XIAP Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: XIAP

Official Full Name: X-linked inhibitor of apoptosisprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that belongs to a family of apoptotic suppressor proteins. Members of this family share a conserved motif termed, baculovirus IAP repeat, which is necessary for their anti-apoptotic function. This protein functions through binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors TRAF1 and TRAF2 and inhibits apoptosis induced by menadione, a potent inducer of free radicals, and interleukin 1-beta converting enzyme. This protein also inhibits at least two members of the caspase family of cell-death proteases, caspase-3 and caspase-7. Mutations in this gene are the cause of X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2 and 11.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Background

XIAP Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines that have been designed to lack the expression of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), a critical regulator of apoptosis. By knocking out the XIAP gene, these cell lines serve as an invaluable tool for studying the role of apoptosis in cellular processes and for exploring therapeutic targets in various diseases, particularly those related to cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

The key function of XIAP is its ability to inhibit caspases, which are essential proteases involved in the execution phase of apoptosis. In the absence of XIAP, researchers can observe enhanced apoptosis in response to apoptotic signals, enabling a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that drive cell death and therapeutic resistance. This feature allows for the investigation of novel apoptosis-inducing therapies, particularly in cancer cells that often exploit XIAP to evade death.

The scientific importance of XIAP Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their diverse applications in both research and clinical settings. These models are instrumental for drug discovery, enabling researchers to screen for compounds that can modulate apoptosis and evaluate the effectiveness of pro-apoptotic agents. Furthermore, they provide insights into the dysregulation of apoptosis in various diseases, paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies.

What sets our XIAP Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart is their robustness and reproducibility, ensuring that experiments yield consistent and reliable results. Unlike other apoptosis-deficient models, our cell lines undergo stringent quality control processes, ensuring high performance across various assays. Additionally, these cell lines are versatile, compatible with different culture conditions and experimental paradigms, making them a preferred choice for many researchers.

For researchers and clinicians, these cell lines represent a significant advancement in apoptosis research, offering unique opportunities to elucidate cell death pathways and develop new treatments. With our expertise in genetic engineering and a commitment to innovation, our company is dedicated to providing cutting-edge biological products that empower scientific discovery and translational research.
