Gene: PTPRA
Official Full Name: protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP contains an extracellular domain, a single transmembrane segment and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. This PTP has been shown to dephosphorylate and activate Src family tyrosine kinases, and is implicated in the regulation of integrin signaling, cell adhesion and proliferation. Three alternatively spliced variants of this gene, which encode two distinct isoforms, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PTPRA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models in which the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type A (PTPRA) gene has been deliberately disrupted. By utilizing advanced gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, these cell lines allow researchers to study the biological roles of PTPRA in various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The knockout of this gene can lead to significant changes in downstream signaling pathways, making these cell lines essential tools for dissecting the complex regulatory mechanisms involved in cellular signaling.
The primary function of PTPRA is to modulate signal transduction pathways by promoting the dephosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues on target proteins, thus playing a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth and development. By providing a means to observe the consequences of PTPRA gene disruption, these knockout cell lines facilitate a deeper understanding of both its physiological and pathological implications, particularly in cancer research and metabolic disorders.
In terms of scientific significance, PTPRA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in both research and clinical settings. They offer a robust platform to explore the molecular basis of diseases where tyrosine phosphorylation plays a key role, such as cancers, autoimmune conditions, and nervous system disorders. These cell lines can also be utilized in drug discovery programs, testing the efficacy of new therapeutic agents targeting PTPRA-associated pathways.
Compared to traditional cell models, PTPRA Gene Knockout Cell Lines present unique advantages, including more precise control over genetic variables and the ability to replicate specific phenotypes related to PTPRA deficiencies. Furthermore, their use can lead to more homogeneous cell populations, enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes.
Researchers and clinicians will find these knockout cell lines particularly valuable for their high-quality, reproducible results that drive innovation in basic and applied biological research. The ability to study the effects of PTPRA in a controlled environment ultimately accelerates the discovery of potential therapeutic strategies and interventions.
