CROT Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CROT

Official Full Name: carnitine O-octanoyltransferaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. The encoded protein converts 4,8-dimethylnonanoyl-CoA to its corresponding carnitine ester. This transesterification occurs in the peroxisome and is necessary for transport of medium- and long- chain acyl-CoA molecules out of the peroxisome to the cytosol and mitochondria. The protein thus plays a role in lipid metabolism and fatty acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]

Background

CROT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular systems that have been meticulously developed to disrupt the expression of the CROT gene, which encodes the protein responsible for facilitating the degradation of medium-chain fatty acids in various metabolic pathways. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these knockout cell lines permit scientists to examine the consequential modifications in cellular metabolism and physiologic responses associated with the loss of CROT function.

The primary mechanism of action involves the targeted inactivation of the CROT gene, which allows researchers to elucidate the effects of gene dysregulation on lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, and associated metabolic disorders. By creating a controlled environment where the CROT gene is completely ablated, these cell lines enable detailed investigations into the pathways that contribute to metabolic disease, making them indispensable for understanding conditions such as obesity and insulin resistance.

The scientific importance of CROT gene knockout cell lines lies significantly in their application in both basic and applied research. In clinical settings, these tools can help identify potential therapeutic targets for metabolic dysfunctions, providing valuable data for drug discovery and development. Additionally, they serve as a reliable model for in vitro testing of new therapeutic compounds meant to modulate lipid metabolism and offer insights into the potential efficacy of treatments.

Among the distinct advantages of our CROT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are their high degree of specificity, reproducibility, and ease of use compared to other genetic modification methods. Researchers are also provided with comprehensive characterizations that include genotype confirmation and phenotypic profiling, ensuring data integrity and experimental reliability.
