SNCA Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SNCA

Official Full Name: synuclein alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Alpha-synuclein is a member of the synuclein family, which also includes beta- and gamma-synuclein. Synucleins are abundantly expressed in the brain and alpha- and beta-synuclein inhibit phospholipase D2 selectively. SNCA may serve to integrate presynaptic signaling and membrane trafficking. Defects in SNCA have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease. SNCA peptides are a major component of amyloid plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Background

SNCA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that have been genetically modified to lack the expression of the alpha-synuclein (SNCA) gene. This gene plays a critical role in normal synaptic function and is notably implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease. The knockout of SNCA allows researchers to study the biological consequences of its absence, providing insights into pathogenic mechanisms associated with synucleinopathies and enabling the identification of potential therapeutic targets.

The primary mechanism of action for SNCA gene knockout cell lines involves the disruption of normal synaptic vesicle regulation and the consequent impact on neurodegenerative processes. By observing these cells, researchers can assess alterations in cellular pathways, neurotransmitter release, and protein aggregation dynamics that are related to the neurodegeneration pathway. Furthermore, these knockout models can be used in drug screening and disease modeling to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic agents designed to combat synuclein-related disorders.

The significance of SNCA gene knockout cell lines in both research and clinical settings cannot be overstated. They provide an invaluable tool to elucidate the role of alpha-synuclein in cellular stress responses, neuroinflammation, and neuronal degeneration, which are critical aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. Their application extends to biomarker discovery, where alterations in cellular behavior can serve as indicators of disease progression or treatment response.

Compared to alternative cellular models, our SNCA gene knockout cell lines offer several advantages, including enhanced specificity in the study of alpha-synuclein's role in pathogenesis and standardized conditions that allow for reproducible and reliable results. The ability to utilize these cell lines effectively bridges the gap between in vitro studies and the complexities observed in vivo, providing a more accurate representation of disease mechanisms.

For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, investing in SNCA gene knockout cell lines is invaluable for advancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and for accelerating the development of innovative therapies. Our company prides itself on delivering high-quality, precise biological products backed by rigorous scientific validation and a commitment to supporting the advancement of research in pivotal areas of human health.
