PAK1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PAK1

Official Full Name: p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a family member of serine/threonine p21-activating kinases, known as PAK proteins. These proteins are critical effectors that link RhoGTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling, and they serve as targets for the small GTP binding proteins Cdc42 and Rac. This specific family member regulates cell motility and morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with macrocephaly, seizures, and speech delay. Overexpression of this gene is also reported in many cancer types, and particularly in breast cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Background

PAK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that lack the expression of the PAK1 (p21-activated kinase 1) gene, a critical component involved in various cellular processes, including cytoskeleton dynamics, cell motility, and survival signaling pathways. These knockout cell lines serve as powerful tools for elucidating the function of PAK1 in cellular mechanisms by providing a controlled environment to study the consequences of its absence on biological behavior.

The key function of PAK1 is its involvement in signaling pathways triggered by small GTPases like Rac1 and Cdc42, which are essential for regulating cell growth, proliferation, and migration. By utilizing PAK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can uncover the downstream effects of PAK1 loss, revealing changes in pathway activation, gene expression profiles, and cellular responses, thereby contributing to a more profound understanding of its role in various diseases, particularly cancer, where PAK1 is often implicated.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their applications in both research and clinical settings. They facilitate in-depth studies on cancer biology, neurobiology, and cardiovascular diseases, enabling researchers to investigate mechanisms of tumorigenesis, metastatic behavior, and the therapeutic responses of PAK1 inhibitors. Moreover, these knockout models are invaluable for drug development and testing, as they provide insights into how therapies might target PAK1-related pathways.

Compared to alternative approaches, such as transient knockdowns or heterozygous models, PAK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer stable and reproducible genetic alteration. This leads to more consistent results and enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes over time. Furthermore, these cell lines are pre-validated and ready-to-use, saving researchers time and resources.

For researchers, clinicians, and biopharmaceutical companies, the availability of PAK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is significant as they intend to understand PAK1's role in health and disease. These cell models not only support robust biological inquiries but also pave the way for developing innovative therapies that target PAK1-related pathways.

Our company, with a focus on advancing research in molecular biology, specializes in providing high-quality, customizable biological products, such as knockout cell lines, ensuring that our clients have access to cutting-edge tools needed for transformative discoveries.
