Gene: VPS33A
Official Full Name: VPS33A core subunit of CORVET and HOPS complexesprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a tethering protein and a core subunit of the homotypic fusion and protein sorting (HOPS) complex. The HOPS complex and a second endosomal tethering complex called the class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complex, perform diverse functions in endocytosis including membrane tethering, RabGTPase interaction, activation and proofreading of synaptic-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) assembly to drive membrane fusion, and endosome-to-cytoskeleton attachment. The HOPS complex controls endosome maturation as well as endosome traffic to the lysosome. This complex is essential for vacuolar fusion and is required for adaptor protein complex 3-dependent transport from the golgi to the vacuole. The encoded protein belongs to the Sec1/Munc18 (SM) family of SNARE-mediated membrane fusion regulators. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with a novel mucopolysaccharidosis-like disease. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

VPS33A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that feature a targeted disruption of the VPS33A gene, which encodes a protein crucial for vesicular trafficking and membrane fusion processes. These knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools for studying the roles of VPS33A in cellular biology and investigating its implications in various pathological conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders and certain types of cancer.
The key mechanism underlying the function of VPS33A revolves around its role in mediating the interactions between different cellular membranes, thereby facilitating the transport of proteins and lipids. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, our VPS33A knockout models allow researchers to achieve precise gene editing, resulting in a complete loss of VPS33A expression. This provides a robust system for examining the downstream effects of VPS33A deficiency, enabling studies on altered cellular processes such as endocytosis, exocytosis, and autophagy.
The scientific importance of VPS33A Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated; they are pivotal in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of diseases where VPS33A is implicated, and they offer a straightforward model for drug screening. Their application extends into pharmacological research, where they can be used to evaluate the efficacy of potential therapeutics targeting vesicular trafficking pathways.
Compared to other gene editing tools, our VPS33A knockout cell lines are distinguished by their reproducibility, specificity, and ease of use, making them superior choices for high-throughput screening and functional studies. Furthermore, our extensive validation processes ensure that these cell lines exhibit consistent phenotypic alterations linked to VPS33A loss, thereby providing reliable data for research.
For researchers and clinicians focused on uncovering the complexities of cellular mechanisms in health and disease, these knockout cell lines offer unparalleled value. Our commitment to innovation and scientific excellence positions us as a leader in providing high-quality biological products tailored to advance research initiatives.
