STK4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: STK4

Official Full Name: serine/threonine kinase 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic kinase that is structurally similar to the yeast Ste20p kinase, which acts upstream of the stress-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. The encoded protein can phosphorylate myelin basic protein and undergoes autophosphorylation. A caspase-cleaved fragment of the encoded protein has been shown to be capable of phosphorylating histone H2B. The particular phosphorylation catalyzed by this protein has been correlated with apoptosis, and it's possible that this protein induces the chromatin condensation observed in this process.

Background

STK4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have undergone precise deletion of the STK4 gene, which encodes for the serine/threonine kinase known as MST1. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for investigating the roles of the STK4 gene in cellular processes such as apoptosis, proliferation, and responses to stress. The knockout design allows researchers to study the functional consequences of STK4 loss, offering insights into its involvement in various biological pathways and disease states, particularly in cancer and immune response mechanisms.

The primary function of STK4 includes its role in the Hippo signaling pathway, which is crucial for regulating cell growth and maintaining tissue homeostasis. By using these knockout cell lines, scientists can discern the specific molecular mechanisms that control cell fate decisions, elucidate the signaling cascades implicated in tumor suppression, and explore potential therapeutic targets for cancers and metabolic disorders. Additionally, these cell lines can be employed in drug discovery processes, particularly for evaluating the efficacy of novel compounds aimed at modulating the Hippo pathway.

One of the key advantages of STK4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the biological specificity obtained through the knockout approach, which allows for a clearer interpretation of results compared to knockdown methodologies that may have off-target effects. Furthermore, the stable and reproducible nature of these cell lines ensures that experimental outcomes are consistent, facilitating better reliability and validity in research findings.

These cell lines not only enhance the understanding of STK4-related biology but also empower researchers and clinicians with the ability to develop new strategies for therapeutic interventions. For laboratories focused on cancer research, immunology, and regenerative medicine, these knockout models provide a cutting-edge resource for advancing their scientific inquiries.
