Smarca4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SMARCA4

Official Full Name: SWI/SNF related BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit ATPase 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SWI/SNF family of proteins and is similar to the brahma protein of Drosophila. Members of this family have helicase and ATPase activities and are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SNF/SWI, which is required for transcriptional activation of genes normally repressed by chromatin. In addition, this protein can bind BRCA1, as well as regulate the expression of the tumorigenic protein CD44. Mutations in this gene cause rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome type 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Background

SMARCA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are biologically engineered cellular models specifically designed to facilitate the study of the SMARCA4 gene's function and its implications in various biological processes. SMARCA4, also known as BRG1, encodes a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, which plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression, DNA replication, and repair. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers can induce a complete loss of function of the SMARCA4 gene, allowing for in-depth analysis of its biological pathways and associated phenotypic outcomes.

These cell lines work by employing CRISPR-Cas9 or other genome-editing technologies to produce precise mutations that completely eliminate the expression of the SMARCA4 protein. This knockout effect provides a unique opportunity to investigate the role of SMARCA4 in cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and response to various stimuli, making these models particularly valuable in cancer research, developmental biology, and epigenetics.

The scientific importance of SMARCA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their application in both fundamental research and clinical studies. They allow for the exploration of the mechanisms of tumorigenesis related to SMARCA4 loss, as mutations in this gene have been associated with several malignancies, including lung and ovarian cancers. These models help elucidate potential therapeutic targets and biomarker development, translating findings from the bench to bedside.

When compared to traditional cell line models, SMARCA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present compelling advantages. They offer higher specificity in studying the direct effects of SMARCA4 loss, reducing confounding factors that may impede experimental outcomes in wild-type strains. Additionally, our commitment to quality ensures that these cell lines are validated for authenticity, offering robust reproducibility in experiments.

For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers aiming for precision in defining the role of epigenetic factors in disease, these knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools in accelerating discovery and innovation. Our company is dedicated to advancing biological research through our expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards for scientific rigor and applicability.
