SPTBN1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SPTBN1

Official Full Name: spectrin beta, non-erythrocytic 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Spectrin is an actin crosslinking and molecular scaffold protein that links the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton, and functions in the determination of cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins, and organization of organelles. It is composed of two antiparallel dimers of alpha- and beta- subunits. This gene is one member of a family of beta-spectrin genes. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal actin-binding domain, and 17 spectrin repeats which are involved in dimer formation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

SPTBN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines characterized by the targeted disruption of the SPTBN1 gene, which encodes the protein spectrin beta chain. This class of cell lines serves as invaluable tools for researchers investigating the role of spectrin in cellular mechanics, intracellular signaling, and structural integrity. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar genome editing techniques, these cell lines allow for precise genetic modifications, leading to a complete absence of the SPTBN1 protein, thereby facilitating the study of its biological functions and implications in disease models.

The key mechanisms of SPTBN1 gene knockout involve the elimination of spectrin beta chain expression, ultimately affecting cytoskeletal organization and cellular morphology. The resulting phenotypes enable researchers to dissect pathways involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, identify potential compensatory mechanisms in cells, and elucidate the contributions of the SPTBN1 gene to various physiological and pathological processes, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer progression.

The scientific significance of SPTBN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic and applied research fields. In clinical settings, understanding the mutations within the SPTBN1 gene may contribute to breakthroughs in therapeutic strategies for conditions linked to disrupted cytoskeletal function. In functional studies, these cell lines serve as a platform for drug screening and the development of novel interventions aimed at re-establishing normal spectrin function.

Compared to traditional knockout models and unmodified cell lines, SPTBN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer precise gene targeting, efficiency in gene editing, and reproducibility in experiments, resulting in more reliable data. Their use can lead to shorter timescales for experiment planning and execution, a significant advantage for researchers aiming for rapid results.

For researchers and clinicians focused on cytoskeletal biology, neurobiology, or disease mechanisms, SPTBN1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a unique opportunity to advance understanding and develop impactful solutions. Our company specializes in providing high-quality, reliable, and validated genetic models, ensuring that customers receive not only the products they need but also the expertise and support that facilitate groundbreaking research.
