HMOX1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: HMOX1

Official Full Name: heme oxygenase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Heme oxygenase, an essential enzyme in heme catabolism, cleaves heme to form biliverdin, which is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase, and carbon monoxide, a putative neurotransmitter. Heme oxygenase activity is induced by its substrate heme and by various nonheme substances. Heme oxygenase occurs as 2 isozymes, an inducible heme oxygenase-1 and a constitutive heme oxygenase-2. HMOX1 and HMOX2 belong to the heme oxygenase family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

HMOX1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) gene, which plays a crucial role in heme metabolism and oxidative stress response. This gene is pivotal for the catabolism of heme to biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and iron, contributing to cellular homeostasis, anti-inflammatory responses, and cytoprotection under stress conditions. The knockout of HMOX1 allows researchers to study the gene's function and implications in various biological processes, such as apoptosis, autophagy, and immune responses, in a controlled environment.

The primary mechanism behind HMOX1 function involves the modulation of cellular oxidative stress levels. Without HMOX1, cells exhibit altered reactive oxygen species (ROS) dynamics, which can facilitate investigations into diseases characterized by oxidative stress, including neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. Researchers can elucidate the molecular pathways activated in the absence of HMOX1, providing critical insights into potential therapeutic targets.

The scientific importance of HMOX1 knockout cell lines lies in their application across research settings, facilitating studies on cellular responses to stress and unraveling the genetic underpinnings of diseases. These cell lines also create avenues for the discovery of novel interventions aimed at bolstering cellular defenses in clinical contexts, particularly for conditions linked to oxidative damage.

Distinct advantages of HMOX1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their ability to mimic pathological states and provide a clear comparative perspective to wild-type cells, enabling a more precise understanding of HMOX1’s role. Compared to traditional models, these knockout lines offer enhanced specificity in targeting the function of HMOX1, thus streamlining experimental designs.

Researchers and clinicians will find value in these cell lines as they facilitate not only basic research but also potential translational applications. By leveraging these models, users can advance their understanding of HMOX1 in disease mechanisms and therapeutics, ultimately contributing to better patient management and treatment strategies.

Our company specializes in providing high-quality genetic models and is committed to supporting the scientific community with robust tools to drive research forward. Our HMOX1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines exemplify our dedication to excellence in biological product offerings, enhancing research capabilities for those at the forefront of scientific discovery.
