Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RI0148
Description This cell line is engineered to overexpress human KCNQ4.
Background The human KCNQ4 gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of Kv7.4, a voltage-gated potassium channel. KCNQ4 loss-of-function mutations cause hereditary deafness. Kv7.4 channels expressed in neurons are therapeutic targets in seizure.
Target Gene KCNQ4
Gene Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Abbr CHO-HuKCNQ4
Alias KCNQ4, DFNA2, Kv7.4, KV7.4, DFNA2A
Host Cell CHO-K1
Host Cell Species Cricetulus griseus (Chinese hamster)
Applications

1. Gene expression studies

Q & A

Customer Reviews

Customer Q&As
What should be done if insufficient protein expression is observed in the Human KCNQ4 Stable Cell Line-CHO?

A: Optimization of the expression vector, such as changing the promoter or enhancer sequences, or adjusting the culture conditions like temperature, CO2 concentration, and medium composition, can be attempted to increase protein expression.

How can the stability of the Human KCNQ4 Stable Cell Line-CHO be improved to maintain consistent protein expression during long-term culture?

A: Stable expressing cell clones can be selected and maintained using limiting dilution cloning or resistance markers and selection pressure, such as G418.

How to control contamination risks during large-scale production using the Human KCNQ4 Stable Cell Line-CHO?

A: Operate in a sterile environment, regularly check for microbial contamination, use antibiotics to prevent contamination, and regularly sterilize culture equipment.

What could be the reasons for a sudden decrease in the growth rate of the Human KCNQ4 Stable Cell Line-CHO?

A: Potential reasons include cell aging due to over-passaging, insufficient nutrient in the culture medium, cell contamination, or inappropriate culture conditions.

How to improve the viability of Human KCNQ4 Stable Cell Line-CHOafter thawing from cryopreservation?

A: Optimize the freezing and thawing procedures, use efficient cryopreservation media, slow cooling and rapid thawing, and transfer cells to pre-warmed culture medium immediately after thawing.

How to ensure genetic stability in the Human KCNQ4 Stable Cell Line-CHO after genetic manipulation?

A: To ensure genetic stability in Human KCNQ4 Stable Cell Line-CHO after genetic manipulation, employ CRISPR/Cas9 for site-specific integration into genomic "safe harbors" that are resistant to gene silencing and maintain high transcriptional activity
