Gene: TPP1
Official Full Name: tripeptidyl peptidase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sedolisin family of serine proteases. The protease functions in the lysosome to cleave N-terminal tripeptides from substrates, and has weaker endopeptidase activity. It is synthesized as a catalytically-inactive enzyme which is activated and auto-proteolyzed upon acidification. Mutations in this gene result in late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, which is associated with the failure to degrade specific neuropeptides and a subunit of ATP synthase in the lysosome.

TPP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specialized set of genetically modified cell lines in which the TPP1 (Telomere-Transporting Protein 1) gene has been effectively disrupted. These cell lines are invaluable tools for studying the functional role of TPP1 in cellular processes, specifically in the context of telomere maintenance and genomic stability. TPP1 is integral to the telomerase complex, facilitating telomere elongation by acting as a scaffold for other telomeric proteins. By knocking out this gene, researchers can elucidate the specific contributions of TPP1 to telomere dynamics, cellular senescence, and the aging process.
The primary mechanism by which TPP1 influences cellular function is through its interaction with telomerase and other telomeric proteins, promoting proper telomere replication and protection. By utilizing TPP1 knockout cell lines, researchers can explore how the absence of this protein affects telomerase activity and telomere length, thereby advancing our understanding of age-related diseases, cancer biology, and potential therapeutic targets.
These cell lines hold significant scientific value in both research and clinical settings. In research applications, they serve as a model for investigating telomere-related disorders, enabling insights into pathologies such as dyskeratosis congenita and various cancer types associated with telomere dysfunction. Furthermore, they offer a platform for testing novel therapeutic strategies aimed at telomere stabilization or enhancement of telomerase activity, a promising approach in the treatment of age-related diseases.
Compared to traditional cell lines, TPP1 knockout variants provide a more precise method for studying the impact of this specific protein role without the confounding effects present in models that retain TPP1 function. Additionally, these knockout lines facilitate high-throughput screening for drug candidates targeting telomerase and associated telomeric proteins, positioning them as vital resources for pharmaceutical advancements.
Researchers and clinicians recognize the importance of accurate genetic models, and TPP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their specificity, reliability, and ability to mirror natural physiological conditions. By leveraging our expertise in genetic manipulation and cell line development, we ensure these products meet the highest scientific standards, making them a pivotal offering for any laboratory engaged in cutting-edge telomere biology research.
