Gene: GNPTG
Official Full Name: N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase subunit gammaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the gamma sunbunit of the N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase complex. This hexameric complex, composed of alpha, beta and gamma subunits, catalyzes the first step in synthesis of a mannose 6-phosphate lysosomal recognition marker. This enzyme complex is necessary for targeting of lysosomal hydrolases to the lysosome. Mutations in the gene encoding the gamma subunit have been associated with mucolipidosis IIIC, also known as mucolipidosis III gamma.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

GNPTG Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to possess targeted deletions in the GNPTG gene, which plays a crucial role in lysosomal enzyme trafficking and metabolism. This product is designed to facilitate the study of lysosomal storage diseases and related disorders, offering researchers a robust tool for unravelling the complex molecular pathways affected by GNPTG mutations.
The primary mechanism of GNPTG function involves its role in the glycosylation and subsequent sorting of lysosomal enzymes. In the absence of functional GNPTG, which is responsible for recognizing these enzymes and directing them to lysosomes, cellular accumulation of non-degraded substrates occurs, leading to pathogenic consequences. The availability of these knockout cell lines allows for the examination of the biochemical and pathological effects of GNPTG loss, enhancing our understanding of related pathologies.
From a scientific standpoint, these cell lines are invaluable in research settings, providing an in vitro platform for screening potential therapeutic agents aimed at correcting or compensating for the dysfunctional pathways. They can be employed to validate hypotheses regarding disease mechanisms, enabling the identification of innovative strategies for treatment, especially in gene therapy and pharmacological interventions.
Compared to conventional cell lines, GNPTG Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a unique advantage in accurately mimicking the disease state in a controlled environment, thereby streamlining the research process. They serve as highly relevant models for testing drugs for efficacy and safety, significantly reducing time and resources that would otherwise be spent on less predictive systems.
For researchers and clinicians focused on lysosomal diseases, utilizing GNPTG Gene Knockout Cell Lines can accelerate the discovery of impactful treatments and contribute meaningfully to the understanding of lysosomal biology.
