Gene: PSENEN
Official Full Name: presenilin enhancer, gamma-secretase subunitprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Presenilins, which are components of the gamma-secretase protein complex, are required for intramembranous processing of some type I transmembrane proteins, such as the Notch proteins and the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Signaling by Notch receptors mediates a wide range of developmental cell fates. Processing of the beta-amyloid precursor protein generates neurotoxic amyloid beta peptides, the major component of senile plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease. This gene encodes a protein that is required for Notch pathway signaling, and for the activity and accumulation of gamma-secretase. Mutations resulting in haploinsufficiency for this gene cause familial acne inversa-2 (ACNINV2). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

PSENEN Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a crucial innovation in the field of molecular biology, specifically tailored for researchers studying the Alzheimer's disease pathway. These cell lines have been genetically engineered to inactivate the PSENEN gene, which plays a pivotal role in the gamma-secretase complex responsible for processing amyloid precursor protein (APP). By knocking out the PSENEN gene, these cell lines provide a valuable tool to elucidate mechanisms of amyloidogenesis and the subsequent pathological aggregation of beta-amyloid peptides.
Key functionalities of PSENEN Gene Knockout Cell Lines involve their ability to model the genetic dysregulation commonly observed in Alzheimer's disease. The absence of functional PSENEN leads to altered signaling pathways, enabling researchers to investigate not just the direct consequences on amyloid beta production, but also the downstream cellular effects related to neuroinflammation and synaptic integrity. This mechanistic insight is vital for the development and testing of therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology.
The scientific importance of these cell lines is multifaceted. In research settings, they facilitate high-throughput screening for potential drug candidates targeting amyloid formation and unraveling the complexities of neurodegeneration. Clinically, they offer a platform to validate biomarkers and therapeutic interventions, potentially transforming diagnostic and treatment paradigms for Alzheimer's disease.
Unique selling points of PSENEN Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their specificity, reproducibility, and the comprehensive characterization of morphological and functional alterations they exhibit. Compared to alternative models, these cell lines provide a closer approximation of human disease pathways, thus enhancing the translational potential of research findings.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of PSENEN Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated. They not only advance our understanding of Alzheimer's disease mechanisms but also accelerate the timeline for breakthrough therapies. With a commitment to scientific advancement, our company ensures that every product is rooted in rigorous research and quality assurance, empowering the scientific community to make meaningful discoveries in the quest to combat neurodegenerative diseases.
