Gene: AS3MT
Official Full Name: arsenite methyltransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: AS3MT catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) to trivalent arsenical and may play a role in arsenic metabolism (Lin et al., 2002 [PubMed 11790780]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

AS3MT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically engineered to lack the expression of the arsenite methyltransferase (AS3MT) gene. This gene plays a critical role in the biotransformation of arsenic, facilitating its methylation and eventual excretion from the body. The knockout of AS3MT enables researchers to better understand the biological pathways and toxicological effects associated with arsenic exposure, as well as the cellular mechanisms that regulate arsenic's pharmacokinetics and toxicity.
These cell lines function primarily by allowing scientists to investigate the impact of AS3MT deficiency on arsenic metabolism and its related cellular processes, including apoptosis, oxidative stress response, and gene expression alterations. By studying these knockout lines, researchers can elucidate how variations in arsenic metabolism may predispose individuals to adverse health effects, thereby contributing significantly to environmental toxicology and public health studies.
The scientific importance of the AS3MT gene knockout cell lines is particularly evident in their application for both basic and applied research settings. They serve as invaluable tools in drug screening, toxicological assessments, and the identification of genetic factors influencing arsenic susceptibility. Their utility extends to various fields, including cancer research, pharmacology, and molecular biology, underscoring the broader relevance of AS3MT in human health.
What sets our AS3MT Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is our rigorous validation process, which ensures that these lines are devoid of AS3MT activity, providing researchers with reliable and reproducible results. Furthermore, our cell lines are cultured under optimized conditions to preserve metabolic functionality, while our detailed product documentation aids in the seamless integration of these cells into existing research workflows.
For researchers and clinicians dedicated to exploring the impact of environmental toxins and advancing therapeutic strategies, our AS3MT Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical asset. They facilitate innovative research that could lead to improved strategies for arsenic exposure mitigation and enhanced understanding of its biological implications.
