Gene: GALNT8
Official Full Name: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 8provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes. GalNAc-Ts initiate mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus by catalyzing the transfer of GalNAc to serine and threonine residues on target proteins. They are characterized by an N-terminal transmembrane domain, a stem region, a lumenal catalytic domain containing a GT1 motif and Gal/GalNAc transferase motif, and a C-terminal ricin/lectin-like domain. GalNAc-Ts have different, but overlapping, substrate specificities and patterns of expression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GALNT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell models characterized by the targeted deletion of the GALNT8 gene, which encodes the polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 8. This enzyme plays a pivotal role in glycosylation—a critical post-translational modification that influences protein stability, signaling, and interaction in various biological processes. By creating a cell line with a knockout of the GALNT8 gene, researchers can effectively dissect the gene's functional significance and elucidate its involvement in pathological conditions, including cancer and metabolic disorders.
The mechanisms by which GALNT8 gene knockout impacts cellular behavior provide invaluable insights into the regulation of glycan structures. This alteration facilitates studies on how changes in glycosylation can affect cell-cell interactions, protein folding, and receptor functions, contributing to variations in tissue development and response to therapeutics. The availability of such knockout models serves as a powerful platform for assessing potential therapeutic targets and drug development processes.
The scientific importance of GALNT8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic research and clinical applications. Researchers utilize these cell lines to explore glycosylation anomalies associated with diseases, allowing for a better understanding of the molecular underpinnings of various pathologies. In clinical settings, these models can aid in the evaluation of new drugs, enabling personalized medicine approaches tailored to individual glycosylation profiles.
