Gene: ALDOB

Official Full Name: aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate Bprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) is a tetrameric glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Vertebrates have 3 aldolase isozymes which are distinguished by their electrophoretic and catalytic properties. Differences indicate that aldolases A, B, and C are distinct proteins, the products of a family of related 'housekeeping' genes exhibiting developmentally regulated expression of the different isozymes. The developing embryo produces aldolase A, which is produced in even greater amounts in adult muscle where it can be as much as 5% of total cellular protein. In adult liver, kidney and intestine, aldolase A expression is repressed and aldolase B is produced. In brain and other nervous tissue, aldolase A and C are expressed about equally. There is a high degree of homology between aldolase A and C. Defects in ALDOB cause hereditary fructose intolerance. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Background

ALDOB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the ALDOB gene, which encodes for aldolase B, an enzyme integral to carbohydrate metabolism. These knockout cell lines have been generated through cutting-edge genome editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, resulting in a complete disruption of the ALDOB gene expression. This precise genetic modification allows researchers to observe the phenotypic and metabolic consequences of aldolase B loss on various cellular functions, offering insight into metabolic disorders linked to the gene, including hereditary fructose intolerance.

The key mechanism underlying these cell lines involves the absence of aldolase B activity, which leads to altered glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways. Consequently, researchers can investigate the biochemical ramifications of this knockout on cellular energy metabolism, nutrient sensing, and overall cell viability. Such studies are critical in elucidating the role of aldolase B in human health and disease, making these cell lines exceptionally valuable in both academic and industrial research settings.

One of the prominent advantages of ALDOB Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reliability over traditional knockdown approaches, such as siRNA or shRNA, which may have off-target effects. With a complete gene knockout, researchers can confidently attribute observed phenotypic changes directly to the loss of ALDOB function. Furthermore, these cell lines serve as robust platforms for drug screening, metabolic profiling, and the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at metabolic diseases.

Moreover, the advanced nature of these knockout models positions them as essential tools for clinicians and researchers who are aiming to explore the fundamental relationships between gene function and disease pathology. By choosing ALDOB Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can significantly enhance the relevance and accuracy of their studies.
