Gene: SPTAN1
Official Full Name: spectrin alpha, non-erythrocytic 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Spectrins are a family of filamentous cytoskeletal proteins that function as essential scaffold proteins that stabilize the plasma membrane and organize intracellular organelles. Spectrins are composed of alpha and beta dimers that associate to form tetramers linked in a head-to-head arrangement. This gene encodes an alpha spectrin that is specifically expressed in nonerythrocytic cells. The encoded protein has been implicated in other cellular functions including DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. Mutations in this gene are the cause of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-5. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

SPTAN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered model systems specifically designed to study the function of the spectrin alpha chain, a key structural protein involved in maintaining cell shape and regulating cellular processes. In these cell lines, the SPTAN1 gene has been precisely disrupted, facilitating a deeper investigation into its biological roles and the implications of its dysregulation in various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer.
These knockout cell lines operate through the precise CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, which allows for specific gene targeting to enhance experimental rigor. By eliminating SPTAN1 expression, researchers can observe alterations in cellular morphology, cytoskeletal integrity, and cellular signaling pathways. This enables a comprehensive analysis of the functional consequences of SPTAN1 and its potential downstream effects on cellular behavior, aiding in the identification of therapeutic targets.
The scientific importance of SPTAN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to serve as invaluable tools in both basic and applied research. They provide insights into the mechanisms of diseases linked to spectrin dysfunction while offering a robust platform for screening compounds that may restore normal function or inhibit pathological pathways in clinical settings.
Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type or overexpressing systems, these knockout cell lines offer a precise means of studying the absence of SPTAN1, leading to clearer interpretations of experimental results. Additionally, they come with high reproducibility and validated performance, ensuring reliable data generation.
For researchers and clinicians focused on exploring the complexities of the cytoskeletal framework and its impact on health and disease, SPTAN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical asset. They enable groundbreaking research into therapeutic interventions and disease mechanisms that could pave the way for innovative treatments.
