SSR1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SSR1

Official Full Name: signal sequence receptor subunit 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The signal sequence receptor (SSR) is a glycosylated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane receptor associated with protein translocation across the ER membrane. The SSR consists of 2 subunits, a 34-kD glycoprotein encoded by this gene and a 22-kD glycoprotein. This gene generates several mRNA species as a result of complex alternative polyadenylation. This gene is unusual in that it utilizes arrays of polyA signal sequences that are mostly non-canonical. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Background

SSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically designed cellular models that facilitate the study of the SSR1 gene, which encodes for the signal sequence receptor subunit 1. This gene plays a pivotal role in protein translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, making these knockout cell lines invaluable for investigating the pathways involved in cellular protein sorting and folding. By disrupting the SSR1 gene, researchers can assess the downstream physiological consequences and elucidate the gene's function within various biological contexts.

The mechanisms behind the functionality of SSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolve around the deletion of the SSR1 gene, resulting in the loss of the corresponding protein. This knockout provides a unique opportunity to observe the impact on secretory pathways, ER stress responses, and overall cell viability. Furthermore, these lines are instrumental in validating hypotheses related to protein misfolding diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or Alzheimer's, where protein handling by the ER is compromised.

The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends beyond basic research; they have critical applications in drug discovery and development. For instance, understanding how SSR1 knockout influences cellular responses can lead to novel therapeutic targets for diseases associated with ER stress. Additionally, they serve as crucial tools in the pharmaceutical industry for testing the efficacy of compounds aimed at enhancing protein folding mechanisms.

Compared to conventional cell lines, SSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages, including a precise genetic modification that eliminates variable backgrounds often seen with other methods. This specificity ensures reproducibility and reliability in experimental results, making findings more robust and applicable across multiple studies.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of SSR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to reveal intricate cellular mechanisms and contribute substantially to our understanding of both normal physiology and diseased states. As experts in the field of genetic engineering and cell line development, our company is committed to providing high-quality, robust models that empower researchers to drive innovation and discovery in the life sciences.
