DPH1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DPH1

Official Full Name: diphthamide biosynthesis 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of diphthamide, a modified histidine found only in elongation factor-2 (EEF2). Diphthamide residues in EEF2 are targeted for ADP-ribosylation by diphtheria toxin and Pseudomonas exotoxin A. Defects in this gene have been associated with both ovarian cancer and autosomal recessive intellectual disability with short stature, craniofacial, and ectodermal anomalies.

Background

DPH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the DPH1 gene, which encodes a protein involved in the post-translational modification process critical for the proper functioning of certain methyltransferases. This innovative product enables researchers to study the implications of DPH1 gene absence on various biological pathways, particularly those associated with cellular proliferation, differentiation, and response to stress. The knockout mechanism is achieved through precise genome-editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, ensuring a targeted disruption of the gene while minimizing off-target effects.

The key functions of DPH1 involve facilitating the biosynthesis of diphthamide—a modified histidine found in some eukaryotic elongation factors. Understanding how the knockout of DPH1 affects cellular processes not only sheds light on its role in fundamental biological mechanisms but also reveals its involvement in oncogenesis and potential resistance to chemotherapeutics. In clinical settings, these cell lines can serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery and testing, contributing to more effective therapeutic strategies.

Compared to alternative models, DPH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unparalleled specificity and relevance, being designed with rigorously characterized genetic backgrounds. The profound insights gained from experiments using these cells can lead to breakthroughs in understanding diseases associated with DPH1 dysregulation.

For researchers and clinicians alike, DPH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in cellular models, providing a reliable means to investigate the genetic factors involved in various pathologies. Our company specializes in providing high-quality biological products, backed by robust expertise and a commitment to supporting the scientific community's quest for knowledge and innovation.
