XPC Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: XPC

Official Full Name: XPC complex subunit, DNA damage recognition and repair factorprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the XPC complex, which plays an important role in the early steps of global genome nucleotide excision repair (NER). The encoded protein is important for damage sensing and DNA binding, and shows a preference for single-stranded DNA. Mutations in this gene or some other NER components can result in Xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased sensitivity to sunlight with the development of carcinomas at an early age. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Background

XPC Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to facilitate the study of the XPC gene, which plays a crucial role in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway involved in DNA damage recognition and repair. These cell lines are created through targeted genome editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, leading to the complete knockout of the XPC gene. This genomic alteration allows researchers to investigate the cellular response to DNA lesions, including those induced by environmental factors such as UV radiation and chemical mutagens.

The primary mechanism of action for these knockout cell lines hinges on their inability to effectively recognize and repair bulky DNA adducts, thereby serving as a powerful tool for elucidating the biological consequences of defective DNA repair mechanisms. This functionality is particularly significant in cancer research, where compromised DNA repair pathways often contribute to tumorigenesis and the development of certain cancers. Moreover, XPC gene knockout cell lines enable the assessment of potential therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring DNA repair capabilities.

In comparison to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or non-targeted knockouts, XPC Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more robust and specific platform for studying NER-related pathways. This specificity allows researchers to derive clearer insights into the molecular mechanisms driving DNA damage response and repair, making research outcomes more relevant and applicable to clinical settings.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of utilizing XPC Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to enhance understanding of DNA repair deficiencies—a crucial component in the development of targeted therapies and personalized medicine strategies. By providing a reliable system to model and investigate these defects, the product supports advancements in therapeutic approaches for conditions linked to DNA repair anomalies.

With years of dedicated expertise in cell line development and molecular research, our company is committed to delivering high-quality biological products that empower scientists and clinicians in their groundbreaking work. Our XPC Gene Knockout Cell Lines exemplify this commitment, offering a valuable resource for those seeking to unlock the complexities of DNA repair mechanisms and their implications in health and disease.
