Gene: HNMT
Official Full Name: histamine N-methyltransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: In mammals, histamine is metabolized by two major pathways: N(tau)-methylation via histamine N-methyltransferase and oxidative deamination via diamine oxidase. This gene encodes the first enzyme which is found in the cytosol and uses S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor. In the mammalian brain, the neurotransmitter activity of histamine is controlled by N(tau)-methylation as diamine oxidase is not found in the central nervous system. A common genetic polymorphism affects the activity levels of this gene product in red blood cells. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HNMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to silence the histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) gene, which is integral to the metabolism of histamine in various biological contexts. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines provide a precise and efficient means to study the functional role of HNMT in histamine-related pathways and its implications in various diseases, such as allergies, asthma, and neurological disorders.
The primary function of HNMT is to catalyze the methylation of histamine, thus regulating its levels in tissues and influencing numerous physiological responses, including immune modulation, neurotransmission, and gastric secretion. The knockout of HNMT leads to an accumulation of histamine, thus enabling researchers to dissect the downstream effects of elevated histamine levels. This operational mechanism serves as a powerful tool for unraveling the complexities of histamine signaling and its contributions to disease states.
The scientific importance of HNMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to simulate pathological conditions that occur with altered histamine metabolism. In research settings, these cell lines can be employed in pharmacological studies to evaluate the efficacy of antihistamine drugs, investigate histamine's role in tumor progression, or explore its influence on immune response dynamics. Clinically, the insights gained from these investigations have the potential to pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies targeting histamine dysregulation.
