DUOX1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DUOX1

Official Full Name: dual oxidase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a glycoprotein and a member of the NADPH oxidase family. The synthesis of thyroid hormone is catalyzed by a protein complex located at the apical membrane of thyroid follicular cells. This complex contains an iodide transporter, thyroperoxidase, and a peroxide generating system that includes proteins encoded by this gene and the similar DUOX2 gene. This protein is known as dual oxidase because it has both a peroxidase homology domain and a gp91phox domain. This protein generates hydrogen peroxide and thereby plays a role in the activity of thyroid peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, and in lactoperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial defense at mucosal surfaces. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

Background

DUOX1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered via CRISPR-Cas9 technology to disrupt the expression of the DUOX1 gene, which encodes for dual oxidase 1, an enzyme implicated in several physiological processes, including reactive oxygen species generation and mucosal immunity. These knockouts allow researchers to investigate the functional roles of DUOX1 in cellular mechanisms and its contributions to various pathologies, including respiratory diseases and cancer.

The primary function of DUOX1 in cellular systems involves the production of hydrogen peroxide, playing a crucial role in host defense against pathogens and regulating cellular signaling pathways. By utilizing DUOX1 knockout cell lines, scientists can elucidate the enzyme’s specific contributions to oxidative stress responses, immune function, and cellular signaling processes. The mechanisms of action can be thoroughly studied to understand how the absence of DUOX1 influences the behavior of epithelial cells and affects disease states.

From a scientific perspective, these cell lines are essential tools in biomedical research. They can aid in drug discovery by facilitating the identification of novel therapeutic targets and elucidating mechanism-of-action studies for existing pharmaceuticals. In clinical settings, understanding DUOX1's role can directly correlate with pathological conditions, thereby informing potential treatment modalities for diseases linked to impaired oxidative stress response.

What sets our DUOX1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from conventional models is their verified CRISPR-mediated precision, ensuring complete knockout of the target gene. This level of specificity is crucial for obtaining reliable data that accurately reflect the biological implications of DUOX1 deficiency. Additionally, these cell lines come with comprehensive characterization data and user-friendly experimental protocols, promoting ease of use and reproducibility in various research settings.

Overall, the DUOX1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present immense value to researchers and clinicians keen on advancing their knowledge of oxidative biology and disease mechanisms. Our company specializes in providing cutting-edge biological products backed by extensive expertise in genetic engineering, ensuring that you have access to high-quality tools that drive innovation in your research endeavors.
