The PIP5K1C gene, also known as phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type 1 gamma, encodes an enzyme that plays an essential role in cellular processes in Homo sapiens (human species). It is a member of the type I phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase family and is essential for the production of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a key phospholipid involved in various cellular mechanisms such as signal transduction, cytoskeletal arrangement, and membrane trafficking. The enzyme is able to bind to the FERM domain of talin through its C-terminus, which emphasizes its role in the dynamic regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and the stabilization of integrin-mediated cell adhesion. In the cellular context, PIP5K1C exhibits multiple functions, including promoting endocytosis, regulating synaptic vesicle efflux, and managing cell-cell adhesion. Its influence extends to the assembly of adherens junctions, the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, and the formation of membrane ruffles, thus emphasizing its potential impact on cell morphology and motility. Furthermore, the enzymatic role of PIP5K1C and its involvement in clathrin-mediated endocytosis underscore its importance in vesicle trafficking processes. Its expression is prominent in tissues such as the right hemisphere of the cerebellum, testis, and endometrial stromal cells, highlighting its diverse expression pattern depending on the cellular functions required in different tissues.
Human PIP5K1C knockout cell line - HEK293 is a valuable tool for biological and medical research. The following are the main applications of this cell: 1. Signal Transduction Studies: These cell lines are essential for studying the role of PIP5K1C in signal transduction pathways. By analyzing the effects of PIP5K1C knockout on signaling dynamics, researchers can elucidate the molecular pathways in which PIP5K1C participates and how its absence affects cellular communication and responses. 2. Membrane Trafficking Analysis: PIP5K1C is involved in the regulation of membrane trafficking processes. Knockout cell lines allow detailed studies of how PIP5K1C loss affects endocytosis, exocytosis, and vesicle trafficking, which is essential for understanding cellular logistics and function. 3. Phosphatidylinositol Studies: Since PIP5K1C is a key enzyme in the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway, its knockout facilitates the study of phosphatidylinositol-dependent pathways. Researchers can better understand the role of this enzyme in phosphatidylinositol turnover and its broader impact on cell physiology. 4. Cancer Research: PIP5K1C knockout cell lines can be used to study its role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Given that PIP5K1C is associated with cell proliferation and survival, its knockout allows researchers to explore the possibility of novel cancer treatments targeting this enzyme. 5. Drug Development and Screening: PIP5K1C knockout cell lines can be used to screen potential drugs to understand their efficacy in the absence of this enzyme. This application is critical to identifying drugs that can modulate pathways and processes that depend on PIP5K1C, thereby aiding drug discovery and development.
Customer Q&As
What is the recommended growth medium? Does it require antibiotic selection?

A: DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
It is not required to add the selection antibiotics when culturing the KO cells.

How is the knockout cell line validated?

A: The knockout cell product is validated by PCR amplification and Sanger Sequencing to confirm the mutation at the genomic level. Please find the detailed mutation info in the datasheet.

Is the product a single clonal cell or mixed cell pool?

A: Single clonal cell.

Can I confirm gene knockout by RT-qPCR?

A: No. This knockout cell product is generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to induce small insertions or deletions (indels) resulting in frameshift mutations. Although these frameshift mutations typically disrupt the coding gene, there is a possibility that the non-functional transcript may still be transcribed. Consequently, this could potentially yield misleading results when analyzed by RT-qPCR.

How can I store the cell product?

A: The cell line should be stored in liquid nitrogen for long-term preservation.

Is it possible to get multiple knockout clones for my GOI?

A: For most cases, we often keep at least 2 clones with different frameshift mutations. Please feel free to contact us to check if there are additional available clones.
