GALNT7 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GALNT7

Official Full Name: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 7provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes GalNAc transferase 7, a member of the GalNAc-transferase family. The enzyme encoded by this gene controls the initiation step of mucin-type O-linked protein glycosylation and transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine to serine and threonine amino acid residues. This enzyme is a type II transmembrane protein and shares common sequence motifs with other family members. Unlike other family members, this enzyme shows exclusive specificity for partially GalNAc-glycosylated acceptor substrates and shows no activity with non-glycosylated peptides. This protein may function as a follow-up enzyme in the initiation step of O-glycosylation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

GALNT7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically engineered to disrupt the expression of the GALNT7 gene, which encodes a member of the polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family. This gene plays a crucial role in the glycosylation process, specifically in the initiation of O-linked glycosylation of proteins. By knocking out GALNT7, these cell lines produce valuable insights into the biological pathways influenced by altered glycosylation patterns, thereby enhancing our understanding of various cellular processes, including protein stability, intercellular signaling, and disease development.

These knockout cell lines operate primarily through the elimination of GALNT7 expression, resulting in the reduction or absence of specific glycan structures on target proteins. This mechanism allows researchers to investigate how the lack of GALNT7-mediated glycosylation affects cellular functions, including cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Such insights can be pivotal in exploring disease mechanisms, particularly in cancer, where aberrant glycosylation is often observed.

The scientific importance of GALNT7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into both research and clinical applications. In research, they serve as a model to study the functional consequences of altered glycosylation patterns, and their effects on cell behavior and interactions. Moreover, they can be utilized in drug development and testing, providing a platform to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic agents targeting glycosylation-related pathways. Clinically, understanding the role of GALNT7 may lead to breakthroughs in the treatment of diseases associated with altered glycosylation.

What sets GALNT7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their specificity and utility in glycosylation research. Unlike traditional cell lines that may exhibit mixed glycosylation patterns, these knockout lines offer a more controlled environment for studying the effects of precise genetic modifications. Their application can lead to more reproducible and reliable experimental outcomes, making them an invaluable tool for researchers and clinicians alike.
