Gene: CYP4F3
Official Full Name: cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene, CYP4F3, 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. The enzyme starts the process of inactivating and degrading leukotriene B4, a potent mediator of inflammation. This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 19. Another member of this family, CYP4F8, is approximately 18 kb away. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2019]

CYP4F3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to exhibit a complete disruption of the CYP4F3 gene, a member of the cytochrome P450 family that plays a significant role in the metabolism of various endogenous and exogenous compounds, including fatty acids and pharmaceuticals. These cell lines serve as essential tools for investigating the biological functions of CYP4F3 and assessing the pharmacological implications of its alterations on drug metabolism.
The key function of the CYP4F3 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to allow researchers to study the gene's role in metabolic pathways without the confounding variables that come from wild-type expression. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or other gene-editing methods, researchers can create a precise knockout of the gene, facilitating a controlled environment to assess the impact of this specific alteration on cellular functions or behaviors. This allows for systematic investigations into how CYP4F3 knockout affects lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, and responses to therapeutics.
The scientific importance of these cell lines extends into both research and clinical settings. They provide valuable insights into various disease states, such as metabolic disorders and the efficacy of drug therapies, leading to a better understanding of individual variability in drug response. Furthermore, these cell lines can be utilized in high-throughput screening assays for potential drug candidates that interact with the metabolic pathways influenced by CYP4F3.
In comparison to alternative models, CYP4F3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced specificity and reliability. Conventional approaches often involve the use of non-specific inhibitors or pharmacological agents that can lead to off-target effects, whereas these knockout models provide a clean slate for researchers, ensuring that observed effects are directly attributable to the absence of CYP4F3.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of CYP4F3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their versatility and precision, making them indispensable in the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, and metabolic research. By enabling focused investigations that elucidate the biochemical pathways impacted by CYP4F3, these cell lines help advance our understanding of human health and disease.
