TRPV6 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TRPV6

Official Full Name: transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 6provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of multipass membrane proteins that functions as calcium channels. The encoded protein contains N-terminal ankyrin repeats, which are required for channel assembly and regulation. Translation initiation for this protein occurs at a non-AUG start codon that is decoded as methionine. This gene is situated next to a closely related gene for transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 5 (TRPV5). This locus has experienced positive selection in non-African populations, resulting in several non-synonymous codon differences among individuals of different genetic backgrounds.

Background

TRPV6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines lacking the expression of the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 6 (TRPV6) gene, a calcium-permeable ion channel that plays a pivotal role in calcium homeostasis and signaling in various cell types. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these knockout cell lines provide a powerful tool for studying the functional implications of TRPV6 deficiency, particularly in contexts such as cancer progression, cell proliferation, and mineral homeostasis.

The key functionality of TRPV6 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic physiological states where TRPV6 is inhibited or absent, allowing researchers to elucidate the channel's specific contributions to cellular processes. In terms of mechanisms, these cell lines can help dissect the pathways influenced by calcium influx through TRPV6, thereby shedding light on how alterations in calcium signaling can affect cellular behavior and overall cellular physiology.

The scientific importance of TRPV6 knockout cell lines extends beyond basic research; they have significant applications in drug discovery, toxicology, and therapeutic development, particularly for conditions related to calcium dysregulation and malignancies. For instance, TRPV6 has been implicated in breast cancer, and investigating its role in tumorigenesis could lead to novel therapeutic strategies.

What sets our TRPV6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is the precision and reliability of our gene editing techniques, combined with the ease of use in various laboratory settings. Our lines undergo rigorous validation to ensure consistent performance and reproducibility, giving researchers the confidence they need in their experimental designs.

Ultimately, the value of TRPV6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines to researchers and clinicians lies in their ability to facilitate critical advancements in our understanding of calcium signaling and its implication in human health and disease. Leveraging our extensive expertise in genetic engineering and biological research, we are committed to supporting the scientific community by providing high-quality research tools that drive innovation in biomedical and clinical research.
