Gene: PITX3
Official Full Name: paired like homeodomain 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. Members of this family act as transcription factors. This protein is involved in lens formation during eye development. Mutations of this gene have been associated with anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis and congenital cataracts.

PITX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have undergone targeted disruption of the PITX3 gene, a critical transcription factor involved in the development and function of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. This product enables researchers to investigate the role of the PITX3 gene in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, where dopaminergic signaling is impaired. By effectively rendering the PITX3 gene inactive, these cell lines provide a platform for studying the downstream effects of its absence on cellular behavior, neuronal differentiation, and potential signaling pathways that may be altered.
The key mechanism of PITX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolves around CRISPR-Cas9 technology, allowing precise editing of the genome to create a stable knockout. This results in the ability to assess the functional outcomes of lacking PITX3, thus facilitating the exploration of its role in neurogenesis, survival, and associated pathologies. In research settings, these cell lines serve as vital tools for drug discovery and screening, enabling the evaluation of therapeutic interventions targeting mitogen-activated protein (MAP) pathways and dopaminergic signaling.
The scientific importance of these cell lines lies in their application for elucidating the functional consequences of PITX3 deficiency in both in vitro and potentially in in vivo models. Compared to other gene editing techniques, our PITX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide higher specificity and efficiency in gene disruption, leading to more reliable and reproducible results. With extensive validation for both biological functionality and genomic integrity, these cell lines surpass conventional models that may yield inconsistent outcomes.
For researchers and clinicians involved in neurological research, this product represents an invaluable asset, paving the way for breakthroughs in understanding the underlying mechanisms of dopaminergic neurodegeneration and facilitating the identification of innovative therapeutic strategies. Our company, recognized for its commitment to advancing genetic engineering technologies, offers a range of high-quality biological products tailored to meet the evolving needs of research communities, ensuring excellence and reliability in your scientific endeavors.
