Gene: STX1A
Official Full Name: syntaxin 1Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the syntaxin superfamily. Syntaxins are nervous system-specific proteins implicated in the docking of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic plasma membrane. Syntaxins possess a single C-terminal transmembrane domain, a SNARE [Soluble NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein)-Attachment protein REceptor] domain (known as H3), and an N-terminal regulatory domain (Habc). Syntaxins bind synaptotagmin in a calcium-dependent fashion and interact with voltage dependent calcium and potassium channels via the C-terminal H3 domain. This gene product is a key molecule in ion channel regulation and synaptic exocytosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

STX1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to investigate the functional role of the syntaxin 1A (STX1A) gene, which plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter release and synaptic function. These cell lines are created using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology, wherein the STX1A gene is precisely knocked out, enabling researchers to study the downstream effects of its absence on neuronal processes.
The primary function of STX1A in synaptic vesicle exocytosis involves facilitating membrane fusion, a process critical for neurotransmission. By utilizing STX1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing synaptic transmission and investigate how alterations in STX1A levels correlate with various neurological disorders, such as epilepsy or schizophrenia. This provides a vital platform for testing potential therapeutic interventions and understanding disease pathophysiology.
The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their application in both basic research and clinical studies. In research settings, they serve as a valuable tool for assessing synaptic transmission dynamics and developing drug screening assays. Clinically, these models hold promise for elucidating the biological underpinnings of synaptic dysfunctions associated with neurodegenerative diseases, offering avenues for targeted therapy development.
Compared to traditional cell lines that might still express the STX1A gene, our STX1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a unique selling point by providing a clean genetic background devoid of confounding factors. This specificity enhances the reproducibility of experimental results and reduces the variability often encountered in biological studies.
For researchers and clinicians, these cell lines represent an invaluable resource, facilitating cutting-edge studies that advance our understanding of synaptic biology and inform strategies for developing novel neurological therapies. Our company specializes in providing high-quality, rigorously validated biological products, ensuring that scientists are equipped with the best tools to drive their research forward.
