Gene: PTPRF
Official Full Name: protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Fprovided 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 possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The extracellular region contains three Ig-like domains, and nine non-Ig like domains similar to that of neural-cell adhesion molecule. This PTP was shown to function in the regulation of epithelial cell-cell contacts at adherents junctions, as well as in the control of beta-catenin signaling. An increased expression level of this protein was found in the insulin-responsive tissue of obese, insulin-resistant individuals, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene, which encode distinct proteins, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PTPRF Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the functional analysis of the PTPRF gene, which encodes for a member of the receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatases. These cell lines have undergone gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, to create targeted deletions in the PTPRF gene, effectively silencing its expression. This allows researchers to investigate the biological roles of PTPRF in various cellular processes, particularly those related to cell signaling, proliferation, and differentiation.
The mechanism by which these knockout cell lines operate involves the absence of the PTPRF protein, which plays a pivotal role in modulating tyrosine phosphorylation states within the cell. This modification is crucial for several signaling pathways, including those implicated in cancer progression and immune responses. By utilizing these knockout lines, scientists can dissect the pathways that are influenced by PTPRF expression and observe resultant phenotypic changes, thus furthering our understanding of its biological significance.
In both basic and applied research settings, these cell lines are invaluable for studying disorders linked with dysregulated tyrosine phosphorylation, including cancers, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic syndromes. The specificity of the knockout allows for a more precise analysis, minimizing compensatory mechanisms often seen in traditional pharmacologic inhibition approaches.
What sets PTPRF Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their ease of use and high reproducibility. Researchers benefit from well-characterized lines that provide consistency across experiments, further enhanced by their compatibility with common culture methods and a variety of screens for therapeutic targets or biomarkers.
For researchers and clinicians invested in understanding the complexities of tyrosine phosphatase function, these knockout cell lines offer a robust platform for discovery, opening avenues to new therapeutic strategies.
