Gene: DEGS1
Official Full Name: delta 4-desaturase, sphingolipid 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the membrane fatty acid desaturase family which is responsible for inserting double bonds into specific positions in fatty acids. This protein contains three His-containing consensus motifs that are characteristic of a group of membrane fatty acid desaturases. It is predicted to be a multiple membrane-spanning protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. Overexpression of this gene inhibited biosynthesis of the EGF receptor, suggesting a possible role of a fatty acid desaturase in regulating biosynthetic processing of the EGF receptor.

DEGS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models created through the targeted deletion of the DEGS1 gene, which encodes for the enzyme delta-5, delta-4 desaturase 1, involved in sphingolipid metabolism. These cell lines serve as vital tools for elucidating the functional roles of DEGS1 in various biological processes, particularly those associated with membrane dynamics, cell signaling, and lipid homeostasis.
The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines involves the ablation of DEGS1 expression, which allows researchers to study the consequent alterations in sphingolipid profiles and their impact on cellular behavior. By disrupting DEGS1, scientists can investigate its role in diseases such as metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, where sphingolipid dysregulation is implicated. The ability to confirm gene knockout efficacy through techniques like PCR and Western blotting further enhances the reliability of findings derived from these models.
In terms of scientific importance, DEGS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines enable cutting-edge research that expands our understanding of lipid metabolism and its pathological consequences. They are crucial in the development of therapeutic interventions targeting sphingolipid pathways, paving the way for innovative treatment strategies.
Compared to traditional cell lines, DEGS1 knockout lines provide a unique advantage by facilitating direct investigation into specific gene functions without the confounding effects of DEGS1 activity. This specificity enhances data integrity and accelerates discovery processes in biomedical research.
