VPS26A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: VPS26A

Official Full Name: VPS26 retromer complex component Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to a group of vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) genes. The encoded protein is a component of a large multimeric complex, termed the retromer complex, involved in retrograde transport of proteins from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. The close structural similarity between the yeast and human proteins that make up this complex suggests a similarity in function. Expression studies in yeast and mammalian cells indicate that this protein interacts directly with VPS35, which serves as the core of the retromer complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

VPS26A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the VPS26A gene, a critical component of the retromer complex involved in protein trafficking and intracellular sorting. These cell lines are engineered through precise genome editing techniques to achieve complete ablation of the VPS26A gene, thereby allowing researchers to investigate the gene's functional roles in cellular processes such as receptor recycling, endocytic pathways, and overall cellular homeostasis.

The primary mechanism of action for the VPS26A knockout involves disrupting the normal retromer complex assembly and function, which in turn affects the transport of cargo proteins from the endosome to the trans-Golgi network, leading to a cascade of downstream effects on cellular signaling and metabolism. This unique knockout model is vital for understanding pathological conditions where retromer malfunction may contribute to diseases like neurodegeneration and cancer.

In scientific research, VPS26A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for elucidating the biological functions of VPS26A and its implications in disease models. They provide a robust platform for drug discovery, pathway analysis, and the development of therapeutic strategies targeting intracellular trafficking dysfunctions. Compared to wild-type cell lines, these knockout models significantly enhance the specificity of experimental outcomes by eliminating confounding signals arising from VPS26A expression, thus offering clearer insights into relevant cellular mechanisms.

The advantages of using VPS26A knockout cell lines extend beyond mere genetic manipulation; they provide unique insights that drive innovation in molecular biology and medicinal research. The precision of gene editing ensures reproducibility and reliability of results, making them an essential tool for clinicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies dedicated to discovering novel interventions for retromer-related disorders.
