Gene: PRKACA
Official Full Name: protein kinase cAMP-activated catalytic subunit alphaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of the catalytic subunits of protein kinase A, which exists as a tetrameric holoenzyme with two regulatory subunits and two catalytic subunits, in its inactive form. cAMP causes the dissociation of the inactive holoenzyme into a dimer of regulatory subunits bound to four cAMP and two free monomeric catalytic subunits. Four different regulatory subunits and three catalytic subunits have been identified in humans. cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of proteins by protein kinase A is important to many cellular processes, including differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Constitutive activation of this gene caused either by somatic mutations, or genomic duplications of regions that include this gene, have been associated with hyperplasias and adenomas of the adrenal cortex and are linked to corticotropin-independent Cushing's syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Tissue-specific isoforms that differ at the N-terminus have been described, and these isoforms may differ in the post-translational modifications that occur at the N-terminus of some isoforms.

PRKACA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to lack the PRKACA gene, which encodes the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). These cell lines enable researchers to elucidate the role of PRKACA in cellular signaling pathways, metabolic regulation, and various pathological conditions. The ablation of PRKACA allows for the assessment of its direct involvement in processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, providing a powerful tool for dissecting complex biological systems.
The primary function of PRKACA Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate experimental manipulations that uncover the downstream effects of PKA signaling in a controlled environment. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these cell lines ensure precise knockouts of the PRKACA gene, thus minimizing off-target effects and maximizing the reliability of the results. Researchers can assess changes in phosphorylation patterns, cellular responses to stress, and drug interactions, thereby advancing our understanding of various diseases, including metabolic disorders, cancers, and heart diseases, where PKA plays a pivotal role.
From a scientific perspective, these cell lines hold significant value in both research and clinical applications. They can serve as model systems for drug screening, enabling the identification and development of therapeutic agents that target PKA-related pathways. Moreover, the insights gained from studies using these knockout lines can pave the way for the development of personalized medicine approaches that leverage genetic information for tailored treatments.
One of the standout advantages of PRKACA Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their ability to provide clear, reproducible results that are often challenging to achieve with conventional methods. Unlike pharmacological inhibition, which may have off-target effects and variable efficacy, these knockout models eliminate the confounding variables inherent in pharmacological experiments. This specificity allows researchers to draw more definitive conclusions about the role of PKA in cellular processes.
