Gene: RPGR
Official Full Name: retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulatorprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with a series of six RCC1-like domains (RLDs), characteristic of the highly conserved guanine nucleotide exchange factors. The encoded protein is found in the Golgi body and interacts with RPGRIP1. This protein localizes to the outer segment of rod photoreceptors and is essential for their viability. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms of this gene have been reported, but the full-length natures of only some have been determined.

RPGR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically modified to disrupt the function of the RPGR (Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator) gene. This gene is crucial for the maintenance of photoreceptor cells in the retina, and its mutations can lead to retinitis pigmentosa, a progressive degenerative eye disease. By utilizing precise gene-editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, these knockout cell lines facilitate the study of RPGR's biological function and address the underlying mechanisms of retinal degeneration.
The key functionality of RPGR Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide a controlled environment for researchers to investigate the molecular pathways affected by the absence of the RPGR gene. These models allow for detailed assessments of changes in cell viability, signal transduction, and phototransduction pathways, key in understanding both the disease process and therapeutic responses. The use of these cell lines provides insights that are essential in developing targeted interventions for retinitis pigmentosa and related disorders.
Scientifically, the RPGR gene knockout cell lines represent a significant advancement in ocular research and genetics. They serve as valuable tools in high-throughput drug screening, biomarker discovery, and the evaluation of gene therapy techniques aimed at restoring vision in affected patients.
What sets this product apart from conventional cell lines is its specificity and precision in simulating the disease state of retinal cells, thereby enhancing the relevance of research findings. Additionally, the established protocols for utilizing these lines streamline experimental workflows, reducing time-to-results and accelerating innovation.
Researchers and clinicians can greatly benefit from the enhanced insights provided by RPGR knockout cell lines. They offer a robust platform for investigating RPGR function and exploring novel therapeutic avenues, making them indispensable for those tackling retinal diseases.
