GGCT Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GGCT

Official Full Name: gamma-glutamylcyclotransferaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the formation of 5-oxoproline from gamma-glutamyl dipeptides, the penultimate step in glutathione catabolism, and may play a critical role in glutathione homeostasis. The encoded protein may also play a role in cell proliferation, and the expression of this gene is a potential marker for cancer. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the long arm of chromosome 5 and the short arm of chromosomes 2 and 20. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Background

GGCT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cells specifically designed to lack the expression of the GGCT (Gamma-Glutamyl Cycle Terminator) gene. These cell lines serve as powerful tools for studying the physiological functions of GGCT and its role in various metabolic pathways, particularly in the context of cancer biology and cellular stress response mechanisms.

The key function of GGCT gene knockout is to elucidate the effects of GGCT deficiency on cellular processes, including metabolic regulation, cell survival, and apoptotic pathways. By disrupting the GGCT gene, researchers can investigate how this alteration impacts the gamma-glutamyl cycle, which is crucial for maintaining cellular thiol levels and responding to oxidative stress. The mechanisms at play allow for the assessment of drug targets, therapeutic intervention strategies, and the biochemical ramifications of GGCT's absence in disease models.

The scientific importance of GGCT Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their multifaceted applications in both basic research and clinical settings. These cell lines enable scientists to explore potential correlations between GGCT dysfunction and various malignancies, providing insights into targeted therapies for cancers associated with aberrant glutathione metabolism. Moreover, they serve as models for investigating metabolic disorders and developing treatment modalities based on restoring normal GGCT function.

One of the unique selling points of our GGCT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their high specificity and reliability, compared to other knockout systems. Unlike traditional knockout methodologies that may produce off-target effects, our cell lines offer a stable genome edit with reproducible results, ensuring that experimental outcomes are attributable to GGCT deficiency. Additionally, these cell lines are available in multiple cellular backgrounds, providing flexibility and versatility for diverse experimental conditions.

For researchers and clinicians, GGCT Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource for advancing their understanding of cellular metabolism and exploring therapeutic options. The insights gained from utilizing these cell lines can direct the development of innovative strategies that harness GGCT’s regulation in health and disease.
