GLB1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GLB1

Official Full Name: galactosidase beta 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 35 family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature lysosomal enzyme. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of a terminal beta-linked galactose residue from ganglioside substrates and other glycoconjugates. Mutations in this gene may result in GM1-gangliosidosis and Morquio B syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

Background

GLB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell cultures specifically designed to lack functional GLB1 gene expression. The GLB1 gene encodes for the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which plays a pivotal role in the degradation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. By systematically silencing this gene, these knockout cell lines provide a powerful tool for modeling the biological consequences of GLB1 dysfunction and studying the pathology associated with disorders such as GM1 gangliosidosis.

The mechanism of action for these cell lines involves targeted gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, which introduces precise deletions or alterations in the GLB1 gene. This creates a void in the functional expression of the encoded enzyme, allowing researchers to investigate the resultant cellular metabolic impacts and signaling pathways. As a result, the GLB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide insight into glycosphingolipid metabolism and the cellular stress responses associated with lysosomal storage diseases.

Scientific importance stems from their applications not only in basic research but also in translational studies aiming for therapeutic advancements. These cell lines enable researchers to explore potential drug candidates, gene therapies, and assess the efficacy of various treatment modalities. In clinical settings, such models can illuminate patient-specific expressions of the disease, guiding personalized medicine approaches.

What sets GLB1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their high specificity, reproducibility, and user-friendly nature. They are meticulously validated to ensure the absence of beta-galactosidase activity, making them an invaluable resource for high-throughput screenings and mechanistic studies with minimal variability.

For researchers and clinicians exploring the intricate association between GLB1 gene function and disease, these cell lines offer a compelling solution for advancing knowledge and developing new interventions. Backed by our company’s dedication to precision biotechnology, we provide unparalleled expertise and support in utilizing these cell lines to propel your research and clinical applications forward.
