Gene: UNC13A
Official Full Name: unc-13 homolog Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the UNC13 family. UNC13 proteins bind to phorbol esters and diacylglycerol and play important roles in neurotransmitter release at synapses. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

UNC13A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially developed cellular models characterized by the targeted disruption of the UNC13A gene, essential for vesicular neurotransmitter release. These genetically modified cell lines provide a vital tool for researchers studying synaptic transmission, neurodegenerative diseases, and various neurological disorders. The knockout of UNC13A leads to significant changes in neurotransmitter release mechanisms, making these cell lines invaluable for elucidating the roles of this gene in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival.
The key function of UNC13A lies in its involvement in exocytosis, wherein it modulates the release of neurotransmitters by regulating vesicle priming and fusion at the presynaptic terminal. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the development of these knockout models, researchers can directly investigate the phenotypic consequences of UNC13A deletion, including altered synaptic function and impaired neuronal communication. This capability allows for the effective simulation of conditions analogous to various pathologies, providing deeper insights into the underlying mechanisms of diseases such as Alzheimer's and schizophrenia.
From a scientific perspective, these cell lines represent a breakthrough in research methodologies, offering more specific and controlled environments compared to alternative approaches such as RNA interference or overexpression studies, which may yield less definitive results. By standardizing the model system, researchers can generate reproducible data that contributes to a clearer understanding of the biological implications of UNC13A in a range of therapeutic contexts.
Moreover, UNC13A Gene Knockout Cell Lines facilitate high-throughput screening of potential drug candidates aimed at ameliorating conditions associated with synaptic dysfunction. Their unique properties make them essential for both basic research and translational applications, where elucidating mechanisms of action is critical for developing effective therapies.
