Gene: CYP39A1
Official Full Name: cytochrome P450 family 39 subfamily A 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 endoplasmic reticulum protein is involved in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Its substrates include the oxysterols 25-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 24-hydroxycholesterol. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

CYP39A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specialized set of genetically engineered cells in which the CYP39A1 gene has been selectively inactivated. CYP39A1 encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of bile acids, which are critical for lipid digestion and absorption. The knockout of this gene facilitates the study of its biological functions, mechanisms, and the resulting metabolic pathways that influence cholesterol homeostasis and other physiological processes.
The primary function of these cell lines lies in their ability to model the absence of CYP39A1, enabling researchers to investigate the resultant biochemical and cellular changes. Without the enzyme's activity, researchers can observe alterations in bile acid profiles, assess impacts on lipid metabolism, and understand the downstream effects on cellular signaling pathways. This can lead to greater insights into diseases linked to dysregulated lipid metabolism, including certain hepatic disorders and metabolic syndrome.
Scientifically, the CYP39A1 knockout cell lines are invaluable in both research and clinical contexts. They allow for targeted studies into the relationship between bile acids and various metabolic diseases, offering a platform to test potential therapeutic interventions. Because the role of CYP39A1 extends to the regulation of inflammation and energy homeostasis, these cell lines can also be used in pharmacological studies aimed at developing new drugs.
Compared to alternative methods, such as transient knockdown techniques, our stable knockout models ensure persistent inactivation of the CYP39A1 gene, providing robust and reproducible data. This stability is critical in long-term studies and increases the reliability of experimental outcomes.
The value of the CYP39A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines to researchers and clinicians is highlighted by their potential to elucidate complex metabolic pathways and to foster the discovery of innovative treatments for diseases linked to bile acid metabolism. Our company's commitment to advancing research with innovative gene editing technologies ensures that our products meet the highest standards of scientific rigor and reliability, making them an essential tool for both academic and pharmaceutical laboratories.
