Gene: ECHS1
Official Full Name: enoyl-CoA hydratase, short chain 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene functions in the second step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. It catalyzes the hydration of 2-trans-enoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) intermediates to L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs. The gene product is a member of the hydratase/isomerase superfamily. It localizes to the mitochondrial matrix. Transcript variants utilizing alternative transcription initiation sites have been described in the literature. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ECHS1 gene knockout cell lines are precision-engineered cellular models that have had the ECHS1 gene inactivated to study the gene's function and associated pathways effectively. The ECHS1 (Enoyl-CoA hydratase, short-chain 1) gene is critical for fatty acid metabolism, specifically involved in the mitochondrial beta-oxidation of fatty acids. By employing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, these knockout cell lines provide researchers with powerful tools to elucidate the biological roles of ECHS1 and its impact on cellular metabolism and disease states.
The key function of ECHS1 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic conditions where ECHS1 is absent, enabling the dissection of metabolic pathways that contribute to fatty acid degradation. This allows scientists to observe cellular adaptations, compensatory mechanisms, and metabolic dysregulations that might lead to conditions such as metabolic syndrome or mitochondrial diseases. Such insights are invaluable for both basic research and the development of targeted therapies.
In the realm of scientific research and clinical applications, these knockout cell lines facilitate groundbreaking studies into mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, forming the basis for developing new treatments for metabolic disorders. They are essential for drug discovery, toxicological assessments, and understanding the mechanisms of diseases where ECHS1 plays a substantial role.
Compared to traditional methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference, ECHS1 gene knockout cell lines offer stable gene inactivation and more profound functional studies. They're advantageous in providing reproducible results that can be extended to in vivo models, making them a more robust choice for researchers.
This product is particularly valuable for researchers and clinicians alike, as it opens new avenues to explore metabolic pathways and investigate novel therapeutic strategies. It empowers scientists to generate data that can lead to better understanding and management of diseases linked to aberrant fatty acid metabolism.
