TJP3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TJP3

Official Full Name: tight junction protein 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase-like (MAGUK) protein family which is characterized by members having multiple PDZ domains, a single SH3 domain, and a single guanylate kinase-like (GUK)-domain. In addition, members of the zonula occludens protein subfamily have an acidic domain, a basic arginine-rich region, and a proline-rich domain. The protein encoded by this gene plays a role in the linkage between the actin cytoskeleton and tight-junctions and also sequesters cyclin D1 at tight junctions during mitosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. This gene has a partial pseudogene on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Background

TJP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically modified to disrupt the expression of the TJP3 gene, which encodes the tight junction protein zonula occludens-3 (ZO-3). This gene plays a critical role in maintaining cellular barrier integrity and regulating signaling pathways associated with cell adhesion and migration. The knockout of TJP3 provides a unique model to study the resulting phenotypic changes in cellular behavior, which can significantly advance the understanding of various biological processes, including epithelial barrier function and cell signaling in both normal and pathological conditions.

The primary mechanism by which the TJP3 knockout affects cell behavior involves changes in tight junction formation and cellular homeostasis. By eliminating the expression of ZO-3, these cell lines allow researchers to observe alterations in permeability, cell motility, and intercellular communication, providing insights into conditions such as cancer metastasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and neurological disorders.

Scientifically, TJP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in a wide array of research settings, from basic studies of cell biology to the development of therapeutic strategies targeting tight junction dynamics. Their applications extend to drug testing, where the response of cells lacking TJP3 can reveal vulnerabilities and potential therapeutic avenues that are otherwise masked in normal cell lines.

One significant advantage of utilizing TJP3 knockout lines over conventional cell lines is the ability to generate results that mimic pathological states more accurately, thereby enhancing the translational relevance of research findings. Moreover, these knockout lines can be invaluable for the validation of drug targets and the discovery of biomarkers associated with diseases linked to tight junction dysregulation.

For researchers and clinicians focused on uncovering the mechanistic underpinnings of disease and developing innovative treatment strategies, the TJP3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a powerful tool that promises to enhance experimental outcomes and accelerate the pace of discovery.
