GSTA4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GSTA4

Official Full Name: glutathione S-transferase alpha 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of glutathione S-transferase are encoded by two distinct supergene families. These enzymes are involved in cellular defense against toxic, carcinogenic, and pharmacologically active electrophilic compounds. At present, eight distinct classes of the soluble cytoplasmic mammalian glutathione S-transferases have been identified: alpha, kappa, mu, omega, pi, sigma, theta and zeta. This gene encodes a glutathione S-tranferase belonging to the alpha class. The alpha class genes, which are located in a cluster on chromosome 6, are highly related and encode enzymes with glutathione peroxidase activity that function in the detoxification of lipid peroxidation products. Reactive electrophiles produced by oxidative metabolism have been linked to a number of degenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cataract formation, and atherosclerosis.

Background

GSTA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the glutathione S-transferase A4 (GSTA4) gene, a critical participant in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds and reactive oxygen species. These cell lines serve as vital tools for elucidating the role of GSTA4 in cellular metabolism, drug resistance, and oxidative stress responses. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology or other gene-editing techniques, these cell lines are created to facilitate targeted studies on the physiological implications of GSTA4 knockout in various biological processes.

The functional mechanisms of GSTA4 involve its involvement in the conjugation of glutathione to potentially toxic compounds, aiding in their detoxification. Consequently, the absence of GSTA4 alters cellular responses to oxidative stress and influences metabolic pathways, making these knockout cell lines invaluable for researchers investigating oxidative stress-related pathologies, drug metabolism, and the mechanisms of disease progression.

In research and clinical settings, GSTA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a unique platform for studying the biochemical basis of diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and age-related conditions. Their utility extends to drug discovery, where understanding the role of GSTA4 could uncover new therapeutic targets.

The advantages of using GSTA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines over alternatives, such as wild-type or overexpressing cell lines, include a clearer delineation of GSTA4's specific contributions in a controlled environment. Their precision allows researchers to produce reproducible and reliable data, which is essential for advancing the scientific understanding necessary for effective treatment development.

For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies, GSTA4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical resource for gaining deeper insights into metabolic pathways and enhancing the efficacy of therapeutic interventions.
