PTPRB Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PTPRB

Official Full Name: protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Bprovided 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 one intracytoplasmic catalytic domain, thus belongs to receptor type PTP. The extracellular region of this PTP is composed of multiple fibronectin type_III repeats, which was shown to interact with neuronal receptor and cell adhesion molecules, such as contactin and tenascin C. This protein was also found to interact with sodium channels, and thus may regulate sodium channels by altering tyrosine phosphorylation status. The functions of the interaction partners of this protein implicate the roles of this PTP in cell adhesion, neurite growth, and neuronal differentiation. Alternate transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

Background

PTPRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are innovative biological tools engineered to facilitate the study of the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type B (PTPRB) gene by providing a genetic model where this gene has been selectively deleted. These knockout cell lines enable researchers to investigate the role of PTPRB in various cellular processes, such as signal transduction, cell adhesion, and immune responses. By eliminating the expression of PTPRB, scientists can observe the resultant phenotypic changes, gain insights into disease mechanisms, and better understand the gene's contributions to cellular functions.

The key mechanism behind these knockout cell lines lies in the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, which precisely introduces double-strand breaks at the target locus. This targeted approach ensures a high rate of gene disruption, allowing for robust studies into the loss-of-function phenotypes associated with PTPRB deficiency. Furthermore, these cell lines can be readily used in various assays, including proliferation, migration, and signaling pathway analyses, making them versatile tools for both basic and applied research.

The scientific significance of PTPRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines spans multiple fields, including cancer research, immunology, and regenerative medicine. Understanding the role of PTPRB is crucial as alterations in its function have been implicated in several pathologies, including cancer progression and autoimmune disorders. Consequently, these cell lines offer value in the development of therapeutic approaches, providing a platform for testing potential drugs that target these pathways.

What sets PTPRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional cell lines is their specificity and the assurance of complete gene knockout, minimizing off-target effects present in older methods. Researchers and clinicians will find these cells to be invaluable for producing repeatable and reproducible data, crucial for high-quality scientific outcomes. Furthermore, these knockout lines facilitate a more detailed understanding of therapeutic targets and disease mechanisms, acting as a catalyst for innovation in life sciences research.
