Gene: ABCD1
Official Full Name: ATP binding cassette subfamily D member 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ALD subfamily, which is involved in peroxisomal import of fatty acids and/or fatty acyl-CoAs in the organelle. All known peroxisomal ABC transporters are half transporters which require a partner half transporter molecule to form a functional homodimeric or heterodimeric transporter. This peroxisomal membrane protein is likely involved in the peroxisomal transport or catabolism of very long chain fatty acids. Defects in this gene have been identified as the underlying cause of adrenoleukodystrophy, an X-chromosome recessively inherited demyelinating disorder of the nervous system.

ABCD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cells specifically designed to lack the ABCD1 gene, which is crucial in the context of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders, particularly X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). These cell lines serve as a powerful tool for researchers aiming to dissect the molecular pathways involved in lipid metabolism and cellular homeostasis. By knocking out the ABCD1 gene, which encodes for a peroxisomal transporter responsible for the import of very long-chain fatty acids, these cell lines exhibit an accumulation of harmful fatty acids, thus mimicking disease conditions.
The key mechanism of action in ABCD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the disrupted transport of these fatty acids into peroxisomes, resulting in metabolic dysfunction and providing invaluable insights into disease mechanisms. These cell lines facilitate the investigation of how peroxisomal dysfunction contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, making them essential in both fundamental and translational research settings.
From a scientific perspective, the significance of ABCD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is highlighted by their application in drug discovery, gene therapy development, and the elucidation of novel therapeutic targets for X-ALD and related disorders. Researchers can utilize these models to evaluate the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents aimed at correcting the metabolic imbalances caused by ABCD1 loss.
One of the distinct advantages of our ABCD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their high reproducibility and reliability, which are critical for academic and pharmaceutical research alike. Unlike other knockout models that may produce variable results, our lines are rigorously validated and standardized, ensuring consistent performance across experiments.
For researchers and clinicians alike, these cell lines represent a valuable resource that accelerates the understanding of peroxisomal disorders, aiding in the advancement of therapeutic strategies. Moreover, our commitment to quality and innovation in biological products positions us as a leader in the field, capable of supporting the research community through superior biological solutions. Our expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development ensures that researchers have the tools they need to make groundbreaking discoveries.
