Gene: WFS1
Official Full Name: wolframin ER transmembrane glycoproteinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transmembrane protein, which is located primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum and ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in brain, pancreas, heart, and insulinoma beta-cell lines. Mutations in this gene are associated with Wolfram syndrome, also called DIDMOAD (Diabetes Insipidus, Diabetes Mellitus, Optic Atrophy, and Deafness), an autosomal recessive disorder. The disease affects the brain and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene can also cause autosomal dominant deafness 6 (DFNA6), also known as DFNA14 or DFNA38. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

WFS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models wherein the WFS1 gene has been precisely disrupted through targeted gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9. The WFS1 gene encodes the Wolframin protein, which plays a crucial role in cellular stress responses and calcium homeostasis, and is notably implicated in various pathophysiological conditions, including Wolfram syndrome and diabetes mellitus. By developing these knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively investigate the gene's functions, elucidate its mechanisms, and explore its impact on cellular physiologies under normal and stressed conditions.
The primary function of the WFS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the examination of the molecular pathways that involve the WFS1 protein. Without the influence of the WFS1 gene, scientists can study the resultant changes in cellular behavior, protein interactions, and metabolic processes. This model is particularly valuable in research environments focusing on diabetes, neurodegeneration, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, making it an essential tool for translational medicine.
In clinical and research settings, these cell lines are instrumental in drug discovery, gene therapy development, and disease modelling. They allow for high-throughput screening of therapeutic agents targeting pathways of interest affected by WFS1 dysregulation. Compared to traditional methods, such as stable or transient transfection with RNA interference, the WFS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a more reliable and permanent alteration in gene expression, leading to reproducible and controlled studies.
The unique selling points of these cell lines include their specificity to the WFS1 gene, the reduction of off-target effects often present in conventional approaches, and their ability to be utilized across various experimental platforms. This enhances the research capabilities for academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology firms seeking to unravel complex biological processes influenced by the WFS1 protein.
For researchers and clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and related therapies, WFS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pivotal resource in advancing scientific knowledge and therapeutic strategy development.
