B4GALT3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: B4GALT3

Official Full Name: beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is one of seven beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta4GalT) genes. They encode type II membrane-bound glycoproteins that appear to have exclusive specificity for the donor substrate UDP-galactose; all transfer galactose in a beta1,4 linkage to similar acceptor sugars: GlcNAc, Glc, and Xyl. Each beta4GalT has a distinct function in the biosynthesis of different glycoconjugates and saccharide structures. As type II membrane proteins, they have an N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence that directs the protein to the Golgi apparatus and which then remains uncleaved to function as a transmembrane anchor. By sequence similarity, the beta4GalTs form four groups: beta4GalT1 and beta4GalT2, beta4GalT3 and beta4GalT4, beta4GalT5 and beta4GalT6, and beta4GalT7. This gene encodes an enzyme that may be mainly involved in the synthesis of the first N-acetyllactosamine unit of poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Background

B4GALT3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to lack the B4GALT3 gene, a key player in the glycosylation processes associated with various biological molecules. This knockout model allows researchers to explore the functional consequences of absent B4GALT3 expression, which has implications for understanding developmental biology, cancer research, and cell signaling pathways. The mechanism by which these cell lines function hinges on the complete disruption of the B4GALT3 gene, which encodes for a galactosyltransferase involved in the elongation of glycan structures on glycoproteins and glycolipids.

The scientific importance of B4GALT3 knockout cell lines is profound, as they provide a valuable tool for dissecting the role of protein glycosylation in pathological conditions. In research settings, these cell lines can be employed to examine the effects of altered glycosylation patterns on cell adhesion, migration, and immune responses. Clinically, understanding the role of B4GALT3 in disease states like cancer can lead to novel therapeutic approaches tailored to target glycosylation anomalies.

Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or transient knockdown systems, B4GALT3 knockout cell lines offer stable and consistent results over long-term studies, significantly enhancing reproducibility and data reliability. The knockout status allows nuanced studies of B4GALT3's absence without the confounding variables that can accompany temporary gene silencing techniques.

For researchers and clinicians focused on glycosylation and its repercussions in health and disease, the B4GALT3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a crucial asset. Our offering is backed by years of expertise in cellular genetics, ensuring high-quality products to advance your research endeavors and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in the field.
