PRKG1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PRKG1

Official Full Name: protein kinase cGMP-dependent 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Mammals have three different isoforms of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (Ialpha, Ibeta, and II). These PRKG isoforms act as key mediators of the nitric oxide/cGMP signaling pathway and are important components of many signal transduction processes in diverse cell types. This PRKG1 gene on human chromosome 10 encodes the soluble Ialpha and Ibeta isoforms of PRKG by alternative transcript splicing. A separate gene on human chromosome 4, PRKG2, encodes the membrane-bound PRKG isoform II. The PRKG1 proteins play a central role in regulating cardiovascular and neuronal functions in addition to relaxing smooth muscle tone, preventing platelet aggregation, and modulating cell growth. This gene is most strongly expressed in all types of smooth muscle, platelets, cerebellar Purkinje cells, hippocampal neurons, and the lateral amygdala. Isoforms Ialpha and Ibeta have identical cGMP-binding and catalytic domains but differ in their leucine/isoleucine zipper and autoinhibitory sequences and therefore differ in their dimerization substrates and kinase enzyme activity.

Background

PRKG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to specifically disrupt the PRKG1 gene, which encodes the protein kinase G 1. This critical protein plays significant roles in various cellular processes, including regulation of smooth muscle contraction, neurotransmission, and cell proliferation. By employing homologous recombination or CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technologies, these knockout cell lines provide a powerful platform for studying the functional implications of PRKG1 loss on cellular behavior and metabolic pathways.

The key functions of the PRKG1 gene knockout include elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Researchers can investigate how the absence of PRKG1 affects signal transduction pathways and contributes to pathological conditions. Additionally, these cell lines serve as models that can be significantly valuable in drug discovery and development, allowing scientists to assess how potential therapeutics may interact with the PKG signaling cascade.

One of the unique advantages of PRKG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their ability to mimic in vivo conditions while being amenable to controlled laboratory experiments. Unlike traditional cell lines that may express variable, incomplete, or non-relevant gene profiles, these knockout lines offer consistency and precision. Furthermore, they eliminate the confounding influence of PRKG1, allowing for clearer insights into the physiological changes induced by drug interventions or genetic manipulations.

To researchers and clinicians, these cell lines represent an invaluable tool for advancing our understanding of PRKG1-related diseases and developing novel therapeutic strategies. The ability to utilize these knockout models can significantly enhance experimental reproducibility and reliability.

Our company's expertise in providing high-quality, validated biological products ensures that PRKG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines meet rigorous research standards, empowering scientists with the tools they need to push the boundaries of scientific exploration and therapeutic innovation.
