Gene: PLAT
Official Full Name: plasminogen activator, tissue typeprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes tissue-type plasminogen activator, a secreted serine protease that converts the proenzyme plasminogen to plasmin, a fibrinolytic enzyme. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by plasmin or trypsin to generate heavy and light chains. These chains associate via disulfide linkages to form the heterodimeric enzyme. This enzyme plays a role in cell migration and tissue remodeling. Increased enzymatic activity causes hyperfibrinolysis, which manifests as excessive bleeding, while decreased activity leads to hypofibrinolysis, which can result in thrombosis or embolism. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

PLAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced mammalian cell lines engineered to have a specific knockout of the PLAT gene, which encodes the protein tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). This product serves as a vital tool for researchers interested in the role of the PLAT gene in various biological processes, including fibrinolysis, wound healing, and tumor progression. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology for precise genome editing, these cell lines enable investigators to elucidate gene functions, validate drug targets, and assess pathways related to disease models.
The primary function of PLAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate studies concerning the influence of tPA on cellular behaviors such as proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. Without the expression of tPA, researchers can investigate compensatory mechanisms and alternative pathways that may become activated in its absence. This capacity to observe changes in cellular dynamics is crucial for advancing our understanding of various pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends into both research and clinical applications, enabling the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting the fibrinolytic system. By studying gene knockout effects in a controlled environment, scientists can explore potential interventions that might modulate tPA-related pathways for improved clinical outcomes.
One of the standout advantages of our PLAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the robustness and reproducibility of results they provide compared to existing models. Researchers using traditional methodologies may encounter inconsistencies due to off-target effects or varying expression levels of endogenous genes. In contrast, our cell lines offer a consistent knockout phenotype, allowing for reliable comparisons and interpretation of data across various experimental settings.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the PLAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a unique opportunity to deepen the understanding of gene function in health and disease. The ability to create highly specific experimental conditions accelerates discoveries that could lead to innovative treatments and diagnostic approaches.
