Gene: APEH
Official Full Name: acylaminoacyl-peptide hydrolaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the enzyme acylpeptide hydrolase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the terminal acetylated amino acid preferentially from small acetylated peptides. The acetyl amino acid formed by this hydrolase is further processed to acetate and a free amino acid by an aminoacylase. This gene is located within the same region of chromosome 3 (3p21) as the aminoacylase gene, and deletions at this locus are also associated with a decrease in aminoacylase activity. The acylpeptide hydrolase is a homotetrameric protein of 300 kDa with each subunit consisting of 732 amino acid residues. It can play an important role in destroying oxidatively damaged proteins in living cells. Deletions of this gene locus are found in various types of carcinomas, including small cell lung carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

APEH Gene Knockout Cell Lines are innovative biological research tools designed to facilitate the functional analysis of the APEH (Acylpeptide Hydrolase) gene. These cell lines have been engineered using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to create targeted deletions in the APEH gene, thereby enabling the study of its specific contributions to cellular metabolism, signal transduction, and cellular response mechanisms.
The primary function of APEH is to catalyze the hydrolysis of acylated peptides, a process critical for the regulation of bioactive peptides and the modulation of various physiological pathways. By employing APEH knockout cell lines, researchers can dissect the biochemical and physiological roles of APEH, investigate its involvement in various diseases, and examine the cellular outcomes stemming from its absence. The genetic modification allows for a clearer understanding of the gene's contribution to cellular functions such as energy metabolism, apoptosis, and stress responses.
The scientific importance of APEH Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to diverse research and clinical applications, including drug discovery, toxicology studies, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic disorders. These cell lines serve as valuable models for exploring the potential therapeutic benefits of modulating APEH activity in conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
Compared to alternative methods such as RNA interference or non-specific gene editing techniques, APEH Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer high specificity and reproducibility, ensuring that observed phenotypic changes are directly attributable to APEH deletion. This targeted approach minimizes off-target effects, which is crucial for obtaining reliable and interpretable data in research settings.
For researchers and clinicians, APEH Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in the toolkit for molecular biology, providing a streamlined pathway to deepen our understanding of gene function and unveil new avenues for therapeutic intervention. Our company, with a proven track record in the development of high-quality genetic tools, is committed to delivering state-of-the-art biological products that empower researchers in their quest for scientific discovery.
