VPS13A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: VPS13A

Official Full Name: vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene may control steps in the cycling of proteins through the trans-Golgi network to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal recessive disorder, chorea-acanthocytosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

VPS13A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines in which the VPS13A gene has been functionally disrupted. This innovative product serves as an essential tool for understanding the biological roles of the VPS13A protein, which is implicated in various cellular processes, including lipid transport and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. By knocking out this gene, researchers can study the associated phenotypic changes and elucidate the mechanisms underlying VPS13A-related disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases.

The key function of these knockout lines lies in their ability to model the loss of VPS13A function in a controlled environment. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, the VPS13A gene is precisely edited, resulting in a significant reduction or complete absence of the VPS13A protein. This knockout model allows researchers to investigate cellular pathways affected by VPS13A, offering insights into its role in mitochondrial dynamics, endosomal trafficking, and lipid metabolism.

The scientific importance of VPS13A Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic and applied research, including drug discovery, functional genomics, and the exploration of disease mechanisms. By providing a reliable model for studying VPS13A deficiency, these cell lines contribute to the understanding of pathologies linked to lipid dysregulation and neurodegeneration, making them invaluable in both academic and clinical settings.

Compared to other genetic models, VPS13A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer several unique advantages. Firstly, they are generated using a precise gene-editing technique, ensuring a clean knockout without off-target effects, which increases the reliability of research findings. Secondly, the robust characterization of these cell lines allows for reproducibility and better validation of experimental results, which are vital for translational research.

For researchers and clinicians, the ability to study the VPS13A gene in a knockout context represents a significant advancement in elucidating its role in health and disease. These cell lines empower the scientific community to uncover pathways that may serve as novel therapeutic targets in VPS13A-related disorders.
