Gene: CHST6
Official Full Name: carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a sulfate group to the GlcNAc residues of keratan. Keratan sulfate helps maintain corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of macular corneal dystrophy (MCD). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

CHST6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially developed cellular models designed to facilitate the functional analysis of the CHST6 gene, which encodes a sulfotransferase involved in carbohydrate biosynthesis. These cell lines have been genetically engineered to lack the functional expression of the CHST6 gene, providing researchers with a powerful tool to investigate the gene's role in various biological processes, particularly in the context of glycosaminoglycan metabolism and disease states.
The key functions of these knockout cell lines lie in their ability to mimic the physiological conditions where CHST6 is deficient, allowing for observation of resultant phenotypic changes. Mechanistically, the absence of CHST6 activity leads to altered sulfation patterns of glycosaminoglycans, which can impact cell signaling, proliferation, and differentiation pathways. This rich experimental model enables scientists to delineate the specific contributions of CHST6 to conditions such as corneal dystrophies, where aberrant glycosaminoglycan synthesis has been implicated.
The scientific importance of CHST6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is profound, enhancing our understanding of genetic disorders and providing insight into potential therapeutic targets. In research settings, these cell lines can be used for high-throughput screening of drug candidates that aim to restore normal sulfation patterns or correct metabolic dysfunction. Clinically, they offer a promising approach to study genetic diseases at the cellular level, paving the way for the development of innovative treatments.
What sets our CHST6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their meticulous validation and superior performance, ensuring reliable results in both in vitro and in vivo applications. These cell lines are available with robust support for protocols and troubleshooting, streamlining the research workflow.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the value of CHST6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is immense. By using these models, they can accelerate their studies into CHST6-related pathologies and potentially uncover novel therapeutic avenues that provide hope for affected patients.
