Gene: AGPAT5
Official Full Name: 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 5provided 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. A pseudogene of this gene is present on the Y chromosome.

AGPAT5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models designed to enable comprehensive studies of the AGPAT5 gene, which plays a critical role in lipid metabolism and the synthesis of glycerolipids. These cell lines have undergone precise genetic modifications through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, resulting in the targeted knockout of AGPAT5, allowing researchers to investigate the gene's functions and its implications in various metabolic disorders.
The key function of AGPAT5 is its involvement in the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, an essential step in the glycerolipid biosynthetic pathway. By creating knockout variants, scientists can elucidate the downstream effects of AGPAT5 deficiency on lipid profiles, cellular energy metabolism, and overall cellular health. This knowledge is crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders, where lipid dysregulation is often a key contributor.
The scientific importance of AGPAT5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both research and clinical settings. These cell lines provide a valuable platform for pharmaceutical screening, allowing for the identification of potential therapeutic agents targeting lipid metabolism disorders. Furthermore, they serve as an invaluable tool for studying the molecular pathways influenced by the absence of AGPAT5, thus facilitating the development of targeted therapies and personalized medicine approaches.
Compared to alternative cell models, these knockout cell lines offer specificity and reliability in studies related to AGPAT5's roles, as they eliminate any confounding effects from off-target genes. This level of genetic precision enhances experimental reproducibility and the validity of the findings.
For researchers and clinicians aiming to explore lipid metabolism's complexities, the AGPAT5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide an unmatched resource that advances fundamental understanding and therapeutic possibilities.
