IDH3A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IDH3A

Official Full Name: isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)) 3 catalytic subunit alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Isocitrate dehydrogenases catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate. These enzymes belong to two distinct subclasses, one of which utilizes NAD(+) as the electron acceptor and the other NADP(+). Five isocitrate dehydrogenases have been reported: three NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, which localize to the mitochondrial matrix, and two NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, one of which is mitochondrial and the other predominantly cytosolic. NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases catalyze the allosterically regulated rate-limiting step of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Each isozyme is a heterotetramer that is composed of two alpha subunits, one beta subunit, and one gamma subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of one isozyme of NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

IDH3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in the field of molecular biology and genetics, specifically designed to understand the implications of the IDH3A gene in cellular metabolism and disease. These cell lines are engineered through precise gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, to create stable knockouts of the IDH3A gene, which encodes the alpha subunit of the isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. By disrupting this gene, researchers can investigate the resulting biochemical changes and their impact on cellular functions, including energy metabolism, oxidative stress response, and metabolic reprogramming.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to elucidate the role of IDH3A in various physiological and pathological contexts, such as cancer metabolism and neurological disorders. Through studies utilizing these cell lines, scientists can analyze alterations in metabolic pathways and assess the functional consequences of IDH3A loss on cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. This provides critical insights into the biological mechanisms that underpin diseases linked to dysfunctional energy metabolism.

In a research setting, the IDH3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for identifying potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers, particularly in cancer and metabolic syndromes where alterations in mitochondrial function can drive disease progression. Clinically, understanding the role of IDH3A may lead to the development of novel treatment strategies aimed at restoring metabolic balance in affected tissues.

What sets these cell lines apart from conventional models is their precise genetic modification, which allows for exact validation of hypotheses regarding the IDH3A gene's functions. Additionally, they provide a reproducible system for drug screening and metabolic studies, offering a more reliable and relevant platform for researchers. The unique ability to generate tailored metabolic profiles makes these knockout cell lines particularly advantageous over traditional models that may not capture the complexities of IDH3A-related pathways.

By integrating the latest advancements in gene editing with comprehensive documentation of cellular responses, our company ensures that researchers and clinicians are equipped with precise tools to advance their work. With a commitment to quality and innovation in biological products, we aim to empower the scientific community in their quest for knowledge and therapeutic solutions.
