Gene: PRKCE
Official Full Name: protein kinase C epsilonprovided 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 shown to be involved in many different cellular functions, such as neuron channel activation, apoptosis, cardioprotection from ischemia, heat shock response, as well as insulin exocytosis. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this kinase is important for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated signaling in activated macrophages and may also play a role in controlling anxiety-like behavior.

PRKCE Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the expression of the PRKCE gene, which encodes the protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε). This innovative product allows researchers to study the functional consequences of PRKCE loss in a variety of cellular contexts, making it a critical tool for understanding cellular signaling pathways, tumor biology, and neurological processes.
The primary function of PRKCE Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the examination of the role of PKCε in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. By removing this gene, researchers can investigate how cellular behaviors are altered, elucidating the mechanisms of diseases where dysregulation of PKCε is implicated, such as certain cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. The knockout strategy utilizes CRISPR/Cas9 technology, ensuring high specificity and efficiency in gene disruption.
Scientifically, these cell lines hold significant value in both basic and applied research settings. They enable the identification of novel therapeutic targets and the assessment of drug efficacy by providing a controlled environment to evaluate how the absence of PKCε affects drug responses. Moreover, they serve as vital models for elucidating the biochemical pathways influenced by PKCε, leading to breakthroughs in understanding complex diseases.
When compared to alternative products, PRKCE Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out for their robust validation and ease of use. They offer high reproducibility and are compatible with various experimental techniques, including flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence assays. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for researchers seeking to conduct multifaceted studies without the need for extensive preliminary validation.
For researchers and clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of PKC signaling and its implications in health and disease, PRKCE Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource. The potential findings from studies using these cell lines could guide new therapeutic strategies and enhance our understanding of disease mechanisms.
