ABCG1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ABCG1

Official Full Name: ATP binding cassette subfamily G 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 White subfamily. It is involved in macrophage cholesterol and phospholipids transport, and may regulate cellular lipid homeostasis in other cell types. Six alternative splice variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ABCG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to lack the ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 1 (ABCG1) gene. This gene is integral to the regulation of lipid transport and homeostasis, particularly involved in cholesterol efflux and the modulation of cellular lipid levels. By providing researchers with a platform to study the biological functions and pathways affected by ABCG1 deficiency, these knockout cell lines offer significant insights into lipid metabolism, autoimmune disorders, and atherosclerosis.

The primary mechanism of the ABCG1 protein involves facilitating the cellular efflux of cholesterol and phospholipids to lipid-poor proteins, such as apolipoproteins, ensuring intracellular lipid balance. When evaluating the ABCG1 knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the compensatory mechanisms that come into play upon the loss of ABCG1, as well as the resultant alterations in cellular homeostasis and signaling pathways.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both basic research and clinical applications, where understanding the implications of ABCG1 deficiency can lead to breakthroughs in therapies for cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Their ability to replicate the physiological context of human tissues makes them invaluable in drug testing and the elucidation of disease mechanisms, granting a deeper understanding of how lipid imbalances contribute to pathologies.

Compared to alternative models, such as transient knockdowns or overexpressing systems, ABCG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide stable, reproducible results and allow for long-term studies on the effects of ABCG1 deletion. Their robust nature simplifies the investigative process, delivering reliable data for critical experiments. Furthermore, these cell lines are exceptionally versatile, accommodating various cell culture systems and experimental designs.

As a pioneering company in the field of genetic engineering and biological research tools, we are committed to advancing scientific discovery. Our ABCG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines empower researchers and clinicians alike to delve deeper into lipid metabolism research, ultimately contributing to the development of innovative therapeutic strategies.
