Gene: ASL
Official Full Name: argininosuccinate lyaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lyase 1 family. The encoded protein forms a cytosolic homotetramer and primarily catalyzes the reversible hydrolytic cleavage of argininosuccinate into arginine and fumarate, an essential step in the liver in detoxifying ammonia via the urea cycle. Mutations in this gene result in the autosomal recessive disorder argininosuccinic aciduria, or argininosuccinic acid lyase deficiency. A nontranscribed pseudogene is also located on the long arm of chromosome 22. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ASL Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to specifically disable the argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) gene. This innovative product enables researchers to explore the crucial role of ASL in the urea cycle and its implications in metabolic disorders, particularly argininosuccinic aciduria. By employing the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these knockout cell lines can be utilized to create models that mimic certain pathological states, allowing for deeper investigations into the biological pathways involved.
The primary function of ASL Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide a controlled environment to study phenotypic changes associated with ASL deficiency. Researchers can assess cellular metabolism, gene expression, and protein alterations in a setting where ASL activity is absent. This study approach allows for the elucidation of the biochemical consequences of ASL knockout, thus underscoring its pivotal role in nitrogen metabolism and cellular homeostasis.
The scientific importance of these cell lines cannot be overstated, as they can be instrumental in drug discovery processes aimed at treating metabolic conditions linked to urea cycle dysfunctions. They offer a platform for testing potential therapeutic interventions and elucidating mechanisms underlying diseases related to ASL deficiency. Clinical applications may include the development of novel enzyme replacement therapies or gene therapies targeting urea cycle disorders.
What sets ASL Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional models is their ease of use and the high specificity of the knockout approach. Unlike broad-spectrum inhibitors, these cell lines provide a clean genetic background that allows for more precise interpretation of experimental data, minimizing off-target effects and enhancing reproducibility. Researchers and clinicians benefit from the ability to produce consistent results across multiple experiments, thereby facilitating a deeper understanding of ASL’s role in metabolic health.
By choosing ASL Gene Knockout Cell Lines, investigators acquire a powerful tool at the forefront of genetic research and therapeutic development. Our company, with its extensive experience in providing cutting-edge biological products, ensures that these cell lines are manufactured to the highest standards of quality and reliability, empowering the research community to advance the science of metabolic disorders.
