GBE1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GBE1

Official Full Name: 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen branching enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of alpha-1,4-linked glucosyl units from the outer end of a glycogen chain to an alpha-1,6 position on the same or a neighboring glycogen chain. Branching of the chains is essential to increase the solubility of the glycogen molecule and, consequently, in reducing the osmotic pressure within cells. Highest level of this enzyme are found in liver and muscle. Mutations in this gene are associated with glycogen storage disease IV (also known as Andersen's disease). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

GBE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that have been specifically developed to lack the GBE1 gene, which encodes for an essential enzyme in glycogen metabolism. These knockout cell lines serve as critical tools for studying the physiological and pathological roles of the GBE1 gene, particularly in the context of glycogen storage diseases, such as Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV. By providing a system that mimics the genetic conditions affecting patients, researchers can better understand the biochemical disruptions that occur due to GBE1 deficiency.

The key function of GBE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their ability to facilitate the investigation of metabolic pathways associated with glycogen synthesis and degradation, enabling researchers to elucidate the mechanisms of glycogen-related disorders. These cell lines allow for functional assays and drug screening, thereby accelerating the discovery of potential therapeutic interventions. When utilized in research, they provide insights into gene expression alterations, enzymatic activity, and cellular responses to various stimuli, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of disease pathology.

The scientific importance of GBE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to their applications in translational research and clinical settings. They enable the development of gene therapies and elucidate the effects of novel pharmacological agents, enhancing therapeutic approaches for individuals suffering from glycogen storage diseases.

In comparison to traditional models, such as wild-type cell lines or animal models, GBE1 knockout cell lines offer specific advantages including a more controlled environment, precise genetic modifications, and the ability to conduct high-throughput screening. This specificity enhances the reliability and reproducibility of experimental results, making it easier to draw meaningful conclusions.

For researchers and clinicians, GBE1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable asset in the quest for understanding complex metabolic disorders and developing effective treatments. By leveraging these advanced models, professionals in the field can maximize their research efficiencies, ultimately leading to significant advancements in patient care.
