Gene: PFDN5
Official Full Name: prefoldin subunit 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the prefoldin alpha subunit family. The encoded protein is one of six subunits of prefoldin, a molecular chaperone complex that binds and stabilizes newly synthesized polypeptides, thereby allowing them to fold correctly. The complex, consisting of two alpha and four beta subunits, forms a double beta barrel assembly with six protruding coiled-coils. The encoded protein may also repress the transcriptional activity of the proto-oncogene c-Myc. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

PFDN5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cell lines in which the PFDN5 gene has been systematically disrupted or rendered non-functional. PFDN5 (Peptidylprolyl Isomerase NIMA-interacting 5), plays a crucial role in protein folding and trafficking, specifically in the context of ribosome assembly and protein stabilization. By knocking out this gene, researchers can study the downstream effects of PFDN5 deficiency on cellular functions, such as stress response, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis, contributing valuable insights into fundamental biological processes.
The mechanism underlying the utility of these knockout cells involves the complete absence of the PFDN5 protein, enabling researchers to observe altered cellular phenotypes and molecular pathways. This can facilitate the investigation of various illnesses associated with dysregulated protein homeostasis, including neurodegenerative conditions and cancers. In clinical settings, these cell lines serve as an essential tool for validating therapeutic targets by providing a model for drug sensitivity and resistance studies in oncology.
Compared to alternatives like transient knockdown methods (e.g., siRNA), the PFDN5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a stable and permanent alteration in gene expression, thus allowing for long-term studies with consistent experimental conditions. Furthermore, their generation through advanced genome editing technologies ensures high specificity and efficacy.
By leveraging PFDN5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians can accelerate their understanding of complex biological systems, streamline the validation of drug candidates, and ultimately contribute to the advancement of precision medicine. Our company specializes in cutting-edge genomic technologies and provides researchers with unparalleled resources and expertise, ensuring that clients receive high-quality, reliable products tailored to enhance their investigations.
