ALOX5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ALOX5

Official Full Name: arachidonate 5-lipoxygenaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lipoxygenase gene family and plays a dual role in the synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. The encoded protein, which is expressed specifically in bone marrow-derived cells, catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to 5(S)-hydroperoxy-6-trans-8,11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid, and further to the allylic epoxide 5(S)-trans-7,9-trans-11,14-cis-eicosatetrenoic acid (leukotriene A4). Leukotrienes are important mediators of a number of inflammatory and allergic conditions. Mutations in the promoter region of this gene lead to a diminished response to antileukotriene drugs used in the treatment of asthma and may also be associated with atherosclerosis and several cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Background

ALOX5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have had their ALOX5 gene selectively disrupted, facilitating the study of leukotriene biosynthesis and inflammatory response mechanisms. ALOX5 encodes the enzyme lipoxygenase-5 (5-LOX), which plays a pivotal role in the metabolism of arachidonic acid into leukotrienes, mediators implicated in various pathophysiological conditions, including asthma, arthritis, and cardiovascular diseases.

These knockout cell lines function by providing a controlled environment in which researchers can investigate the biological consequences of ALOX5 deletion. The mechanisms include an assessment of changes in inflammatory cytokine production, immune cell signaling pathways, and cellular responses to various stimuli. By utilizing these cell lines, it becomes possible to dissect the specific roles of leukotrienes in both health and disease.

The scientific significance of ALOX5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their applications in both research and clinical settings. They serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery, particularly for pharmaceuticals targeting inflammatory diseases, enabling the identification of potential therapeutic agents that may mitigate leukotriene-related conditions. Their use can enhance the understanding of the causal relationship between ALOX5 and various diseases, ultimately informing the development of innovative treatment strategies.

Compared to other gene-editing methods or cell lines, our ALOX5 knockout lines offer unparalleled precision in gene disruption and maintain high levels of cellular viability and reproducibility, making them a superior choice for rigorous experimental designs. Researchers can expect consistent performance across experiments, significantly reducing variability and facilitating straightforward interpretation of results.

The availability of ALOX5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines significantly enhances researchers' capabilities in leading-edge biomedical research, particularly in the realm of immunology and pharmacology. These cell lines empower scientists to uncover new insights into the pathogenesis of diseases and explore novel intervention points.
