HYAL1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: HYAL1

Official Full Name: hyaluronidase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a lysosomal hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidases intracellularly degrade hyaluronan, one of the major glycosaminoglycans of the extracellular matrix. Hyaluronan is thought to be involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. This enzyme is active at an acidic pH and is the major hyaluronidase in plasma. Mutations in this gene are associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type IX, or hyaluronidase deficiency. The gene is one of several related genes in a region of chromosome 3p21.3 associated with tumor suppression. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Background

HYAL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models that specifically lack the expression of the HYAL1 gene, which encodes for hyaluronidase type 1, an enzyme involved in the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. By generating these knockout cell lines, researchers can uniquely investigate the physiological and pathological roles of hyaluronidase in various biological processes, particularly those related to tissue development, inflammation, and tumor biology.

The deletion of the HYAL1 gene allows for the detailed study of mechanisms underlying hyaluronic acid metabolism, cell signaling pathways, and extracellular matrix dynamics. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to examine how the absence of HYAL1 affects cell behavior, such as proliferation, migration, and interaction with other cell types. This model serves as a valuable tool for elucidating the molecular pathways that contribute to ailments such as cancer, where hyaluronic acid's role as a tumor microenvironment modifier is increasingly recognized.

One of the significant advantages of our HYAL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their reproducibility and specificity, which surpasses the general effects seen with pharmacological inhibition of hyaluronidase. Unlike alternative methods, such as transient siRNA knockdown or broad-spectrum enzyme inhibitors, these stable cell lines provide long-term insights into cellular behavior without the confounding variability of transient knockdowns. Researchers will appreciate the ability to conduct systematic studies that lead to more reliable experimental outcomes, an essential attribute in both basic research and therapeutic development settings.

For clinicians and researchers aiming to unravel the complexities of hyaluronic acid's role in health and disease, these knockout cell lines represent a critical resource. They empower scientists to explore novel therapeutic targets and develop treatments for conditions where hyaluronidase activity plays a pivotal role.

With our extensive expertise in cellular engineering and commitment to providing cutting-edge biological products, we offer researchers unparalleled tools to advance their scientific inquiries. Our HYAL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are designed to meet the highest standards of quality and efficacy, ensuring that you have the best resources available to explore new frontiers in medical research.
