GPX3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GPX3

Official Full Name: glutathione peroxidase 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, members of which catalyze the reduction of organic hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by glutathione, and thereby protect cells against oxidative damage. Several isozymes of this gene family exist in vertebrates, which vary in cellular location and substrate specificity. This isozyme is secreted, and is abundantly found in plasma. Downregulation of expression of this gene by promoter hypermethylation has been observed in a wide spectrum of human malignancies, including thyroid cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and chronic myeloid leukemia. This isozyme is also a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) at its active site. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Background

GPX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines in which the GPX3 gene, encoding Glutathione Peroxidase 3, has been disrupted. This genetic alteration provides a unique model for studying the biological functions of GPX3, a pivotal enzyme in the oxidative stress response. By knocking out this gene, researchers can investigate the cellular pathways impacted by changes in antioxidant defense mechanisms, thereby elucidating the role of GPX3 in various physiological and pathological conditions.

The primary function of GPX3 is to catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides using glutathione as a substrate. This enzymatic activity is crucial for maintaining redox homeostasis and protecting cells from oxidative damage. The knockout of the GPX3 gene leads to increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell, serving as a valuable model for research into oxidative stress-related diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disorders.

In both research and clinical settings, GPX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer extensive applications. Researchers can utilize these models to explore mechanisms of cell death, signal transduction pathways activated by oxidative stress, and potential therapeutic targets for antioxidant modulation. Such insights can ultimately lead to the development of novel interventions or treatments for diseases where oxidative stress is a critical factor.

Compared to alternative models, GPX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer the advantage of a complete and targeted disruption of the GPX3 gene, ensuring high specificity in studies related to this enzyme. Unlike partial inhibition methods or pharmacological approaches that may yield variable results, these knockout lines provide consistent and reproducible data, enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians striving to advance their understanding of oxidative stress, the GPX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an indispensable tool, providing a robust platform for investigation. Our company specializes in the development of high-quality genetic models, consistently delivering precise and validated products that empower scientific discovery and innovation in the field of biological research.
