ACOT8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ACOT8

Official Full Name: acyl-CoA thioesterase 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a peroxisomal thioesterase that appears to be involved more in the oxidation of fatty acids rather than in their formation. The encoded protein can bind to the human immunodeficiency virus-1 protein Nef, and mediate Nef-induced down-regulation of CD4 in T-cells. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

Background

ACOT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge resource for the study of acyl-CoA thioesterases. This genetically modified cell line specifically lacks the expression of the ACOT8 gene, which encodes an enzyme critical for the regulation of fatty acid metabolism by hydrolyzing acyl-CoA to free fatty acids. This knockout model allows researchers to explore the functional roles of ACOT8 in cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, and disease processes, particularly in lipid metabolism dysregulation.

The key mechanism of action of these knockout cell lines involves the disruption of normal lipid metabolism, leading to an accumulation of acyl-CoA esters. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to investigate how altered fatty acid profiles affect cell function, energy homeostasis, and the development of metabolic disorders. Because lipids play crucial roles in cell signaling and membrane formation, understanding the function of ACOT8 can provide insights into various diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders.

The scientific importance of ACOT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines goes beyond basic research; they also have potential applications in drug discovery, metabolic profiling, and therapeutic development. Identifying the pathways influenced by ACOT8 depletion may lead to novel therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases.

What sets our ACOT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart is their high specificity and reproducibility, which are essential for reliable results. Unlike alternative models that may have off-target effects, our cell lines are rigorously validated, ensuring that researchers can confidently attribute observed phenotypic changes to ACOT8 disruption. Furthermore, they come with comprehensive documentation and user support to facilitate experimental design and implementation.

The inherent value of these cell lines is clear: they provide researchers and clinicians with a powerful tool to dissect the complex regulatory mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism. By enhancing the understanding of ACOT8’s role, it opens the door to potential breakthroughs in the treatment of a myriad of metabolic conditions.
