GGCX Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GGCX

Official Full Name: gamma-glutamyl carboxylaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an integral membrane protein of the rough endoplasmic reticulum that carboxylates glutamate residues of vitamin K-dependent proteins to gamma carboxyl glutamate, a modification that is required for their activity. The vitamin K-dependent protein substrates have a propeptide that binds the enzyme, with carbon dioxide, dioxide, and reduced vitamin K acting as co-substrates. Vitamin K-dependent proteins affect a number of physiologic processes including blood coagulation, prevention of vascular calcification, and inflammation. Allelic variants of this gene have been associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like disorder with associated multiple coagulation factor deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Background

GGCX Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized in vitro models created by targeted gene disruption of the gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) gene. This gene is critical for the carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent proteins, which play essential roles in coagulation, bone metabolism, and vascular biology. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, these knockout cell lines enable researchers to study the functional consequences of GGCX deficiency, providing a clearer understanding of its role in various pathophysiological conditions.

The primary mechanism of action for GGCX Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the precise deletion of the GGCX gene, resulting in the loss of functional protein expression. This allows for the examination of downstream effects on vitamin K metabolism and the broader implications on cell signaling pathways, particularly those connected to coagulation and bone health. Researchers can utilize these models to explore various disease states, including hemorrhagic disorders, osteoporosis, and certain cancers, ultimately advancing therapeutic development.

The scientific significance of GGCX Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their potential applications in both basic research and clinical settings. The ability to model GGCX deficiencies provides insights into disease mechanisms, helping to identify biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Additionally, these cell lines are instrumental in screening new pharmacological agents that can modulate GGCX activity.

Compared to traditional cell models or less targeted gene disruption techniques, GGCX Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages, such as enhanced specificity and reproducibility. Their use eliminates off-target effects associated with other methodologies, which greatly increases the reliability of experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing our understanding of vitamin K-related diseases, GGCX Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable tool. The product not only facilitates high-quality scientific exploration but also supports the translation of laboratory findings into clinical applications.
