Gene: CA5B
Official Full Name: carbonic anhydrase 5Bprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. This gene encodes carbonic anhydrase 5B. CA5B, and the related CA5A gene, has its expression localized in the mitochondria though CA5B has a wider tissue distribution than CA5A, which is restricted to the liver, kidneys, and skeletal muscle. A carbonic anhydrase pseudogene (CA5BP1) is adjacent to the CA5B gene and these two loci produce CA5BP1-CA5B readthrough transcripts. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2019]

CA5B Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge biological tool designed to facilitate advanced research into the physiological roles of the carbonic anhydrase 5B (CA5B) enzyme, which is implicated in various metabolic pathways and pathologies, including kidney function and acid-base homeostasis. These cell lines have been engineered using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to produce a definitive knockout of the CA5B gene, allowing researchers to observe the resultant phenotypic changes and to dissect the mechanistic pathways influenced by this enzyme.
The primary function of the CA5B gene knockout is to elucidate the biological consequences of the loss of CA5B expression. The therapeutic implications are vast, as understanding the functionality of CA5B can provide insights into conditions such as renal tubular acidosis and can inform drug development targeting metabolic disorders. The mechanisms underlying the enzyme's activity suggest a role in bicarbonate transport and pH regulation, making these knockout cell lines invaluable for studying dysregulation in these processes.
What sets CA5B Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their high specificity and reproducibility. Unlike traditional models, which may exhibit off-target effects or incomplete knockdown, these precisely engineered lines ensure complete gene disruption, providing a reliable platform for experimental replication. In a research or clinical setting, this specificity enhances the validity of experimental outcomes and fosters the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of using CA5B Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies not only in the reliability of their data but also in their potential to accelerate discoveries in kidney biology and metabolic disease etiology. The ability to study the direct effects of CA5B deficiency can lead to groundbreaking advancements in personalized medicine approaches.
