IDS Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IDS

Official Full Name: iduronate 2-sulfataseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sulfatase family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate two polypeptide chains. This enzyme is involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Mutations in this gene are associated with the X-linked lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccharidosis type II, also known as Hunter syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Background

IDS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that have undergone precise genetic modification to disable or "knock out" the IDS gene. This gene encodes iduronate-2-sulfatase, an enzyme critical for heparan and dermatan sulfate degradation. By effectively removing the functional IDS gene, these cell lines provide valuable tools for studying the biological consequences of IDUs deficiency, particularly in the context of mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome).

The primary mechanism of action for these knockout cell lines involves the introduction of targeted gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, which disrupt the IDS gene through specific mutations. This results in a complete lack of functional enzyme activity, allowing researchers to explore the resulting cellular and phenotypic changes that occur in the absence of IDS. This insight furthers our understanding of the pathology of Hunter syndrome and other related disorders, paving the way for potential therapeutic strategies.

In research and clinical settings, IDS Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as vital models for drug discovery, enzyme replacement therapy studies, and the evaluation of novel gene-editing interventions. Their capability to mimic the disease condition makes them indispensable for elucidating disease mechanisms and testing potential therapeutic agents.

What sets our IDS Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their rigorous validation and characterization, ensuring reliable results that scientists can trust. These cell lines are not only thoroughly vetted for genetic integrity but also provided with extensive documentation and user guides that streamline research efforts.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to combat the challenges posed by lysosomal storage disorders, these cell lines represent an invaluable resource. They empower the scientific community to unlock new discoveries in treatment modalities and biomolecular research, enhancing our understanding of genetic diseases at the cellular level.
