ACADM Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ACADM

Official Full Name: acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chainprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the medium-chain specific (C4 to C12 straight chain) acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase. The homotetramer enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Defects in this gene cause medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, a disease characterized by hepatic dysfunction, fasting hypoglycemia, and encephalopathy, which can result in infantile death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ACADM Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a specialized type of biological product where the Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, medium-chain (ACADM) gene has been functionally inactivated. This gene is integral in the fatty acid oxidation pathway, particularly for the metabolism of medium-chain fatty acids. By precisely knocking out this gene, these cell lines permit detailed investigation of metabolic processes, allowing researchers to model genetic disorders and study cellular responses under controlled conditions.

The key mechanism behind these knockout cell lines involves the use of CRISPR-Cas9 or other gene-editing technologies, which create specific deletions or mutations in the ACADM gene. This alteration leads to a significant reduction or complete loss of enzyme activity, enabling researchers to understand the downstream effects on metabolic pathways and cellular functions impacted by the absence of this gene. Such cell lines facilitate hypothesis testing in metabolic disorders, particularly the medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, elucidating key biochemical and molecular interactions.

The scientific importance of ACADM Gene Knockout Cell Lines is profound, serving as a vital tool in both academic and clinical research. They are indispensable in drug discovery, biomarker identification, and the development of targeted therapies aimed at metabolic diseases. Furthermore, these cell lines can contribute to gene therapy research, enabling investigators to test the efficacy of restorative treatments at the cellular level.

Compared to alternative models, including wild-type cell lines or animal models, the ACADM knockout cell lines offer a more controlled environment with reduced biological variability, allowing for reproducible and robust experimental results. Additionally, their use can significantly streamline research timelines, reducing the need for extensive in vivo testing in preliminary stages.

For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic pathways and related disorders, ACADM Gene Knockout Cell Lines deliver invaluable insights while minimizing experimental complexities. These cell lines not only enhance our understanding of metabolic dysfunction but also pave the way for innovative therapeutic approaches.

With substantial expertise in developing cutting-edge biological products, our company is committed to advancing research in metabolic diseases. By providing high-quality ACADM Gene Knockout Cell Lines, we empower scientists to push the boundaries of their investigations and foster breakthroughs in the understanding of human health.
