Gene: PRKCA
Official Full Name: protein kinase C alphaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play a distinct role in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members. This kinase has been reported to play roles in many different cellular processes, such as cell adhesion, cell transformation, cell cycle checkpoint, and cell volume control. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this kinase may be a fundamental regulator of cardiac contractility and Ca(2+) handling in myocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PRKCA Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pivotal advancement in molecular biology research, specifically designed to study the role of the protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) in various cellular processes. These cell lines are engineered to disrupt the PRKCA gene, thereby facilitating investigations into the downstream signaling pathways regulated by PKCα, which are critical in processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The knockout mechanism, often achieved through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, allows for a precise deletion of the gene, ensuring that researchers can analyze the direct effects of the absence of PKCα in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
The significance of PRKCA Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their utility for both basic and applied research. In clinical settings, understanding the role of PKCα is crucial as it has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disorders. These cell lines provide an invaluable tool for screening potential therapeutics targeting PKCα pathways and can be applied in the development of novel drug candidates aimed at modulating PKCα activity.
One of the standout advantages of our PRKCA Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the robustness and reliability of the model system, which outperforms conventional knockdown approaches like siRNA or shRNA with regards to specificity and efficiency. Additionally, our cell lines are rigorously validated for gene knockout and biological functionality, providing confidence in experimental outcomes.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of PKCα-related mechanisms or to explore therapeutic avenues, these knockout cell lines offer unparalleled access to uncovering cellular dynamics in health and disease. Our commitment to producing high-quality, scientifically validated biological products ensures that you gain access to the most reliable tools in your research arsenal. Through continuous innovation and expertise in genetic engineering, we strive to support scientific discovery and advancement.
