CPT1A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CPT1A

Official Full Name: carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids is initiated by the sequential action of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (which is located in the outer membrane and is detergent-labile) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (which is located in the inner membrane and is detergent-stable), together with a carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. CPT I is the key enzyme in the carnitine-dependent transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane and its deficiency results in a decreased rate of fatty acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CPT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered cellular models developed to facilitate the study of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1A), a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism. This product represents a strategic approach to understanding the physiological roles of CPT1A by providing a platform where its expression has been disrupted, allowing for the observation of metabolic changes associated with its absence. These cell lines allow researchers to delineate the biochemical pathways that rely on CPT1A, providing critical insights into energy homeostasis and lipid metabolism.

The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines revolves around the targeted disruption of the CPT1A gene using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which ensures a permanent alteration at the genetic level. This results in a functional impairment of the CPT1A enzyme, leading to a significant accumulation of long-chain fatty acids and altered metabolic profiles. Researchers can study the resultant phenotypic effects in vitro, making it an invaluable tool for elucidating the role of CPT1A in metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease.

In the realm of scientific importance, the CPT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines can be instrumental in both fundamental research and therapeutic development. They provide an excellent model for screening novel drugs aimed at modulating fatty acid metabolism and for investigating potential treatments for diseases linked to impaired fatty acid oxidation. The foresight to create a reliable genetic model caters to a growing demand within research and clinical laboratories that require reproducible and robust systems for studying metabolic pathways.

One of the specific advantages of our CPT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the rigorous validation process that ensures their reliability and functionality. Unlike other models, which may exhibit variable expression levels or incomplete knockout, our cell lines demonstrate consistent gene disruption and phenotypic outcomes. Additionally, the ease of use in various culture conditions allows for a seamless integration into diverse experimental workflows.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the CPT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out as an essential asset in the quest to unravel the complexities of metabolic disease. The potential for translational research is significant, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies. Our company prides itself on its commitment to precision and quality in the development of biological products, ensuring that each offering, including the CPT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines, meets the highest standards of scientific integrity and application potential.
