TRPV1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TRPV1

Official Full Name: transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Capsaicin, the main pungent ingredient in hot chili peppers, elicits a sensation of burning pain by selectively activating sensory neurons that convey information about noxious stimuli to the central nervous system. The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for capsaicin and is a non-selective cation channel that is structurally related to members of the TRP family of ion channels. This receptor is also activated by increases in temperature in the noxious range, suggesting that it functions as a transducer of painful thermal stimuli in vivo. Four transcript variants encoding the same protein, but with different 5' UTR sequence, have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

TRPV1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models created through the targeted deletion of the TRPV1 (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1) gene, which encodes a receptor known for its role in nociception, thermosensation, and inflammatory processes. These cell lines enable researchers to investigate the biological functions and signaling pathways mediated by TRPV1, which is pivotal in pain perception and various physiological responses to environmental stimuli.

The primary function of TRPV1 is to act as a sensory receptor that responds to noxious thermal and chemical stimuli, making it a critical component in pain signaling. By utilizing TRPV1 knockout cell lines, scientists can elucidate the consequences of TRPV1 loss on cellular behavior, ion channel activity, and receptor interactions. This understanding is essential in various fields, including pain research, neurobiology, and pharmacology, as it allows for the dissection of how TRPV1 contributes to sensory perception and its potential as a therapeutic target in pain management and inflammatory diseases.

The scientific importance of TRPV1 gene knockout cell lines extends into both basic research and clinical applications. These models facilitate the development of novel analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents that could lead to more effective pain management strategies with fewer side effects. Additionally, researchers can deploy these cell lines to study disease mechanisms related to aberrant TRPV1 expression and its associated pathologies.

Compared to other target validation methods, TRPV1 gene knockout cell lines offer a precise, in vivo-like context that reflects authentic biological conditions. This specificity allows for more accurate assessment of TRPV1 function and its pharmacological modulation, making them invaluable tools in drug discovery and development.

For researchers and clinicians seeking innovative solutions for pain and inflammatory disorders, TRPV1 gene knockout cell lines present a powerful resource. Their ability to model specific gene knockouts enhances the reliability and efficiency of experimental outcomes, ultimately driving forward advancements in therapeutic strategies.
