AGPAT4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: AGPAT4

Official Full Name: 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase family. This integral membrane protein converts lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, the second step in de novo phospholipid biosynthesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

AGPAT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are meticulously developed cellular models that allow researchers to study the function of the AGPAT4 gene, which encodes for an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism. The AGPAT4 protein (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 4) plays a crucial role in the synthesis of critical phospholipids, which are essential for cellular membrane composition and signaling. By creating knockout cell lines, these products enable scientists to elucidate the specific contributions of AGPAT4 to various biological processes, including adipogenesis, energy homeostasis, and insulin sensitivity.

The key function of AGPAT4 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide insights into how the absence of AGPAT4 affects lipid droplet formation and overall cellular lipid profiles. Researchers can observe altered metabolic pathways and understand the downstream effects on cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. This cellular model is particularly valuable in obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease research, contributing to the identification of potential therapeutic targets and stratifying patient responses to lipid-modulating therapies.

The scientific importance of AGPAT4 gene knockout cell lines extends into both research and clinical settings, facilitating drug discovery and testing by allowing for the assessment of compounds that would otherwise not be possible without understanding the gene's function. Compared to traditional cell lines, which may retain partial functions of AGPAT4, knockout lines provide a clearer understanding of gene-specific roles, thus enhancing the validity and reliability of experimental results.

Furthermore, these cell lines are produced under rigorous quality control, ensuring reproducibility and consistency, which is essential for drawing meaningful conclusions in scientific endeavours. By choosing AGPAT4 gene knockout cell lines, researchers and clinicians can leverage precise models that deliver clear insights into lipid biology and potential metabolic disorders.
