VAPB Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: VAPB

Official Full Name: VAMP associated protein B and Cprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a type IV membrane protein found in plasma and intracellular vesicle membranes. The encoded protein is found as a homodimer and as a heterodimer with VAPA. This protein also can interact with VAMP1 and VAMP2 and may be involved in vesicle trafficking.

Background

VAPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered cellular models where the VAPB gene has been selectively disrupted, providing a unique tool for studying the functional effects of this gene in various biological contexts. VAPB (Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein B) is known for its role in cellular processes such as protein transport and lipid metabolism, as well as its involvement in neurodegenerative diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can explore the phenotypic consequences of VAPB gene deletion, allowing for deeper insights into its role in disease mechanisms.

The key mechanism at play with the VAPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the direct observation of cellular behavior in the absence of VAPB expression. This enables researchers to analyze changes in cellular pathways, assess alterations in extracellular vesicle release, and investigate mitochondrial function, which are critical for understanding conditions linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegeneration.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their applications in both fundamental and applied research settings. In the laboratory, they serve as a vital model for drug discovery and testing, particularly for therapies targeting neurodegenerative diseases. In clinical research, they provide a relevant model for elucidating the pathological mechanisms of conditions associated with VAPB mutations.

Compared to other gene knockout models, our VAPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced specificity and reliability, as they are developed using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technologies. This method ensures a precise and efficient gene disruption with minimal off-target effects, leading to reproducible results that are critical for scientific investigations. Furthermore, these cell lines are rigorously characterized for consistent performance, providing an edge over conventional models.

In summary, VAPB Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians aiming to dissect the complexities surrounding VAPB function and its implications in disease. Our company specializes in offering high-quality, genetically-engineered cell lines that equip scientists with advanced tools to push the boundaries of biological and medical research, ensuring that they can achieve their scientific goals with confidence and precision.
