testing, potential gene therapy approaches, and genetic studies. As precise models, they provide reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes, crucial for advancing translational research.
Compared to alternative cell lines, the OFD1 Gene Knockout variants stand out due to their specificity—not only do they remove OFD1 function, but their creation leverages CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring high efficiency and fewer off-target effects. This specificity translates to high-quality data that can lead to more meaningful conclusions.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to unravel the complexities of ciliopathies and test innovative solutions, the OFD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unmatched value. Their utility in dissection of disease mechanisms equips users with the insights necessary for impactful discoveries.
