TJP1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TJP1

Official Full Name: tight junction protein 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family of proteins, and acts as a tight junction adaptor protein that also regulates adherens junctions. Tight junctions regulate the movement of ions and macromolecules between endothelial and epithelial cells. The multidomain structure of this scaffold protein, including a postsynaptic density 95/disc-large/zona occludens (PDZ) domain, a Src homology (SH3) domain, a guanylate kinase (GuK) domain and unique (U) motifs all help to co-ordinate binding of transmembrane proteins, cytosolic proteins, and F-actin, which are required for tight junction function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Background

TJP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have undergone targeted deletion of the TJP1 gene, which encodes the protein ZO-1, a key component of tight junctions in epithelial cells. These cell lines serve as valuable tools for researchers studying the roles of tight junction proteins in cellular processes such as permeability, signaling, and the maintenance of cell polarity. By removing the TJP1 gene, scientists can elucidate the specific functions of ZO-1-related pathways and their implications in various physiological and pathological conditions.

The mechanistic action of TJP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines allows researchers to observe altered cellular behaviors, including changes in barrier integrity and intercellular communication. This is particularly significant in the context of diseases like cancer, inflammatory disorders, and infections, where tight junction dysfunction is implicated. The ability to create a controlled environment by knocking out specific genes offers unparalleled insights into cellular dynamics and therapeutic targets.

From a scientific perspective, TJP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold immense potential in both research and clinical applications. They can facilitate drug discovery, aid in assessing the effects of therapeutic compounds on cellular junction integrity, and contribute to the development of models for human diseases. By providing a clearer understanding of cellular pathways, these knockout lines can lead to innovative strategies in regenerative medicine or tissue engineering.

Compared to alternative models, such as transient transfection systems or whole organism models, TJP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced specificity and reproducibility. Their stable genetic alterations allow for long-term studies on gene function and interaction, ensuring that researchers can obtain consistent and reliable data.

For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of cellular junction dynamics and their impact on health, TJP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a crucial tool in the arsenal of modern biomedicine. By leveraging our expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, our company is committed to providing high-quality, well-characterized biological products that support groundbreaking research and innovation in the life sciences.
