PSEN1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PSEN1

Official Full Name: presenilin 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with an inherited form of the disease carry mutations in the presenilin proteins (PSEN1; PSEN2) or in the amyloid precursor protein (APP). These disease-linked mutations result in increased production of the longer form of amyloid-beta (main component of amyloid deposits found in AD brains). Presenilins are postulated to regulate APP processing through their effects on gamma-secretase, an enzyme that cleaves APP. Also, it is thought that the presenilins are involved in the cleavage of the Notch receptor, such that they either directly regulate gamma-secretase activity or themselves are protease enzymes. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene, the full-length nature of only some have been determined.

Background

PSEN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed for the study of the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene, which is critical in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. These cell lines encompass a unique modification where the PSEN1 gene is fully inactivated, allowing researchers to investigate the downstream effects that arise from its absence. The key function of these cell lines is to serve as a tool for elucidating the biological mechanisms that contribute to amyloid precursor protein processing and the resultant formation of amyloid-beta plaques, which are hallmark features of Alzheimer’s disease.

The mechanisms of action within the PSEN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines allow for enhanced understanding of neurodegenerative pathways. By comparing the signaling and cellular regulatory networks in these knockout models to wild-type controls, researchers can pinpoint critical alterations in cell function, neurotransmitter release, and synaptic plasticity, thus providing insights into potential therapeutic targets.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both basic research and clinical applications, offering a platform for drug discovery and validation of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, they are valuable for studying the interactions between genetic predisposition and environmental factors in neurodegeneration.

One of the distinct advantages of choosing our PSEN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines over other available models is the precision with which the gene knockout is achieved, which ensures minimal off-target effects and greater reproducibility in experimental results. Furthermore, our cell lines are created under stringent conditions, ensuring high viability and stability, which are crucial for extended experimentation.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of these cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate groundbreaking research that may lead to discoveries in treatment modalities for Alzheimer's and other related disorders. They represent a critical stepping stone for advancing our understanding of neurobiology and translating that knowledge into therapeutic solutions.

Our company specializes in the development of cutting-edge biological products tailored for research purposes, with a commitment to quality and innovation, ensuring that scientists have the tools necessary to pioneer discoveries in neurodegenerative disease research.
