Gene: GATM
Official Full Name: glycine amidinotransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that belongs to the amidinotransferase family. This enzyme is involved in creatine biosynthesis, whereby it catalyzes the transfer of a guanido group from L-arginine to glycine, resulting in guanidinoacetic acid, the immediate precursor of creatine. Mutations in this gene cause arginine:glycine amidinotransferase deficiency, an inborn error of creatine synthesis characterized by cognitive disability, language impairment, and behavioral disorders.

GATM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines designed for the functional study of the Glycine Amidino Transferase (GATM) gene, crucial in the biosynthesis of creatine. This gene encodes an enzyme that facilitates the transfer of an amidino group, playing a significant role in energy metabolism and cellular function across various biological systems. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create targeted deletions or mutations in the GATM gene, these knockout cell lines enable researchers to investigate the precise biological pathways influenced by GATM and its impact on creatine levels within cells.
In terms of functionality, GATM gene knockout cell lines provide a powerful platform for elucidating the mechanisms underlying reduced creatine synthesis and its associated metabolic disorders. By examining these cell lines, scientists can gain insights into diseases linked to energy metabolism dysfunction, including neurodegenerative diseases and certain myopathies. Additionally, these cell lines can be instrumental in drug discovery processes, allowing for high-throughput screening of compounds aimed at modulating creatine biosynthesis.
The scientific importance of GATM knockout cell lines cannot be overstated, as they offer researchers the opportunity to delineate the role of GATM in various physiological and pathological contexts. Compared to conventional methods for studying gene function, such as RNA interference, these knockout cell lines provide a more stable and definitive genetic alteration, ensuring reliable and reproducible results. Furthermore, the precise genetic modifications made using cutting-edge genome-editing technology minimize off-target effects, enhancing experimental accuracy.
For researchers and clinicians looking to understand or target metabolic pathways in their work, GATM Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable asset. The unique selling point lies in their capacity to accurately mimic the effects of GATM loss, enabling high-caliber research with real translational potential into therapeutic strategies.
