GSTT1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GSTT1

Official Full Name: glutathione S-transferase theta 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene, glutathione S-transferase (GST) theta 1 (GSTT1), is a member of a superfamily of proteins that catalyze the conjugation of reduced glutathione to a variety of electrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. Human GSTs can be divided into five main classes: alpha, mu, pi, theta, and zeta. The theta class includes GSTT1, GSTT2, and GSTT2B. GSTT1 and GSTT2/GSTT2B share 55% amino acid sequence identity and may play a role in human carcinogenesis. The GSTT1 gene is haplotype-specific and is absent from 38% of the population. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

Background

GSTT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models created for the purpose of studying the physiological and pathological roles of the GSTT1 gene, which encodes for the enzyme glutathione S-transferase theta 1. This enzyme plays a crucial role in detoxifying harmful compounds and protecting cells from oxidative stress. By strategically knocking out the GSTT1 gene, these cell lines enable researchers to investigate the gene's contributions to various biological processes, including drug metabolism, cancer progression, and responses to environmental toxins.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide a controlled environment for assessing the impacts of GSTT1 deficiency. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, the cell lines are developed to eliminate the expression of the GSTT1 gene precisely, thus allowing for detailed analysis of downstream effects and compensatory mechanisms. Researchers can employ these lines in various assays to evaluate alterations in drug sensitivity, metabolic pathways, and stress responses that are influenced by the absence of GSTT1 activity.

In both research and clinical settings, the GSTT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold immense value. They are essential tools for studying the genetic basis of diseases where GSTT1 is implicated, offering insights into personalized medicine by helping identify individuals at risk for adverse drug reactions or specific toxic exposures. They are also valuable in drug discovery processes, facilitating the development of safer and more effective therapeutics targeting diseases related to oxidative stress and detoxification pathways.

Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines, the GSTT1 knockout variants provide a unique advantage by creating a clear delineation between normal and altered cellular responses, allowing for more accurate interpretation of experimental results. Additionally, these cell lines can be used in combination with a range of assays, enhancing their adaptability and application in various experimental contexts.

The investment in GSTT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represents a significant advancement in the understanding of gene function and cellular mechanics.
