Gene: CHST4
Official Full Name: carbohydrate sulfotransferase 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes an N-acetylglucosamine 6-O sulfotransferase. The encoded enzyme transfers sulfate from 3'phosphoadenosine 5'phospho-sulfate to the 6-hydroxyl group of N-acetylglucosamine on glycoproteins. This protein is localized to the Golgi and is involved in the modification of glycan structures on ligands of the lymphocyte homing receptor L-selectin. Alternate splicing in the 5' UTR results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

CHST4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically developed to lack the expression of the CHST4 gene, which encodes the enzyme carbohydrate sulfotransferase 4. These cell lines serve as a critical tool for studying the roles of CHST4 in various biological processes, including glycosylation, signal transduction, and cellular interactions.
The primary function of CHST4 is to catalyze the transfer of sulfate groups to carbohydrates, thereby influencing protein and lipid modifications that are crucial for cellular communication and development. By utilizing CHST4 knockout cell lines, researchers can dissect the biological pathways impacted by the absence of this enzyme, providing insights into cellular dynamics and disease mechanisms. Additionally, these models can be employed to investigate the role of CHST4 in various pathologies, including cancer, where aberrant glycosylation patterns often contribute to tumor progression and metastasis.
The scientific importance of CHST4 knockout cell lines lies in their versatility and applicability in both basic research and clinical settings. They provide an invaluable platform for drug screening, biomarker discovery, and investigating therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring normal cellular functions. Furthermore, the ability to elucidate the roles of glycosylation in disease states can lead to the development of targeted therapies, making these cell lines essential tools for both academic and pharmaceutical research.
What sets CHST4 knockout cell lines apart from other genetic models is their specificity and precision in gene editing. By eliminating only the CHST4 gene, these cell lines retain their overall cellular integrity, ensuring that results are attributed directly to the absence of CHST4 rather than unintended genetic alterations. This specificity allows for robust, reproducible outcomes, making them a preferred choice for researchers who require high fidelity in their experimental results.
The value of CHST4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines to researchers and clinicians cannot be overstated. They offer a unique opportunity to advance our understanding of glycosylation-related diseases and the potential to identify novel therapeutic targets.
