ZC3HC1 Knockout cell line (AC16)

Ubigene gene knockout cell lines mediated by optimized CRISPR-Cas9 technology provide reliable in vitro models for investigating gene function, signaling pathways, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic targets.

ZC3HC1 (zinc finger C3HC-type containing 1) encodes an F-box-containing protein that functions as a component of an SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The complex regulates cell-cycle progression by targeting cyclin B1 for ubiquitin-mediated degradation, thereby controlling the transition from G2 phase to mitosis. ZC3HC1 therefore contributes to regulation of cell-cycle timing through targeted protein degradation.

Human cardiac ventricular cells are represented by AC16, an immortalized cell line derived from primary human ventricular tissue. The cells were generated by fusion of primary adult ventricular cardiomyocytes with a human fibroblast-like cell line carrying a temperature-sensitive SV40 large T antigen. AC16 exhibits cardiac-related characteristics and is used as an in vitro model for studies of human cardiomyocyte biology.

Comprehensive quality control includes STR authentication, sterility testing (bacteria and fungi), and mycoplasma screening to ensure purity and performance. Genotype is confirmed by two rounds of PCR and Sanger sequencing, and complete validation reports are provided for make-to-order products.
