SMAD4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SMAD4

Official Full Name: SMAD family member 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Smad family of signal transduction proteins. Smad proteins are phosphorylated and activated by transmembrane serine-threonine receptor kinases in response to transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling. The product of this gene forms homomeric complexes and heteromeric complexes with other activated Smad proteins, which then accumulate in the nucleus and regulate the transcription of target genes. This protein binds to DNA and recognizes an 8-bp palindromic sequence (GTCTAGAC) called the Smad-binding element (SBE). The protein acts as a tumor suppressor and inhibits epithelial cell proliferation. It may also have an inhibitory effect on tumors by reducing angiogenesis and increasing blood vessel hyperpermeability. The encoded protein is a crucial component of the bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway. The Smad proteins are subject to complex regulation by post-translational modifications. Mutations or deletions in this gene have been shown to result in pancreatic cancer, juvenile polyposis syndrome, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Background

SMAD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to eliminate the expression of the SMAD4 gene, a critical component of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway. This innovative product enables researchers to explore the multifaceted roles of SMAD4 in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. By knocking out this essential gene, scientists can better understand its contributions to various physiological and pathological conditions, including fibrosis, cancer progression, and immune responses.

The primary function of SMAD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the pathological states where SMAD4 is inactivated, thus providing a valuable model for studying tumors that exhibit alterations in TGF-β signaling. These cell lines provide insights into the downstream effects of SMAD4 loss, enabling the elucidation of alternative signaling pathways that may be activated in its absence. The research involving these knockout lines can lead to the identification of potential therapeutic targets and foster innovations in treatment strategies.

The significance of SMAD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into both research and clinical applications. They serve as pivotal tools for cancer biologists investigating mechanisms of tumorigenesis, aiding in drug discovery processes as well as biomarker identification. Furthermore, these cell lines can be utilized in preclinical development to assess drug sensitivity or resistance in SMAD4-deficient tumor models, which can enhance personalized medicine approaches.

When compared to other existing models, SMAD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages such as reliable and reproducible knockout efficiency, streamlined protocols for experimentation, and the ability to conduct high-throughput screening. These features deliver significant efficiency and efficacy over traditional models, where gene alteration might not be as stable or controllable.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the availability of SMAD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represents a highly valuable resource, facilitating critical discoveries that can lead to groundbreaking advancements in therapeutic strategies. Our company, with a commitment to excellence in genetic engineering and cell line development, ensures that each product meets rigorous quality standards, empowering the scientific community with reliable tools to drive their research forward.
