Gene: ACMSD
Official Full Name: aminocarboxymuconate semialdehyde decarboxylaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The neuronal excitotoxin quinolinate is an intermediate in the de novo synthesis pathway of NAD from tryptophan, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders. Quinolinate is derived from alpha-amino-beta-carboxy-muconate-epsilon-semialdehyde (ACMS). ACMSD (ACMS decarboxylase; EC 4.1.1.45) can divert ACMS to a benign catabolite and thus prevent the accumulation of quinolinate from ACMS.[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2004]

ACMSD Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that lack functional expression of the ACMSD gene, which encodes the enzyme aminocarboxymuconate semialdehyde decarboxylase. These cell lines play a pivotal role in research aimed at understanding the metabolic pathways involving tryptophan and the role of ACMSD in neurological disorders and inflammatory processes. By providing a background-free system to study the consequences of ACMSD loss, these cell lines illuminate the enzyme’s involvement in the catabolism of kynurenine, a crucial mediator in neurodegenerative diseases and immune responses.
The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines relies on CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, which enables precise disruption of the ACMSD gene. This genetic alteration leads to predictable phenotypic changes, facilitating downstream functional assays to evaluate metabolic fluxes, cellular stress responses, and pathways related to neuroprotection and inflammation. Researchers can effectively utilize these models to dissect the intricate pathophysiological roles of ACMSD, thus contributing to the understanding of complex diseases.
The scientific importance of ACMSD Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in both basic and translational research. These cell lines are particularly valuable in drug discovery, as they allow for high-throughput screening of potential therapeutics targeting neurodegeneration and immunity-related conditions. Furthermore, the insights gained from these models can direct strategies aimed at developing targeted therapies or novel interventions for conditions such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease.
What sets our ACMSD Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from competitors is their unparalleled specificity and reliability. These lines are rigorously validated for genomic integrity, functional relevance, and reproducibility, ensuring that researchers can confidently derive meaningful data. Each line is accompanied by extensive characterization protocols and product documentation to facilitate experimental design.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide impactful insights that can translate into tangible advancements in therapeutic approaches. By integrating the study of ACMSD gene function into their research, users can bridge the gap between bench and bedside, ultimately impacting patient care and treatment outcomes.
