Gene: SLC12A5
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 12 member 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: K-Cl cotransporters are proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane K-Cl cotransporter that can function in either a net efflux or influx pathway, depending on the chemical concentration gradients of potassium and chloride. The encoded protein can act as a homomultimer, or as a heteromultimer with other K-Cl cotransporters, to maintain chloride homeostasis in neurons. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

SLC12A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines refer to genetically engineered cell lines in which the SLC12A5 gene, which encodes the sodium-dependent potassium chloride cotransporter (NKCC1), has been effectively disrupted. This gene plays a critical role in cellular ion homeostasis, particularly in neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release. By employing precise gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9, researchers can create knockout cell lines that enable in-depth studies of the physiological and pathological functions of SLC12A5, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of its role in various neurological conditions.
The primary function of SLC12A5 knockout cell lines revolves around their ability to provide a platform for investigating the effects of impaired ion transport on cellular signaling pathways, particularly in the context of diseases such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, and stroke. The absence of functional SLC12A5 leads to measurable alterations in chloride homeostasis and membrane potential, allowing scientists to elucidate mechanisms that underlie excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission.
Scientifically, SLC12A5 knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools in both research and clinical settings. They allow for high-throughput screening of pharmacological agents targeting ion transport mechanisms, making them essential in drug discovery processes. Furthermore, their applications extend to studying gene-environment interactions and understanding the molecular basis of neurological disorders, thus contributing significantly to translational research.
