STIM1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: STIM1

Official Full Name: stromal interaction molecule 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a type 1 transmembrane protein that mediates Ca2+ influx after depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores by gating of store-operated Ca2+ influx channels (SOCs). It is one of several genes located in the imprinted gene domain of 11p15.5, an important tumor-suppressor gene region. Alterations in this region have been associated with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenocrotical carcinoma, and lung, ovarian, and breast cancer. This gene may play a role in malignancies and disease that involve this region, as well as early hematopoiesis, by mediating attachment to stromal cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with fatal classic Kaposi sarcoma, immunodeficiency due to defects in store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in fibroblasts, ectodermal dysplasia and tubular aggregate myopathy. This gene is oriented in a head-to-tail configuration with the ribonucleotide reductase 1 gene (RRM1), with the 3' end of this gene situated 1.6 kb from the 5' end of the RRM1 gene. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Background

STIM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that lack the STIM1 (Stromal Interaction Molecule 1) gene, which plays a vital role in store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and intracellular signaling. These cell lines are constructed using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology to precisely ablate STIM1, thereby enabling researchers to investigate the signaling pathways and physiological roles regulated by calcium ions in various cellular contexts. By eliminating STIM1, these cell lines offer a unique opportunity to dissect the consequences of impaired calcium signaling, pivotal for processes such as muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and cell proliferation.

The functionality of STIM1 is crucial for orchestrating calcium influx in response to endoplasmic reticulum calcium depletion. In the absence of this protein, researchers can study compensatory mechanisms that cells might initiate, as well as the impact on cellular processes like apoptosis, immune response, and muscle contraction. This provides a powerful tool for elucidating the intricate signaling networks that underlie both normal physiology and various pathophysiological conditions.

The scientific importance of STIM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to their applications in research on diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases, where dysregulation of calcium signaling is often observed. This cell line enables targeted investigations that can lead to novel therapeutic discoveries.

In comparison to traditional cell lines, these knockout models provide a focused platform for understanding specific gene functions, maximizing the relevance of experimental outcomes. Notably, researchers benefit from the clarity of results, as the absence of STIM1 eliminates confounding variables related to its expression.

Researchers and clinicians will find exceptional value in STIM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines for their ability to facilitate insightful analyses into calcium-mediated signaling pathways, ultimately driving advancements in therapeutic strategies.
