VPS26C Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: VPS26C

Official Full Name: VPS26 endosomal protein sorting factor Cprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The region of chromosome 21 between genes CBR and ERG (CBR-ERG region), which spans 2.5 Mb on 21q22.2, has been defined by analysis of patients with partial trisomy 21. It contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of many characteristics of Down syndrome, including morphological features, hypotonia, and cognitive disability. The DSCR3 (Down syndrome critical region gene 3) gene is found in this region and is predictated to contain eight exons. DSCR3 is expressed in most tissues examined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

VPS26C Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the VPS26C gene, which encodes a protein involved in the endosomal-lysosomal transport pathway. This product is a powerful tool for scientists studying the intricacies of intracellular trafficking, protein sorting, and the role of VPS26C in cellular homeostasis. By eliminating this key gene, researchers can observe the resultant phenotypic changes, providing insights into the biological consequences of impaired endosomal function.

The primary mechanism through which VPS26C operates involves its role in the retromer complex, which is crucial for the retrieval of transmembrane proteins from the endosomal compartments back to the trans-Golgi network. In the absence of VPS26C, disruptions in this retrograde transport can lead to the accumulation of cargo proteins in the endosomes, ultimately affecting cellular signaling and metabolism. This cell line facilitates the exploration of not only basic cellular processes but also how dysregulation of these pathways could contribute to numerous diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer.

In terms of scientific importance, VPS26C Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as an invaluable model for elucidating the functions of retromer complex proteins in health and disease. Their applications extend to drug development, target validation, and the study of cellular response mechanisms under various conditions. Unlike alternative models, which may retain functional VPS26C, these knockout lines provide a clear and unambiguous assessment of VPS26C-related processes, thus yielding more reliable and interpretable data.

The unique selling points of VPS26C Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their versatility in diverse experimental conditions, robust reproducibility, and the potential to generate specific insights into cellular trafficking anomalies. These features empower researchers and clinicians to advance their investigations or therapeutic strategies with greater confidence. Our offering highlights extensive validation and quality assurance, ensuring that each cell line maintains its knockout integrity consistently.

By leveraging our expertise in biological product development, our company is committed to providing cutting-edge tools that significantly enhance research capabilities in cellular and molecular biology. As we continue to innovate and support the scientific community, our VPS26C Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand as a testament to our dedication to excellence in biological research solutions.
