Gene: SLC4A8
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 4 member 8provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that functions to transport sodium and bicarbonate ions across the cell membrane. The encoded protein is important for pH regulation in neurons. The activity of this protein can be inhibited by 4,4'-Di-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

SLC4A8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to study the functional implications of the SLC4A8 gene, which encodes a sodium bicarbonate transporter that plays a crucial role in ion balance and pH maintenance within various cell types. These knockout cell lines are generated through advanced genetic engineering techniques, eliminating the expression of the SLC4A8 gene. By removing this gene, researchers can elucidate its role in cellular processes such as neurotransmitter release, working to understand its implications in diseases like epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
The primary function of SLC4A8 in cellular mechanisms involves the regulation of intracellular bicarbonate and sodium ion concentrations, which are critical for maintaining pH homeostasis and facilitating various transport processes. Through the observation of these knockout cell lines, researchers can assess changes in cellular ion flux, signaling pathways, and metabolic activities, providing valuable insights into how disruptions in SLC4A8 function contribute to pathological states.
The scientific importance of SLC4A8 knockout cell lines lies in their unique application in both research and clinical settings. These models are pivotal for drug screening, pathway analysis, and understanding the molecular basis of diseases that involve aberrant ion transport. They can also serve as a platform for developing targeted therapeutics, enhancing the translation of bench research into clinical applications.
What distinguishes our SLC4A8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines from alternative products on the market is their high specificity and reliability, coupled with rigorous validation processes that ensure reproducibility and accuracy in experimental results. This specificity allows researchers to make precise correlations between SLC4A8 impairment and observed cellular phenotypes, minimizing confounding variables that might arise with less refined models.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, these cell lines offer a valuable tool for advancing knowledge in ion transport functions and their associated disorders, thereby accelerating the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Our company's commitment to innovation and scientific rigor underscores our expertise in providing high-quality biological products that meet the evolving needs of the scientific community, reflecting our dedication to supporting impactful research in the life sciences.
