Gene: FUT8
Official Full Name: fucosyltransferase 8provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme belonging to the family of fucosyltransferases. The product of this gene catalyzes the transfer of fucose from GDP-fucose to N-linked type complex glycopeptides. This enzyme is distinct from other fucosyltransferases which catalyze alpha1-2, alpha1-3, and alpha1-4 fucose addition. The expression of this gene may contribute to the malignancy of cancer cells and to their invasive and metastatic capabilities. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

FUT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to eliminate the expression of the FUT8 gene, which encodes the enzyme fucosyltransferase 8. This enzyme is pivotal in the fucosylation process, wherein fucose, a monosaccharide, is added to glycoproteins. The absence of FUT8 alters glycosylation patterns, leading to significant changes in cellular functions, including interactions with growth factors, immune signaling, and tumorigenesis.
The key function of these knockout cell lines is to provide researchers with a versatile tool for investigating the biological implications of fucosylation. By studying these cells, scientists can elucidate the role of the FUT8 gene in various physiological and pathological processes, such as cancer progression, immune response modulation, and the development of therapeutic antibodies. Furthermore, these cell lines facilitate the examination of potential therapeutic strategies aimed at manipulating glycosylation patterns for improved efficacy in drug development.
The scientific importance of FUT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in both basic research and clinical settings. These models not only enable high-throughput screening of compounds affecting glycosylation but also serve as crucial tools in identifying biomarkers for diseases associated with aberrant fucosylation. They can be employed in research focused on cancer biology, immunology, and regenerative medicine, significantly contributing to advancements in these fields.
One of the unique selling points of our FUT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their precise engineering and verification, ensuring consistency and reproducibility, which are critical for experimental integrity. Unlike other cell lines that may exhibit variable genetic backgrounds or incomplete knockout efficiency, our models provide a reliable platform to study fucosylation. Researchers can be confident in our cell lines as they streamline the process of upscaling experiments with predictable outcomes.
Investing in FUT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines empowers researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the complexities of glycosylation. These products promise to enhance research outcomes and accelerate the translation of findings into clinical approaches. With a focus on delivering high-quality biological tools, our company leverages extensive expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development to support groundbreaking research in glycoscience and beyond.
