TNKS Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TNKS

Official Full Name: tankyraseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Enables NAD+-protein poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; histone binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; post-translational protein modification; and regulation of chromosome organization. Acts upstream of or within peptidyl-serine phosphorylation and peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including chromosome, telomeric region; mitotic spindle pole; and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Background

TNKS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to possess knockout mutations in the Tankyrase (TNKS) genes, critical components in the cellular pathways regulating telomere maintenance and Wnt signaling. These cell lines provide researchers with powerful tools to explore the functional roles of TNKS in cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and response to DNA damage, by enabling the examination of TNKS activity in both normal and disease contexts.

The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines revolves around the elimination of TNKS protein expression, which directly impacts key biological processes. By disrupting the functions of TNKS, researchers can observe downstream effects, allowing for the investigation of various cellular signaling pathways and their implications in cancer biology, regenerative medicine, and degenerative diseases. This offers invaluable insight for both fundamental research and the development of targeted therapies.

Scientifically, TNKS gene knockout cell lines are critical in unraveling the complexity of Wnt signaling pathways, where TNKS has been implicated in the modulation of β-catenin pathways. These cell lines are immensely valuable in clinical settings as they aid in the identification and validation of new therapeutic targets, ultimately contributing to the advancement of precision medicine.

Compared to alternative models, TNKS gene knockout cell lines provide a more straightforward approach to studying the specific functions of TNKS without the confounding effects of heterogeneity often present in animal models or less specialized cell lines. Their use leads to more reliable and reproducible results, which can significantly expedite the drug discovery process.

Researchers and clinicians will find TNKS gene knockout cell lines indispensable in their studies, as they bring clarity to the roles of TNKS in various pathological conditions. Backed by our company's expertise in developing high-quality biological products, we ensure that our cell lines meet rigorous standards, offering a reliable solution for advancing scientific knowledge and improving clinical outcomes.
