TEK Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TEK

Official Full Name: TEK receptor tyrosine kinaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a receptor that belongs to the protein tyrosine kinase Tie2 family. The encoded protein possesses a unique extracellular region that contains two immunoglobulin-like domains, three epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains and three fibronectin type III repeats. The ligand angiopoietin-1 binds to this receptor and mediates a signaling pathway that functions in embryonic vascular development. Mutations in this gene are associated with inherited venous malformations of the skin and mucous membranes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Additional alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Background

TEK Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the TEK gene, which encodes the angiopoietin receptor Tie2, has been specifically disrupted or "knocked out." This innovative biologically relevant product provides researchers with a robust tool for studying the role of the TEK gene in vascular development, angiogenesis, and related cellular processes. By eliminating the expression of this crucial gene, scientists can investigate the consequences of TEK signaling disruptions, providing vital insights into various pathophysiological conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other disorders reliant on vascularization.

The functionality of TEK Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic specific biological pathways devoid of TEK signaling, allowing for in-depth analysis of downstream effects and compensatory mechanisms. The absence of Tie2 alters endothelial cell behavior, which is pivotal in understanding how blood vessels form and stabilize, and how this process can go awry in disease contexts. This model can also facilitate high-throughput screening for therapeutic compounds aimed at modulating angiogenesis.

In a scientific landscape where precise gene manipulation is key, TEK Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer significant value in both research and clinical settings. They provide researchers with the ability to discern the intricate roles of angiogenic factors in health and disease, and serve as a powerful model for drug discovery and development.

Compared to conventional models, the TEK Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a clear advantage by offering a targeted approach to gene disruption, enabling more reproducible and interpretable results. Their specificity enhances the reliability of experimental data, which is crucial for advancing our understanding of complex biological systems.

For researchers and clinicians focused on vascular biology or disease mechanisms, the TEK Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an indispensable resource. Our company prides itself on its commitment to providing cutting-edge genetic tools and fostering scientific inquiry, ensuring our customers have access to high-quality products that propel their research forward.
