FDPS Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: FDPS

Official Full Name: farnesyl diphosphate synthaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the production of geranyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The resulting product, farnesyl pyrophosphate, is a key intermediate in cholesterol and sterol biosynthesis, a substrate for protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, and a ligand or agonist for certain hormone receptors and growth receptors. Drugs that inhibit this enzyme prevent the post-translational modifications of small GTPases and have been used to treat diseases related to bone resorption. Multiple pseudogenes have been found on chromosomes 1, 7, 14, 15, 21 and X. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Background

FDPS Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge tool in molecular biology, specifically engineered to silence the farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) gene, which plays a pivotal role in the mevalonate pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis. These cell lines provide researchers with a robust platform to study the biological effects of FDPS gene deletion, allowing for deeper insights into cell proliferation, differentiation, and metabolic regulation. By knocking out the FDPS gene, these lines enable the investigation of altered pathways leading to potential therapeutic targets in diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders.

Mechanistically, FDPS Gene Knockout Cell Lines utilize CRISPR-Cas9 technology for precise gene editing, resulting in the complete disruption of the FDPS gene. This gene disruption prompts downstream changes in cellular metabolism and signaling pathways, providing a unique opportunity to dissect the roles of FDPS in various biological contexts. These cell lines are invaluable for studying the implications of FDPS inhibition on cellular function and for screening compounds that target the mevalonate pathway.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both research and clinical applications. Researchers can leverage these tools to uncover novel therapeutic approaches in cancer therapy, as FDPS has been implicated in tumor cell survival and growth. Additionally, insights gained from these models can inform the development of new lipid-lowering drugs aimed at regulating cholesterol levels in patients at risk of cardiovascular diseases.

A significant advantage of FDPS Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their ability to provide reproducible and specific results, eliminating the variability often seen with other gene silencing techniques. Unlike traditional methods such as RNA interference, CRISPR technology offers a permanent gene knockout, allowing for long-term studies and more informative data on functional consequences.

For researchers and clinicians focused on signaling pathways and metabolic diseases, the FDPS Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as a vital resource to enhance understanding of pathophysiology and to drive the discovery of innovative treatments. With a dedicated commitment to advancing scientific research, our company specializes in providing high-quality biological products and innovative gene-editing solutions, ensuring that researchers have the precise tools they need to uncover new biological insights.
