Gene: CERK
Official Full Name: ceramide kinaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: CERK converts ceramide to ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P), a sphingolipid metabolite. Both CERK and C1P have been implicated in various cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, phagocytosis, and inflammation (Kim et al., 2006 [PubMed 16488390]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

CERK Gene Knockout Cell Lines are tailored biological research tools designed to enable the study of the ceramide kinase (CERK) gene’s role in various cellular processes. These genetically modified cell lines arise from precise gene-editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, which result in the targeted deletion of the CERK gene. This knockout functionality allows researchers to elucidate the physiological and pathological implications of CERK in cellular signaling, metabolism, and stress responses.
The primary function of CERK involves the phosphorylation of ceramide, producing a key signaling molecule, which plays a crucial role in regulating cellular apoptosis, differentiation, and inflammation. By utilizing CERK knockout cell lines, researchers can dissect these pathways, providing insight into the gene's contribution to diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. These models are instrumental in experimenting with drug efficacy and understanding resistance mechanisms associated with pharmacological treatments targeting lipid metabolism.
The scientific importance of these cell lines extends into both basic and translational research. Their application in studying ceramide signaling pathways can lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies and promote advancements in personalized medicine. CERK knockout cell lines stand out among alternatives by offering a high degree of specificity and reproducibility, which are critical for generating reliable data.
Furthermore, the ease of use of these cell lines, combined with robust protocols available for researchers, streamlines experimental workflows and accelerates discovery times. Investing in CERK Gene Knockout Cell Lines not only empowers researchers with a potent tool to advance their studies but also fosters innovative solutions to address complex bio-medical challenges.
