Gene: RB1
Official Full Name: RB transcriptional corepressor 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a negative regulator of the cell cycle and was the first tumor suppressor gene found. The encoded protein also stabilizes constitutive heterochromatin to maintain the overall chromatin structure. The active, hypophosphorylated form of the protein binds transcription factor E2F1. Defects in this gene are a cause of childhood cancer retinoblastoma (RB), bladder cancer, and osteogenic sarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

RB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines in which the Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) gene has been intentionally disrupted or knocked out. The RB1 gene is critically involved in cell cycle regulation and tumor suppression, making it pivotal in understanding mechanisms of cancer progression and therapeutic responses. By utilizing these specific knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the effects of RB1 loss, which is frequently observed in various malignancies, particularly retinoblastoma and other cancers linked to dysregulated cell proliferation.
The primary function of RB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the investigation of the cellular and molecular consequences of RB1 inactivation. The loss of RB1 leads to an unregulated transition from the G1 phase to the S phase of the cell cycle, resulting in enhanced proliferation. These cell lines thus serve as valuable models for studying tumorigenesis, drug resistance mechanisms, and the efficacy of novel anticancer therapies.
In the realm of cancer research and drug development, these knockout cells play a significant role. They allow for enhanced understanding of cellular pathways affected by RB1 loss, enabling researchers to identify potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for patient stratification in clinical settings. Their application extends beyond basic research; they can also aid in the development of targeted therapies aimed at cancers harboring RB1 mutations.
One of the clear advantages of using RB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their ability to provide reproducible and consistent results, which are crucial for validating findings across studies. Compared to alternatives, such as transient knockdown models that lack stability, these knockout lines offer a permanent, time-saving solution that permits long-term experiments and extensive analysis.
Researchers, clinicians, and biopharmaceutical companies will find these RB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines invaluable for their research endeavors to better understand cancer biology and therapeutic approaches. With our company’s dedication to providing high-quality, genetically modified cell lines, we ensure that scientists have the best tools at their disposal to advance their research and make ground-breaking discoveries in cancer therapeutics.
