Gene: ALOXE3
Official Full Name: arachidonate epidermal lipoxygenase 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the lipoxygenase family, which are catabolized by arachidonic acid-derived compounds. The encoded enzyme is a hydroperoxide isomerase that synthesizes a unique type of epoxy alcohol (8R-hydroxy-11R,12R-epoxyeicosa-5Z,9E,14Z-trienoic acid) from 12R-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12R-HPETE). This epoxy alcohol can activate the the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), which is implicated in epidermal differentiation. Loss of function of the enzyme encoded by this gene results in ichthyosis, implicating the function of this gene in the differentiation of human skin. This gene is part of a cluster of lipoxygenase genes on 17p13.1. Mutations in this gene result in nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ALOXE3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to elucidate the role of the ALOXE3 gene, which is vital in lipid metabolism and inflammation pathways. By creating knockout variants of this gene, researchers can investigate its contributions to various biological processes, particularly those related to skin barrier function and related disorders. The ALOXE3 knockout approach employs CRISPR-Cas9 technology to ensure precise gene disruption, allowing for the assessment of cellular responses in both in vitro and in vivo settings.
Functionally, ALOXE3 plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of skin lipids, particularly in the formation of cutaneous barriers. The ALOXE3 gene knockout cell lines exhibit alterations in lipid profiles, enabling researchers to explore the downstream effects of lipid deficiencies on cellular signaling mechanisms and the skin's immune response. Such investigations are essential in understanding atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other inflammatory diseases, thereby providing insights into potential therapeutic targets.
In comparison to traditional gene silencing techniques such as RNA interference, which may lead to transient knockdown effects, the permanent genetic alteration of ALOXE3 knockout cell lines ensures enduring stability in experimental models. This enhances the reproducibility of results, underscoring their value in both research and clinical applications. These cell lines offer unique advantages in drug discovery, toxicity testing, and mechanistic studies, allowing for more informed decisions in therapeutic development.
For researchers and clinicians seeking reliable, high-quality biological tools to further their work in dermatology and lipid metabolism, ALOXE3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present an invaluable asset. Our commitment to delivering innovative and scientifically robust products is rooted in extensive industry expertise, making us a trusted partner in advancing biomedical inquiries and enhancing patient care.
