Gene: RXRB
Official Full Name: retinoid X receptor betaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family of nuclear receptors which are involved in mediating the effects of retinoic acid (RA). The encoded protein forms homodimers with the retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D receptors, increasing both DNA binding and transcriptional function on their respective response elements. This gene lies within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region on chromosome 6. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

RXRB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the retinoic acid receptor beta (RXRB) gene. This gene plays a crucial role in mediating the biological effects of retinoids, which are derivatives of Vitamin A involved in numerous physiological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and immune response. By creating these knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the specific functions of RXRB and its associated signaling pathways in various biological contexts.
The key function of RXRB gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide insights into the mechanisms by which RXRB influences gene expression and cellular behavior. These cell lines are generated using advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology, ensuring precise genomic modifications. This allows researchers to elucidate the role of RXRB in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and metabolic pathways through comparative analyses with wild-type cell lines under various experimental conditions.
The scientific importance of RXRB knockout cell lines is evident in both basic and applied research, particularly in cancer biology, developmental studies, and pharmacology. These models enable scientists to explore the potential therapeutic effects of retinoids and their derivatives, providing critical data that could facilitate the development of novel treatments for diseases associated with RXRB dysregulation.
One significant advantage of RXRB gene knockout cell lines over traditional cell models is their specificity and reproducibility. Compared to pharmacological inhibition or overexpression approaches, knockout models offer an authentic representation of gene function without confounding variables introduced by drug interactions or off-target effects. This specificity empowers researchers to draw more reliable conclusions and develop targeted therapies.
For researchers and clinicians focused on understanding retinoid biology or developing related therapies, these cell lines represent a valuable tool that can accelerate scientific discoveries and improve translational outcomes.
