Gene: ALG6
Official Full Name: ALG6 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ALG6/ALG8 glucosyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of the first glucose residue to the growing lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor of N-linked glycosylation. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital disorders of glycosylation type Ic. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ALG6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are innovative tools designed for advanced research into glycosylation and its implications in human health. These cell lines have been genetically engineered to disrupt the ALG6 gene, which encodes a vital enzyme involved in the essential process of N-glycan biosynthesis. The disruption of this gene facilitates in-depth studies of how alterations in glycosylation patterns can influence protein folding, stability, and cellular response to various stimuli. By using these cell lines, researchers can better understand the pathological mechanisms underlying diseases related to glycosylation defects, including congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) and cancer.
The key functions of ALG6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines emerge from their ability to serve as models for simulating and studying the effects of impaired N-glycosylation. Upon knockout, the resulting cell lines exhibit altered glycan structures, enabling scientists to investigate the molecular pathways affected by aberrant glycosylation. This unique mechanistic insight is crucial for identifying potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for diseases characterized by glycan dysregulation.
The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both basic and applied research. In clinical settings, they offer an invaluable resource for drug development and testing, especially regarding the efficacy and safety of glycosylation-targeted treatments. By employing the ALG6 knockout model, researchers can elucidate the impact of pharmaceutical compounds on glycosylation processes and their downstream effects on cellular functionality.
Compared to alternative cellular models, ALG6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a specific advantage by closely mimicking the clinical phenotype associated with glycosylation disorders. Their distinct features allow for the study of specific cellular responses and metabolic reprogramming, yielding more pertinent data for translational research. Moreover, these cell lines are compatible with high-throughput screening assays, making them suitable for extensive drug discovery efforts.
