Gene: APTX
Official Full Name: aprataxinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the histidine triad (HIT) superfamily. The encoded protein may play a role in single-stranded DNA repair through its nucleotide-binding activity and its diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

APTX Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to facilitate research on the APTX gene, implicated in various cellular processes, including DNA repair and neurodegenerative diseases. These knockout cell lines possess a complete disruption of the APTX gene, allowing researchers to study the resultant phenotypic characteristics in a controlled environment, gaining insights into gene function and related pathways.
The core mechanism of APTX knockout cell lines involves the absence of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APEX), a crucial enzyme involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. This knockout creates a unique in vitro system for examining the roles of APTX in cellular responses to oxidative stress, DNA damage, and genomic stability. As researchers assess how the absence of APTX alters cellular metabolism and repair mechanisms, they gather vital data on potential therapeutic targets for diseases associated with APTX dysregulation.
Scientifically, APTX Gene Knockout Cell Lines are highly relevant in both basic and applied research settings. Their applications span from gene function studies and drug screening to examining the pathophysiology of conditions such as ataxia and other neurodegenerative disorders. By utilizing these models, researchers can deepen their understanding of disease mechanisms, fostering the development of targeted therapies and innovative diagnostic tools.
The advantages of APTX Gene Knockout Cell Lines lie not only in their specificity but also in their reliability and ease of use. Compared to wild-type or non-targeted models, these knockout lines provide clarity in results, minimizing background noise that can obscure findings. Furthermore, they offer a consistent platform for high-throughput studies, giving researchers the confidence to obtain repeatable and interpretable data.
For scientists and medical professionals, the value of APTX Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated. They serve as a critical resource for advancing genetic research and therapeutic development, ultimately contributing to improved healthcare outcomes.
