Gene: GNPTAB
Official Full Name: N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase subunits alpha and betaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes two of three subunit types of the membrane-bound enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase, a heterohexameric complex composed of two alpha, two beta, and two gamma subunits. The encoded protein is proteolytically cleaved at the Lys928-Asp929 bond to yield mature alpha and beta polypeptides while the gamma subunits are the product of a distinct gene (GeneID 84572). In the Golgi apparatus, the heterohexameric complex catalyzes the first step in the synthesis of mannose 6-phosphate recognition markers on certain oligosaccharides of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes. These recognition markers are essential for appropriate trafficking of lysosomal enzymes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with both mucolipidosis II and mucolipidosis IIIA.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

GNPTAB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are highly specialized cellular models developed through advanced genetic engineering techniques to elucidate the functional roles of the GNPTAB gene, which encodes a critical component of the lysosomal enzyme sorting process. By specifically disrupting the GNPTAB gene, these cell lines replicate conditions similar to those observed in mucolipidosis II (MLII) and mucolipidosis III (MLIII), providing researchers with invaluable tools for studying lysosomal storage disorders at a cellular level.
The primary mechanism of GNPTAB gene knockout relies on the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, which introduces precise mutations to inactivate the target gene. This approach allows for the thorough investigation of downstream effects on cellular metabolism, lysosomal function, and the phenotypic manifestations of GNPTAB deficiency. As such, these cell lines serve as a robust platform for targeted drug discovery and therapeutic studies aimed at lysosomal diseases, thereby opening new avenues for potential treatment strategies.
The scientific importance of GNPTAB Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their application in both basic research and clinical studies. They facilitate a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms contributing to lysosomal disorders, thus enabling the development of innovative therapies. Additionally, these cell lines offer researchers the ability to conduct high-throughput screening of potential small molecules or genetic interventions, significantly accelerating the translation of laboratory findings into clinical realities.
What sets GNPTAB Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their high fidelity in mimicking the human disease state and their ease of use in experimental settings. Unlike conventional models, which may exhibit limited relevance or variations in genetic background, these knockouts provide a consistent platform with reproducible results.
For researchers and clinicians focused on lysosomal storage diseases, GNPTAB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an essential resource that not only enhances our understanding of pathological mechanisms but also paves the way for innovative treatments. Our company, with its commitment to cutting-edge genetic technologies and a deep understanding of lysosomal biology, proudly offers these cell lines to advance scientific inquiry and foster breakthroughs in therapeutic development.
