GSS Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GSS

Official Full Name: glutathione synthetaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Glutathione is important for a variety of biological functions, including protection of cells from oxidative damage by free radicals, detoxification of xenobiotics, and membrane transport. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer to catalyze the second step of glutathione biosynthesis, which is the ATP-dependent conversion of gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine to glutathione. Defects in this gene are a cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

GSS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines with targeted deletions of the glutathione synthetase (GSS) gene, integral to the synthesis of glutathione, a critical antioxidant that plays a vital role in cellular protection against oxidative stress. These knockout models provide researchers with invaluable tools for investigating the biological implications of GSS deficiency, particularly in the context of various diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes.

The key function of GSS Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to allow scientists to study the downstream effects of reduced glutathione levels on cellular homeostasis, apoptosis, and immune response. By utilizing these cell lines, researchers can elucidate the metabolic pathways affected by GSS deletion and explore potential therapeutic targets for restoring cellular function in diseases associated with oxidative stress.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their application in both basic and applied research. Clinically, they enable the evaluation of new antioxidant therapies or drug candidates aimed at enhancing cellular resilience. In research settings, they enhance the understanding of how disturbances in redox balance can influence disease progression, paving the way for innovative therapeutic interventions.

Compared to alternative methods such as pharmacological inhibition of GSS or transient silencing techniques, GSS Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a permanent and stable genetic alteration that allows for prolonged studies and reproducibility of results. Additionally, their use reflects a more refined and transparent approach to functional genomics.

For researchers and clinicians focused on oxidative stress and its implications, the GSS Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource for advancing knowledge and developing interventions. Our company, with a strong commitment to providing high-quality biological products and expertise in genetic engineering, is proud to offer these cell lines as part of our innovative solutions for the scientific community.
