Gene: PNKP
Official Full Name: polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphataseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This locus represents a gene involved in DNA repair. In response to ionizing radiation or oxidative damage, the protein encoded by this locus catalyzes 5' phosphorylation and 3' dephosphorylation of nucleic acids. Mutations at this locus have been associated with microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

PNKP Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the Polynucleotide Kinase Phosphatase (PNKP) gene, which plays a critical role in DNA repair mechanisms and maintaining genomic stability. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these cell lines have been crafted to disrupt the PNKP gene expression, thereby allowing researchers to investigate the functional consequences of PNKP deficiency on cellular processes and response to DNA damage.
The primary function of PNKP is to repair single-strand breaks and abasic sites in DNA, which is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity. When the PNKP gene is knocked out, the resulting phenotypic changes can elucidate pathways involved in DNA damage response, cellular senescence, and cancer progression. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools in understanding the complexities of DNA repair pathways, making them indispensable for molecular biology, cancer research, and therapeutic development.
Scientifically, PNKP Gene Knockout Cell Lines are pivotal in research settings seeking to evaluate the efficacy of novel anti-cancer drugs that target DNA repair processes. Clinically, they enable the identification of patient-specific therapeutic strategies, especially for individuals with DNA repair deficiencies linked to specific malignancies.
Compared to traditional cell lines, PNKP Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more robust model for elucidating the biological relevance of PNKP in various contexts. Their targeted disruption allows for cleaner, more interpretable results, reducing background noise often associated with non-specific gene silencing techniques.
These cell lines are uniquely positioned to advance research in the ever-evolving field of molecular genetics and cancer therapy, providing critical insights that paves the way for innovative treatment approaches. Our company specializes in the development of high-quality, genetically engineered cell lines that support cutting-edge research, offering robust solutions that meet the precise needs of researchers and clinicians alike.
