CES1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CES1

Official Full Name: carboxylesterase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the carboxylesterase large family. The family members are responsible for the hydrolysis or transesterification of various xenobiotics, such as cocaine and heroin, and endogenous substrates with ester, thioester, or amide bonds. They may participate in fatty acyl and cholesterol ester metabolism, and may play a role in the blood-brain barrier system. This enzyme is the major liver enzyme and functions in liver drug clearance. Mutations of this gene cause carboxylesterase 1 deficiency. Three transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

Background

CES1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant tool in the realm of molecular biology, specifically designed to study the biological functions and pathways mediated by the CES1 gene, which encodes for a carboxylesterase enzyme involved in drug metabolism and lipid homeostasis. These cell lines are meticulously engineered to exhibit a complete knockout of the CES1 gene, allowing researchers to dissect the enzyme's role in various physiological and pathological processes without the confounding effects of CES1 activity.

The key mechanism underlying these knockout cell lines is the targeted disruption of the CES1 gene using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, an advanced genome editing tool that facilitates precise modification of the DNA sequence. By employing this methodology, CES1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines enable the observation of phenotypic changes and metabolic alterations associated with the absence of CES1, offering insights into drug absorption, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo models.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their vast applications in pharmacological research, toxicology studies, and metabolic syndrome investigations. They serve as invaluable resources for elucidating the implications of CES1 in the pharmacokinetics of various substrates, including therapeutic agents and endogenous compounds. Clinically, understanding CES1 function and regulation can lead to better drug design and personalized medicine approaches, particularly for conditions related to drug metabolism.

What sets CES1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their specificity and reproducibility. Unlike traditional methods that may utilize broad-spectrum inhibitors or non-specific knockdown approaches, these knockout lines provide a clean genetic background, ensuring that observed effects can be directly attributed to CES1 loss. Furthermore, the scalability of these cell lines permits high-throughput screening applications, enhancing both the efficiency and throughput of research endeavors.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to advance their understanding of drug metabolism and lipid processing, CES1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a powerful, reliable platform. By leveraging our expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, we ensure that each product meets the highest standards of quality and performance, empowering scientists to reach groundbreaking discoveries in their fields.
