Gene: SLC22A18
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 67 member 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is one of several tumor-suppressing subtransferable fragments located in the imprinted gene domain of 11p15.5, an important tumor-suppressor gene region. Alterations in this region have been associated with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, and lung, ovarian, and breast cancer. This gene is imprinted, with preferential expression from the maternal allele. Mutations in this gene have been found in Wilms' tumor and lung cancer. This protein may act as a transporter of organic cations, and have a role in the transport of chloroquine and quinidine-related compounds in kidney. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

SLC22A18 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized laboratory cell lines that have been genetically engineered to disrupt the SLC22A18 gene, a member of the SLC22 family of solute carriers that are integral in the transport of various metabolites and therapeutic agents across cell membranes. By precisely knocking out this gene, these cell lines serve as invaluable tools for studying the physiological and pathological roles of the SLC22A18 gene in cellular processes such as drug metabolism, cellular signaling, and nutrient transport.
The key function of SLC22A18 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic and elucidate the phenotypic consequences of SLC22A18 gene loss. Researchers can explore the gene's impact on various biological functions through in vitro experiments, including drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Moreover, these knockout models enable the investigation of SLC22A18's involvement in disease states such as cancer and metabolic disorders, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets.
The scientific importance of SLC22A18 gene knockout cell lines is underscored by their diverse applications in both research and clinical settings. That includes drug discovery, functional genomics, and the development of personalized medicine approaches. The ability to identify and validate potential drug targets expedites the translation of research findings into clinical applications, potentially leading to more effective treatments for related diseases.
One of the standout advantages of using SLC22A18 gene knockout cell lines compared to alternative models is their specificity and reliability. Unlike non-targeted methods, these cell lines provide a precise genetic background, eliminating confounding variables that can arise from incomplete gene silencing or off-target effects. In addition, they facilitate high-throughput screening processes that can lead to efficient data collection and analysis.
For researchers and clinicians focused on drug metabolism and therapeutic responses, SLC22A18 gene knockout cell lines represent a powerful asset that can enhance understanding of cellular mechanisms, inform drug development, and drive innovations in patient care. The availability of these cell lines reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge tools and resources in the field of molecular biology.
