GLS Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GLS

Official Full Name: glutaminaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the K-type mitochondrial glutaminase. The encoded protein is an phosphate-activated amidohydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamate and ammonia. This protein is primarily expressed in the brain and kidney plays an essential role in generating energy for metabolism, synthesizing the brain neurotransmitter glutamate and maintaining acid-base balance in the kidney. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Background

GLS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to facilitate the study of glutaminase (GLS) gene functions and its various biological pathways. These cell lines provide researchers with a valuable tool to investigate the role of GLS in cellular metabolism, especially in cancer and other metabolic disorders. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, GLS gene knockout cell lines are created to effectively disrupt the GLS gene, leading to the elimination or significant downregulation of its protein product. This precise gene editing allows researchers to explore the resulting impact on cellular functions, metabolic profiles, and responses to therapeutic interventions.

The key functions of these knockout cell lines include serving as a model to assess the role of GLS in glutamine metabolism, which is crucial for the proliferation and survival of many cancer types. By understanding the regulatory mechanisms of GLS, scientists can elucidate its contributions to tumor development and progression, paving the way for potential therapeutic targets. These cell lines are particularly vital in drug discovery and development, as they provide insights into metabolic vulnerabilities that can be exploited in cancer therapies.

What sets our GLS Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart is their robust validation and extensive characterization, ensuring that researchers can rely on reproducible results. Unlike alternative models that may not fully recapitulate the in vivo environment or may exhibit variability, our cell lines offer consistency and a well-established foundation for experimental designs. Furthermore, the availability of different background cell types allows for comparative studies, amplifying the utility of these models in various research contexts.

For researchers and clinicians dedicated to unraveling the complexities of cancer metabolism, GLS Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a powerful asset. Their ability to provide a deeper understanding of metabolic pathways positions them as invaluable in both academic and clinical research settings. Ultimately, choosing our product empowers scientists to drive innovation and discovery in the field of cancer biology.

With a track record of excellence in developing cutting-edge biological products, our company remains committed to supporting your research needs through high-quality, validated tools tailored for the scientific community.
