Gene: SLC24A1
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 24 member 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the potassium-dependent sodium/calcium exchanger protein family. The encoded protein plays an important role in sodium/calcium exchange in retinal rod and cone photoreceptors by mediating the extrusion of one calcium ion and one potassium ion in exchange for four sodium ions. Mutations in this gene may play a role in congenital stationary night blindness. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

SLC24A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have had the SLC24A1 gene inactivated through targeted genome editing techniques. This gene encodes a sodium-calcium exchanger essential for cellular calcium homeostasis and plays a vital role in various physiological processes. The knockout of this gene enables researchers to study the consequences of its absence on cellular function, signaling pathways, and overall physiology, facilitating a deeper understanding of cellular mechanisms related to calcium dynamics and neurotransmission.
The primary function of the SLC24A1 knockout cell line is to serve as a model for investigating calcium-dependent signaling and its implications in both health and disease. By observing how the absence of SLC24A1 affects calcium influx and signaling pathways, researchers can uncover the gene's role in neural function, muscle contraction, and pathologies such as neurodegenerative diseases and muscle disorders. Moreover, the SLC24A1 knockout model offers an invaluable tool for drug discovery, enabling the screening of compounds that can modulate calcium signaling in diseases where calcium homeostasis is disrupted.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines is underscored by their application in both basic research and clinical studies. They provide a platform for examining the molecular underpinnings of conditions such as epilepsy, where aberrant calcium signaling is often implicated. Additionally, these cell lines allow researchers to explore potential therapeutic targets and test compounds aimed at restoring normal calcium dynamics.
What sets our SLC24A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their high specificity and reliability, achieved through state-of-the-art CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. These engineered cell lines come well-characterized, with confirmed genotypic and phenotypic features, allowing for immediate application in experimental setups without the need for extensive validation.
