Gene: ALG12
Official Full Name: ALG12 alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase 22 family. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of the eighth mannose residue in an alpha-1,6 linkage onto the dolichol-PP-oligosaccharide precursor (dolichol-PP-Man(7)GlcNAc(2)) required for protein glycosylation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ig (CDG-Ig)characterized by abnormal N-glycosylation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ALG12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a sophisticated biological tool designed to facilitate the study of gene function, protein interactions, and cellular processes associated with glycosylation defects. The ALG12 gene encodes a protein involved in the oligosaccharyltransferase complex, which plays a crucial role in the N-glycosylation pathway – a process vital for protein folding and stability. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the downstream effects of the absence of ALG12, providing insights into various physiological and pathological conditions.
The key functions of ALG12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolve around their ability to mimic specific disease states by disrupting the ALG12 gene. This approach allows for the examination of altered cellular morphology, impaired protein trafficking, and variations in cellular signaling pathways. Mechanistically, the knockout of ALG12 leads to defects in the glycosylation process, thereby affecting the proper functioning of glycoproteins. As a result, researchers can closely observe and analyze the consequences of disrupted glycosylation on cellular behaviors and disease manifestations.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines is evident in their extensive applications across research and clinical settings, particularly in the fields of cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases. They serve as invaluable models for drug discovery, therapeutic development, and the evaluation of new treatment strategies aimed at correcting glycosylation-related issues, thus contributing to the field of precision medicine.
Compared to conventional cell lines, ALG12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages such as tailored genetic modifications that provide a more accurate representation of specific diseases. This specificity enhances the reliability of experimental results, reducing the time and resources spent on exploring non-relevant biological pathways.
