SIGMAR1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SIGMAR1

Official Full Name: sigma non-opioid intracellular receptor 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a receptor protein that interacts with a variety of psychotomimetic drugs, including cocaine and amphetamines. The receptor is believed to play an important role in the cellular functions of various tissues associated with the endocrine, immune, and nervous systems. As indicated by its previous name, opioid receptor sigma 1 (OPRS1), the product of this gene was erroneously thought to function as an opioid receptor; it is now thought to be a non-opioid receptor. Mutations in this gene has been associated with juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 16. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Background

SIGMAR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the SIGMAR1 gene has been inactivated, allowing for the investigation of its biological functions and implications in various disease states. The SIGMAR1 gene encodes the sigma-1 receptor, a chaperone protein that is critically involved in several cellular processes, including protein folding, calcium signaling, and modulation of ion channels. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can explicitly observe the effects of SIGMAR1 absence on cellular physiology, signaling pathways, and overall cellular homeostasis.

The primary function of SIGMAR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to serve as a robust model for the study of neurodegenerative conditions, psychological disorders, and cancer, where the sigma-1 receptor's role has been implicated. The mechanism behind their utility lies in the ability to elucidate the downstream effects of SIGMAR1 deletion, providing insights into its contribution to disease mechanisms, potential therapeutic targets, and biomarker identification. This makes them invaluable for preclinical studies as they allow researchers to dissect pathway interactions and assess drug responses in an environment lacking the sigma-1 receptor.

The scientific significance of SIGMAR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated, especially given their applications across diverse research frontiers—ranging from neuroscience to oncology. Compared to alternative models, such as overexpressing receptors or using wild-type lines, knockout systems provide a clearer picture of specific gene functions, reducing confounding variables related to receptor overactivity.

These cell lines present clear advantages due to their ease of use, reproducibility, and ability to be tailored for various experimental conditions. For researchers and clinicians alike, they represent a powerful tool for understanding complex biological systems and developing targeted therapies. Additionally, the broad implications of SIGMAR1 in health and disease underscore the importance of utilizing such models for cutting-edge research.
