ELOVL5 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ELOVL5

Official Full Name: ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the ELO family. It is highly expressed in the adrenal gland and testis, and encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein is involved in the elongation of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia-38 (SCA38). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

Background

ELOVL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that have undergone targeted gene editing to disrupt the expression of the ELOVL5 gene, which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). These cell lines provide researchers with valuable tools for studying the functional impact of ELOVL5 deficiency, as well as the metabolic pathways involved in fatty acid elongation and lipid metabolism. By facilitating the investigation of VLCFA-related disorders, such as those impacting skin lipid barrier function and neurological health, ELOVL5 knockout models enhance our understanding of various physiological and pathological processes.

The principal function of these cell lines revolves around their ability to mimic the conditions of ELOVL5 deficiency, allowing scientists to explore the downstream effects on lipid composition and signaling pathways. The knockout mechanism, utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, leads to a precise deletion of the ELOVL5 gene, thereby providing an efficient and reproducible model system for research applications. This innovative approach yields insights into the potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders, skin conditions, and neurological diseases caused by disruptions in lipid metabolism.

ELOVL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are of paramount scientific importance in both research and clinical settings. Their applications extend to studying metabolic dysregulation, developing novel therapeutics, and fostering advancements in regenerative medicine. Moreover, these cell lines are indispensable for pharmacological testing of compounds aimed at restoring or compensating for VLCFA imbalances, thereby addressing unmet medical needs.

What sets ELOVL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from existing alternatives is their high specificity, consistency, and the advanced gene-editing techniques employed in their creation. Unlike traditional knockout models that present variability, these engineered cell lines ensure a uniform genetic background, allowing for more reliable data interpretation. Additionally, the availability of these specialized cellular models streamlines the research process, facilitating quicker advancements from bench to bedside.

Researchers and clinicians will find immense value in ELOVL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines as they provide an unparalleled opportunity to investigate the role of fatty acids in health and disease, offering pathways to innovative treatment strategies. With a commitment to advancing biological research and therapeutic development, our company specializes in providing cutting-edge cellular models, ensuring that scientists have the essential tools needed to succeed in their groundbreaking research endeavors.
