G6PC1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: G6PC1

Official Full Name: glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) is a multi-subunit integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that is composed of a catalytic subunit and transporters for G6P, inorganic phosphate, and glucose. This gene (G6PC) is one of the three glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic-subunit-encoding genes in human: G6PC, G6PC2 and G6PC3. Glucose-6-phosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of D-glucose 6-phosphate to D-glucose and orthophosphate and is a key enzyme in glucose homeostasis, functioning in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type I (GSD1). This disease, also known as von Gierke disease, is a metabolic disorder characterized by severe hypoglycemia associated with the accumulation of glycogen and fat in the liver and kidneys.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Background

G6PC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been genetically engineered to disrupt the function of the Glucose-6-Phosphatase Catalytic Subunit 1 (G6PC1) gene. This gene plays a critical role in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, processes essential for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. By knocking out G6PC1, these cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool to study the mechanistic pathways associated with glucose metabolism disorders, particularly in conditions like Glycogen Storage Disease Type I.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines involves the elimination of the G6PC1 enzyme, thereby altering the intracellular glucose levels and leading to an accumulation of glycogen. Through meticulous experimental design, scientists can observe how these changes affect metabolic processes and cellular signaling pathways. The ability to simulate conditions of G6PC1 deficiency allows for in-depth studies on its physiological impacts, making these cell lines invaluable in the exploration of therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases.

In both research and clinical applications, G6PC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as vital preclinical models for investigating disease mechanisms, drug responses, and potential gene therapy approaches. The scientific significance is underscored by their use in understanding pathogenic mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders, enabling the development of novel treatments aimed at restoring normal metabolic function.

Compared to alternative models, G6PC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer the unique advantage of being specifically tailored to study aspects of glucose metabolism in vitro, allowing for controlled experimentation and reproducibility. Their design facilitates high-throughput screening and provides a versatile platform for therapeutic assessment.

For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic diseases, these cell lines are an essential addition to their investigative toolkit, offering the potential to accelerate discoveries that can lead to innovative therapies. Our company prides itself on its expertise in developing cutting-edge biological models, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of quality and performance to advance scientific inquiry and clinical applications.
