USF1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: USF1

Official Full Name: upstream transcription factor 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family, and can function as a cellular transcription factor. The encoded protein can activate transcription through pyrimidine-rich initiator (Inr) elements and E-box motifs. This gene has been linked to familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been defined on chromosome 21. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]

Background

USF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized human or murine cell lines engineered to express a targeted disruption of the upstream stimulatory factor 1 (USF1) gene. This knockout mechanism utilizes CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, resulting in precise modifications to the genome that disable the USF1 protein’s ability to act as a transcription factor. The primary function of USF1 involves the regulation of genes tied to glucose and lipid metabolism, immune responses, and cardiovascular functions. By creating cell lines devoid of this crucial regulator, researchers can explore the downstream effects of USF1 loss, thus elucidating its role in various biological processes.

The scientific importance of USF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their diverse applications in metabolic research, disease modeling, and drug development. These cell lines serve as indispensable tools for investigating the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer, where USF1 aberrations are implicated. By providing a controlled environment to study gene function and cellular responses, these knockout lines facilitate the validation of therapeutic targets and the assessment of potential drugs.

Comparatively, USF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages over traditional gene knockdown methods. The irreversible nature of gene knockout ensures a stable model with more consistent phenotypic outcomes, while transgenic models can be more resource-intensive and time-consuming to produce. Furthermore, these cell lines allow for easier manipulation and rapid screening, ensuring that researchers can obtain reliable results quickly.

For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, the availability of USF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provides an innovative asset in the quest for understanding complex biological systems and developing new therapies. With this product, they can gain insights into disease mechanisms that were previously obscured by the presence of functional USF1, enhancing the potential for significant breakthroughs in treatment.

Our company brings extensive expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, ensuring that the USF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines we offer meet the highest standards of quality and reliability, enabling transformative research outcomes.
