Gene: TIMP4
Official Full Name: TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. The secreted, netrin domain-containing protein encoded by this gene is involved in regulation of platelet aggregation and recruitment and may play role in hormonal regulation and endometrial tissue remodeling.

TIMP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to disrupt the expression of the Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 4 (TIMP4) gene. TIMP4 plays a vital role in regulating extracellular matrix remodeling and modulating the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are critical for various physiological processes, including wound healing, tissue repair, and cancer metastasis. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers can study the consequences of TIMP4 loss and gain insights into its biological functions.
The key mechanism underlying these cell lines involves CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring precise genomic editing that creates a permanent knockout of the TIMP4 gene. This allows for a thorough examination of cellular behavior in the absence of TIMP4, enabling researchers to elucidate pathways involved in cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. Furthermore, these cell lines offer a controlled environment to investigate how TIMP4 impacts disease states such as carcinogenesis and fibrosis.
The scientific importance of TIMP4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both fundamental research and clinical applications. They provide valuable insights into ECM dynamics and can aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Understanding TIMP4's roles can guide researchers in designing interventions aimed at diseases characterized by abnormal matrix remodeling.
Compared to traditional cell lines that express TIMP4, these knockout models present unique advantages, allowing for the dissection of TIMP4-related pathways without confounding effects. This specificity enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes, making them a preferred choice for researchers seeking to conduct rigorous, targeted studies.
