Enpp1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: Enpp1

Official Full Name: ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1provided by RGD

Gene Summary: Enables phosphodiesterase I activity. Involved in several processes, including brain development; cellular response to cAMP; and cellular response to mechanical stimulus. Located in dendrite; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Biomarker of aortic valve disease 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including arterial calcification of infancy; end stage renal disease; obesity; ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of spine; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ENPP1 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Background

Enpp1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cells in which the Enpp1 gene has been specifically disrupted or "knocked out." This gene encodes for the ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in nucleotide metabolism and regulation of phosphate levels. By deactivating this gene, researchers can investigate the broader implications of altered nucleotide signaling and its extensive effects on physiological and pathophysiological processes.

The primary function of these cell lines lies in their ability to elucidate the role of Enpp1 in biological systems. The knockout cells are instrumental in studying cellular mechanisms involved in energy metabolism, bone mineralization, and possibly diabetes-related complications. Through the absence of the Enpp1 enzyme, these models permit direct analysis of changes in nucleotide concentration, phosphate metabolism, and cellular responses related to various diseases, offering a unique perspective for both fundamental and applied research.

The scientific significance of Enpp1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to diverse fields, including pharmacology, biochemistry, and regenerative medicine. Their application can lead to novel therapeutic approaches for disorders linked to dysregulated nucleotide homeostasis. In clinical settings, these cell lines can serve as preclinical models for drug development aimed at conditions influenced by Enpp1 activity, providing critical insights before human trials.

A distinct advantage these cell lines offer over alternative models, such as wild-type cells, is the precise genetic modification that allows scientists to specifically target and assess the downstream effects of Enpp1 deficiency. This specificity leads to more reliable and reproducible results, fostering a deeper understanding of underlying biological processes.

For researchers and clinicians striving for clarity in their studies of nucleotide metabolism and its implications in human health, Enpp1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable tool. They simplify the process of untangling complex biological interactions in systems that previously proved challenging to decipher.
