Gene: SNTA1
Official Full Name: syntrophin alpha 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Syntrophins are cytoplasmic peripheral membrane scaffold proteins that are components of the dystrophin-associated protein complex. This gene is a member of the syntrophin gene family and encodes the most common syntrophin isoform found in cardiac tissues. The N-terminal PDZ domain of this syntrophin protein interacts with the C-terminus of the pore-forming alpha subunit (SCN5A) of the cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5. This protein also associates cardiac sodium channels with the nitric oxide synthase-PMCA4b (plasma membrane Ca-ATPase subtype 4b) complex in cardiomyocytes. This gene is a susceptibility locus for Long-QT syndrome (LQT) - an inherited disorder associated with sudden cardiac death from arrhythmia - and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). This protein also associates with dystrophin and dystrophin-related proteins at the neuromuscular junction and alters intracellular calcium ion levels in muscle tissue. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

SNTA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to disrupt the SNTA1 gene, which encodes the sensory neuron-specific protein alpha-1. By utilizing advanced CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these knockout cell lines enable researchers to investigate the gene's function and its role in various physiological and pathological processes. The inherent ability to disable SNTA1 provides a unique platform for understanding its involvement in cellular signaling pathways, neuron development, and potential contributions to diseases such as neuropathies and certain cancers.
The primary function of the SNTA1 Knockout Cell Lines is to serve as a tool for functional genomics, allowing scientists to elucidate molecular mechanisms and identify downstream effects resulting from the absence of the SNTA1 protein. Mechanistically, the knockout can lead to altered expression of associated proteins, changes in cellular morphology, and variations in cell signaling cascades, thereby providing insights into the gene's role in health and disease.
The scientific importance of these cell lines lies in their potential applications across various research domains, including neurobiology, developmental biology, and cancer research. The ability to generate isogenic models fosters comparative studies that can enhance drug discovery processes and therapeutic development. Moreover, these cell lines can help establish the biological relevance of SNTA1 in disease models, ultimately advancing translational research efforts.
Compared to traditional methods, these knockout cell lines offer precise genetic modifications, reducing off-target effects often associated with earlier gene deletion techniques. Furthermore, the reliability and repeatability of results obtained from these established models provide significant advantages for experimental reproducibility, crucial in securing research funding and publication credence.
For researchers and clinicians, the SNTA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource that not only streamlines experimental workflows but also augments the understanding of complex biological systems.
