CYP2E1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CYP2E1

Official Full Name: cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E 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. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and is induced by ethanol, the diabetic state, and starvation. The enzyme metabolizes both endogenous substrates, such as ethanol, acetone, and acetal, as well as exogenous substrates including benzene, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene glycol, and nitrosamines which are premutagens found in cigarette smoke. Due to its many substrates, this enzyme may be involved in such varied processes as gluconeogenesis, hepatic cirrhosis, diabetes, and cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CYP2E1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models in which the CYP2E1 gene has been inactivated, allowing researchers to study the enzymatic functions and pathways regulated by this important gene. CYP2E1, a member of the cytochrome P450 family, is involved in the metabolism of numerous substrates including alcohol, acetaminophen, and various environmental toxins. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the role of CYP2E1 in drug metabolism, toxicity, and the development of diseases related to oxidative stress and inflammation.

The primary function of these engineered cell lines revolves around their ability to facilitate the dissection of CYP2E1-mediated metabolic processes. The absence of the CYP2E1 gene enables researchers to observe alterations in metabolic function, delineate metabolic pathways, and evaluate the impact of various compounds on cellular health. This is particularly important in the context of pharmacogenomics and toxicology studies, where understanding individual metabolic variations can lead to better therapeutic strategies.

In terms of scientific importance, CYP2E1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in both research and clinical settings. They provide a controlled environment to study the knockout phenotype in response to drug exposure or environmental toxins, offering insights into susceptibility to liver disease and other metabolic disorders. This becomes especially relevant in drug development processes where the metabolic profile of compounds can significantly influence efficacy and safety.

The unique selling points of these knockout cell lines include their specificity and reliability compared to conventional models. Unlike wild-type cell lines that express both the gene and its variants, CYP2E1 knockout lines eliminate confounding factors, allowing for clearer interpretations of results. This precision is essential when tailoring therapeutic approaches or conducting toxicological assessments, ultimately saving researchers time and resources.

Researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers will find considerable value in these cell lines as they represent a critical tool for advancing knowledge in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. By facilitating the understanding of CYP2E1's role in human health and disease, these models underscore the promise of personalized medicine.
