Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended control\u003cbr\u003e\n: Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab288558). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.\u003cbr\u003e\nWe will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology.

Expressed predominantly in the brain and thymus ATRX plays an important role in regulating gene expression by modulating chromatin structure. Its expression in neural tissues suggests its importance in brain development where it aids in transcriptional regulation and maintenance of genomic stability.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nATRX functions by forming part of the ATRX-DAXX complex. This complex plays a vital role in the deposition of the histone variant H3.3 into heterochromatin regions affecting the structure and function of these genomic segments. ATRX through the ATRX-DAXX complex also maintains telomere integrity by preventing uncontrolled telomere elongation. As such ATRX is important in cellular processes like DNA replication repair and mitotic progression emphasizing its role in maintaining genetic fidelity across cell divisions.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nATRX is an important component in chromatin remodeling and telomere maintenance pathways. It interacts closely with the DAXX protein within these pathways affecting the histone exchange mechanisms. ATRX also engages with other proteins such as p53 integrating its function into the DNA damage repair pathway. Through these pathways ATRX ensures proper chromatin dynamics and participates in mechanisms guarding genomic stability.\u003cbr\u003e\nATRX mutations have significant implications for conditions such as alpha thalassemia\/mental retardation syndrome and certain cancers. The protein's altered functions can lead to alpha thalassemia due to improper blood cell gene expression and mental retardation from impaired brain development. In cancers mutations in ATRX often disrupt telomere maintenance contributing to oncogenesis. The relationship between ATRX and telomerase highlights the complex network through which ATRX mutations can influence telomere dynamics in cancer progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845127164073,"sku":"ab287232","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab287232","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
