CYP2D7 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CYP2D7

Official Full Name: cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily D member 7 (gene/pseudogene)provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the cytochrome P450 gene superfamily. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This gene is a segregating pseudogene, where some individuals may have an allele that encodes a functional enzyme, while other individuals have an allele encoding a protein that is predicted to be non-functional. In this case, the functional allele is thought to be rare. This locus is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

Background

CYP2D7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in the field of pharmacogenomics and drug metabolism research. These cell lines are genetically engineered to lack the CYP2D7 enzyme, a member of the cytochrome P450 family involved in the metabolism of various therapeutic compounds. By knocking out the CYP2D7 gene, researchers can investigate the enzyme's contribution to drug metabolism and assess the influence of genetic variability on drug efficacy and safety profiles.

The key function of CYP2D7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the metabolic pathways of compounds that are typically substrates for the CYP2D family, allowing for a more accurate assessment of drug interactions and pharmacokinetics without the confounding effects of CYP2D7 activity. This enables researchers to delineate the roles of other isoforms in drug metabolism, ultimately leading to better predictions of drug behavior in human populations.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to diverse applications across both in vitro and in vivo studies in drug development, toxicology, and personalized medicine. By utilizing CYP2D7 knockout models, researchers can better understand drug-drug interactions, predict adverse drug reactions, and tailor drug therapies to individual genetic profiles.

One of the unique advantages of these cell lines is the precision with which they allow for the study of drug metabolism. Unlike alternative cell systems that may express multiple CYP450 enzymes concurrently, these knockout lines provide clarity and focus, significantly reducing variability in experimental results. This specificity enhances the reliability of research findings, which is crucial for advancing pharmaceutical applications.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to optimize drug treatments or explore novel therapeutic targets, CYP2D7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide an invaluable tool to drive discovery and innovation.
