Gene: PKP3
Official Full Name: plakophilin 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the arm-repeat (armadillo) and plakophilin gene families. Plakophilin proteins contain numerous armadillo repeats, localize to cell desmosomes and nuclei, and participate in linking cadherins to intermediate filaments in the cytoskeleton. This protein may act in cellular desmosome-dependent adhesion and signaling pathways. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

PKP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cells in which the PKP3 gene, also known as Plakophilin 3, has been disrupted to elucidate its function in cellular processes. These knockout cell lines serve as indispensable tools for researchers studying the role of PKP3 in cell adhesion, signaling pathways, and its association with various diseases, particularly in cancer research. The PKP3 protein is integral to desmosomal structures, contributing to cell-cell adhesion and cytoskeletal organization, thus manipulating its expression can reveal critical insights into cellular morphology and behavior.
The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines involves the selective ablation of the PKP3 gene using CRISPR-Cas9 technology or RNA interference, effectively creating a cellular model that lacks the protein product. This allows scientists to observe compensatory pathways, altered gene expression profiles, and assess the impacts of PKP3 deficiency on overall cell physiology. Such models are crucial for dissecting the mechanisms underlying desmosome dysfunction and its implications in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, tumor progression, and metastasis.
Scientifically, PKP3 knockouts have significant applications in both basic and translational research. They are pivotal in studies focused on understanding cancer metastasis, heart disease, and other conditions where cell adhesion plays a critical role. By providing a controlled environment to investigate the biological consequences of PKP3 loss, these cell lines enhance the potential for the development of targeted therapies and diagnostic tools.
One of the key advantages of our PKP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their robust validation and characterization, ensuring researchers obtain consistent and reliable results. Unlike alternative models that may not accurately replicate the phenotypic effects of PKP3 absence, our cell lines undergo rigorous quality control to confirm the complete knockout and maintain genomic stability.
The value of PKP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends far beyond basic research, empowering clinicians and scientists alike with precise models for drug testing and therapeutic exploration.
