Gene: HOGA1
Official Full Name: 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The authors of PMID:20797690 cloned this gene while searching for genes in a region of chromosome 10 linked to primary hyperoxalurea type III. They noted that even though the encoded protein has been described as a mitochondrial dihydrodipicolinate synthase-like enzyme, it shares little homology with E. coli dihydrodipicolinate synthase (Dhdps), particularly in the putative substrate-binding region. Moreover, neither lysine biosynthesis nor sialic acid metabolism, for which Dhdps is responsible, occurs in vertebrate mitochondria. They propose that this gene encodes mitochondrial 4-hydroxyl-2-oxoglutarate aldolase (EC 4.1.3.16), which catalyzes the final step in the metabolic pathway of hydroxyproline, releasing glyoxylate and pyruvate. This gene is predominantly expressed in the liver and kidney, and mutations in this gene are found in patients with primary hyperoxalurea type III. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

HOGA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cell lines that have had the HOGA1 gene inactivated through precise genetic modification techniques. The HOGA1 gene encodes for hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase, an important enzyme involved in the metabolic pathway of 2-hydroxyglutarate, which plays a significant role in cellular metabolism and cancer biology. By knocking out this gene, researchers can study its functions, mechanisms, and implications in disease processes such as cancer and metabolic disorders.
These cell lines utilize CRISPR-Cas9 technology for gene editing, which ensures a high level of specificity and efficiency in the knockout process. The absence of HOGA1 allows for the examination of altered metabolic profiles, signaling pathways, and phenotypic changes that occur in various biological contexts. This mechanism not only aids in understanding the fundamental biology of HOGA1 but also permits exploration of therapeutic targets associated with metabolic dysregulation and tumorigenesis.
In terms of scientific importance, these knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools for researching the pathophysiology of diseases linked to altered HOGA1 activity. They can be used to model diseases, screen potential therapeutic compounds, and investigate metabolic pathways, thus contributing to advancements in drug discovery and personalized medicine.
Compared to traditional methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference, HOGA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a stable and permanent modification, enabling long-term studies without the variability associated with transient gene expression techniques. Additionally, our cell lines are rigorously validated for consistent performance and reliability across multiple experiments and conditions.
For researchers and clinicians, the ability to precisely control gene expression and observe the subsequent effects on cellular behavior is critical. HOGA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines empower users to gain deep insights into metabolic pathways, enhance their experimental designs, and potentially pave the way for new therapeutic approaches.
