ACOX3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ACOX3

Official Full Name: acyl-CoA oxidase 3, pristanoylprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Acyl-Coenzyme A oxidase 3 also know as pristanoyl -CoA oxidase (ACOX3)is involved in the desaturation of 2-methyl branched fatty acids in peroxisomes. Unlike the rat homolog, the human gene is expressed in very low amounts in liver such that its mRNA was undetectable by routine Northern-blot analysis or its product by immunoblotting or by enzyme activity measurements. However the human cDNA encoding a 700 amino acid protein with a peroxisomal targeting C-terminal tripeptide S-K-L was isolated and is thought to be expressed under special conditions such as specific developmental stages or in a tissue specific manner in tissues that have not yet been examined.

Background

ACOX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models featuring the disruption of the ACOX3 gene, which encodes for acyl-CoA oxidase 3, an enzyme vital for the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. These cell lines serve as a powerful tool for researchers investigating lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, and the therapeutic implications of fatty acid oxidation disorders. By selectively knocking out the ACOX3 gene, these cell lines allow scientists to observe the physiological and biochemical consequences of impaired fatty acid metabolism, thereby elucidating the role of ACOX3 in various metabolic pathways.

The key function of ACOX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic pathological conditions associated with disrupted fatty acid oxidation, making them invaluable for studying diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and particular forms of metabolic syndrome. The knockout mechanism eradicates functional ACOX3 transcripts, leading to alterations in lipid profiles, which are crucial for understanding the metabolic derangements linked to these conditions. Researchers can utilize these model systems to explore the impacts of ACOX3 deficiency on cellular processes, gene expression, and potential therapeutic interventions.

In clinical research and translational applications, ACOX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a vital resource for drug discovery and validation, allowing for the screening of pharmacological agents that may restore metabolic balance or minimize the detrimental effects of fatty acid accumulation. The specificity of these cell lines in simulating ACOX3-related disorders offers a unique advantage over traditional models, which may not accurately replicate the disease phenotype.

The unique selling points of the ACOX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their precise genetic modification, reproducibility in experiments, and the capacity for high-throughput screening applications. This specificity enables researchers and clinicians to quickly gauge the biological impacts of compounds or genetic alterations, elevating research efficiency and accuracy compared to more generic models.

For researchers and clinicians focused on advancing metabolic research or developing targeted therapies, the ACOX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent not just a product but a pathway to significant scientific discovery and innovation. Our company prides itself on its extensive expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, offering a robust portfolio of biological products designed to support cutting-edge research in lipid metabolism and beyond.
