SCN1B Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SCN1B

Official Full Name: sodium voltage-gated channel beta subunit 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Voltage-gated sodium channels are heteromeric proteins that function in the generation and propagation of action potentials in muscle and neuronal cells. They are composed of one alpha and two beta subunits, where the alpha subunit provides channel activity and the beta-1 subunit modulates the kinetics of channel inactivation. This gene encodes a sodium channel beta-1 subunit. Mutations in this gene result in generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, Brugada syndrome 5, and defects in cardiac conduction. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Background

SCN1B Gene Knockout Cell Lines are sophisticated cellular models engineered to lack the functional SCN1B gene, which encodes the β1 subunit of voltage-gated sodium channels. These knockout lines are indispensable tools for unraveling the complexities of sodium channel biology and the associated pathophysiological mechanisms that underpin various neurological disorders. By eliminating the SCN1B gene, researchers can investigate the role of sodium channels in excitability, synaptic transmission, and neurodevelopment, providing critical insights into channelopathies such as epilepsy and cardiac arrhythmias.

The key functions of SCN1B knockout cell lines rest on the alteration of sodium channel function, leading to changes in action potential generation and cellular excitability. These models facilitate the study of not only the SCN1B contribution to channel dynamics but also the broader implications for neuronal signaling and network function. The absence of the β1 subunit dramatically affects channel localization and expression, providing a unique platform for assessing pharmacological responses and testing novel therapeutic strategies.

Scientifically, the use of SCN1B knockout cell lines extends into clinical research applications, where they serve as a basis for drug development aimed at sodium channel modulation. They are invaluable for high-throughput screening of potential therapeutic compounds that may restore normal channel function or mitigate the effects of dysregulation.

What sets our SCN1B Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other model systems is their precise genetic modification, which allows for enhanced specificity in experimental outcomes. Researchers benefit from the consistency and reliability of our cell lines, ensuring reproducibility in experimental designs while reducing variabilities commonly associated with alternative setups.

Ultimately, investing in SCN1B Gene Knockout Cell Lines empowers researchers and clinicians to deepen their understanding of sodium channel pathophysiology, advancing the field towards innovative treatment paradigms. Our company’s commitment to excellence in biological product development, combined with our comprehensive technical support and expertise, ensures that our SCN1B knockout lines provide unmatched value for the scientific community.
