Gene: ROBO3
Official Full Name: roundabout guidance receptor 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the Roundabout (ROBO) gene family that controls neurite outgrowth, growth cone guidance, and axon fasciculation. ROBO proteins are a subfamily of the immunoglobulin transmembrane receptor superfamily. SLIT proteins 1-3, a family of secreted chemorepellants, are ligands for ROBO proteins and SLIT/ROBO interactions regulate myogenesis, leukocyte migration, kidney morphogenesis, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis in addition to neurogenesis. This gene, ROBO3, has a putative extracellular domain with five immunoglobulin (Ig)-like loops and three fibronectin (Fn) type III motifs, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic tail with three conserved signaling motifs: CC0, CC2, and CC3 (CC for conserved cytoplasmic). Unlike other ROBO family members, ROBO3 lacks motif CC1. The ROBO3 gene regulates axonal navigation at the ventral midline of the neural tube. In mouse, loss of Robo3 results in a complete failure of commissural axons to cross the midline throughout the spinal cord and the hindbrain. Mutations ROBO3 result in horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS); an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital absence of horizontal gaze, progressive scoliosis, and failure of the corticospinal and somatosensory axon tracts to cross the midline in the medulla.

ROBO3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to investigate the roles and mechanisms of the ROBO3 gene in various biological processes. The ROBO3 gene encodes a member of the Roundabout receptor family, which is known to play critical roles in axon guidance during neural development and is implicated in several neurological conditions. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these knockout cell lines enable researchers to create precise gene disruptions, offering insights into ROBO3 function and its downstream signaling pathways.
The primary function of these cell lines lies in their capacity to elucidate the biological consequences of ROBO3 absence. The knockout of this gene can lead to altered cellular behaviors, including changes in neuronal pathfinding and migration patterns. This makes them invaluable tools for studying not only basic neurobiology but also the molecular underpinnings of diseases such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders, where ROBO3 expression plays a pivotal role.
Scientifically, ROBO3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as powerful models for both in vitro and in vivo studies, facilitating drug discovery and development by providing a platform for screening potential therapeutics targeting ROBO3-mediated pathways. Compared to traditional methods of gene disruption, our knockout cell lines offer greater specificity, reproducibility, and ease of use, ensuring that researchers can obtain reliable data in a time-efficient manner.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of these cell lines extends beyond mere experimental utility; they embody a bridge between fundamental research and clinical application. By enabling a deeper understanding of ROBO3-related mechanisms, these cell lines can contribute to the development of targeted therapies for neurological disorders, making them essential assets in the research toolbox.
