Gene: SLC22A4
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 22 member 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Polyspecific organic cation transporters in the liver, kidney, intestine, and other organs are critical for elimination of many endogenous small organic cations as well as a wide array of drugs and environmental toxins. The encoded protein is an organic cation transporter and plasma integral membrane protein containing eleven putative transmembrane domains as well as a nucleotide-binding site motif. Transport by this protein is at least partially ATP-dependent. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SLC22A4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the functional expression of the SLC22A4 gene, which encodes a member of the solute carrier family of transporters involved in the uptake of various organic molecules, including drugs and metabolites. The creation of these knockout cell lines enables researchers to investigate the biological role of SLC22A4 in cellular processes, including drug transport, metabolism, and pathophysiological conditions.
The primary function of SLC22A4 is to facilitate the transport of specific organic cations across cell membranes, which plays a crucial role in pharmacokinetics and the cellular response to different therapeutics. By using SLC22A4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, scientists can elucidate the transport mechanisms and signaling pathways that contribute to drug effectiveness and toxicity, allowing for a more informed approach to drug development and therapeutic intervention.
This product holds significant scientific importance as it can be applied in various research settings, particularly in pharmacogenomics and toxicology. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to study the influence of genetic variations in SLC22A4 on drug efficacy and adverse reactions, which is vital for personalized medicine approaches. Furthermore, understanding the role of SLC22A4 may also provide insights into diseases where disrupted organic cation transport is implicated, such as inflammatory bowel disease or certain forms of cancer.
The SLC22A4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages over traditional cell lines, including enhanced specificity and reproducibility in experiments aimed at understanding the transporter’s role. Unlike alternatives, these knockout models eliminate confounding factors associated with native SLC22A4 expression, allowing for clearer interpretations of experimental data and resulting in more robust findings.
For researchers and clinicians, these knockout cell lines represent a valuable tool for advancing knowledge in drug transport dynamics and genetic influences on pharmacotherapy. The ability to manipulate specific gene expressions provides crucial insights into both basic and clinical research, fostering innovation in developing effective therapeutic strategies.
