Gene: ALDH6A1
Official Full Name: aldehyde dehydrogenase 6 family member A1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase protein family. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase that plays a role in the valine and pyrimidine catabolic pathways. This protein catalyzes the irreversible oxidative decarboxylation of malonate and methylmalonate semialdehydes to acetyl- and propionyl-CoA. Methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency is characterized by elevated beta-alanine, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, and both isomers of 3-amino and 3-hydroxyisobutyric acids in urine organic acids. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

ALDH6A1 gene knockout cell lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the ALDH6A1 gene has been selectively disrupted to study the implications of its absence on cellular function, metabolism, and disease pathology. The ALDH6A1 gene encodes an enzyme involved in the catabolism of various aldehydes, contributing significantly to cellular detoxification processes. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the functional role of ALDH6A1 in metabolic pathways and its potential impact on conditions such as oxidative stress and cellular aging.
The primary mechanism of action involves the elimination of ALDH6A1 activity, which allows for the investigation of accumulated substrates due to its absence, enabling scientists to assess alterations in metabolic flux and toxic stress response. This tool is essential for understanding the phenotypic consequences resulting from the loss of ALDH6A1, making it a valuable asset in both basic research and translational studies aimed at identifying therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders.
In scientific research, these knockout cell lines have significant applications, notably in drug discovery and pharmacogenomics, providing insights into how variations in metabolic enzymes affect drug metabolism and efficacy. Clinically, they hold promise in studying various diseases associated with aldehyde accumulation, thereby guiding personalized medicine approaches through tailored treatment regimens based on metabolic profiles.
Unique selling points of our ALDH6A1 gene knockout cell lines include their high specificity, validated genetic integrity, and reliability, which stand out when compared to other models that may exhibit off-target effects or lack consistent phenotypic expression.
