CYP27B1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CYP27B1

Official Full Name: cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily B member 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it hydroxylates 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at the 1alpha position. This reaction synthesizes 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the active form of vitamin D3, which binds to the vitamin D receptor and regulates calcium metabolism. Thus this enzyme regulates the level of biologically active vitamin D and plays an important role in calcium homeostasis. Mutations in this gene can result in vitamin D-dependent rickets type I.

Background

CYP27B1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to aid researchers in investigating the physiological roles of the CYP27B1 gene, which encodes an enzyme responsible for the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to its active form, calcitriol. This enzymatic conversion plays a critical role in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism, making these cell lines valuable for studying various metabolic disorders, including osteoporosis and renal failure.

The primary mechanism of action of CYP27B1 involves the regulation of vitamin D levels within the body, influencing gene expression associated with bone formation and resorption. In these knockout cell lines, the absence of CYP27B1 allows scientists to delineate the downstream effects of disrupted vitamin D signaling, providing insights into pathophysiological processes and potential therapeutic targets.

These cell lines hold significant scientific importance as they provide a controlled environment for the examination of vitamin D metabolism in vitro, enabling refined studies into its implications for diseases such as rickets, autoimmune conditions, and certain cancers. Their utility extends to drug discovery and the evaluation of novel therapeutic agents aimed at modulating vitamin D pathways.

One of the key advantages of CYP27B1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines compared to traditional models is their precise genetic modification that ensures consistent and reproducible results, which are critical for high-stakes research undertakings. Unlike primary cells that exhibit variability and often have a limited lifespan, these knockout lines offer longevity and reliability, essential features for ongoing experimental procedures.

Researchers and clinicians targeting vitamin D-related pathways will find these cell lines invaluable due to their ability to drastically streamline experimental designs, enhance data interpretation, and facilitate discovery. By leveraging this product, users can accelerate their investigations into the multifaceted roles of vitamin D, ultimately translating findings into impactful clinical applications.
