Gene: ETHE1
Official Full Name: ETHE1 persulfide dioxygenaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the metallo beta-lactamase family of iron-containing proteins involved in the mitochondrial sulfide oxidation pathway. The encoded protein catalyzes the oxidation of a persulfide substrate to sulfite. Certain mutations in this gene cause ethylmalonic encephalopathy, an infantile metabolic disorder affecting the brain, gastrointestinal tract and peripheral vessels. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

ETHE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to specifically knock out the ETHE1 gene, which encodes for the ethylmalonic encephalopathy 1 (EME1) enzyme. This enzyme plays a critical role in the mitochondrial metabolism of sulfur-containing compounds, influencing a range of biological processes, including energy production and cellular redox balance. By creating a stable knockout of the ETHE1 gene, researchers can effectively study the functional consequences of this gene loss on cellular physiology, metabolic pathways, and disease mechanisms.
The primary mechanism of action of the ETHE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the disruption of ETHE1 gene expression through targeted genome editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9 or homologous recombination. This knockout leads to a loss of EME1 activity, allowing for the investigation of alternative metabolic pathways that may compensate for this loss, as well as unraveling the pathophysiological underpinnings associated with ETHE1 deficiency.
This product holds significant scientific importance in both research and clinical settings, particularly for studying inherited metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Researchers can utilize these models to conduct comprehensive studies on disease mechanisms, drug testing, and biomarker discovery, facilitating advancements in therapeutic interventions.
What sets ETHE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional models is their precision and reliability. These custom cell lines provide a standardized and reproducible platform, overcoming limitations associated with primary cell cultures or animal models that may not accurately mimic human pathologies. Additionally, the ability to use these cell lines in high-throughput screening assays enhances their feasibility for large-scale drug discovery efforts.
For researchers and clinicians aiming to delve deeper into the role of ETHE1 in human disease, ETHE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource. They empower users to understand disease mechanisms better and foster the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Our company prides itself on its cutting-edge genetic engineering expertise and commitment to providing high-quality biological products that accelerate scientific discoveries.
