Gene: LDHB
Official Full Name: lactate dehydrogenase Bprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the B subunit of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme, which catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+ in a post-glycolysis process. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. Recent studies have shown that a C-terminally extended isoform is produced by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon via a stop codon readthrough mechanism, and that this isoform is localized in the peroxisomes. Mutations in this gene are associated with lactate dehydrogenase B deficiency. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes X, 5 and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

LDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in cellular and molecular biology research, specifically engineered to lack the gene encoding lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB). This enzyme plays a critical role in the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, a key metabolic pathway in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. By eliminating LDHB, researchers can create a cellular environment where the influence of this metabolic switch can be studied in greater detail, particularly its role in energy metabolism, cell signaling, and the metabolic adaptations of cancer cells.
The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate studies on the impact of lactate production and its downstream effects on cellular functions, which are intricately linked to tumor progression and the tumor microenvironment. By disrupting the LDHB pathway, researchers can explore alternative metabolic pathways and their contributions to cellular functions, offering insights into metabolic regulation in both physiological and pathological states.
The scientific importance of LDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their wide-ranging applications in cancer research, metabolic disease studies, and drug development. Understanding how LDHB deletion alters cell metabolism informs therapeutic strategies and enhances the development of targeted treatments, particularly in oncology, where metabolic dysregulation is a hallmark of cancer progression.
Compared to alternative methods such as pharmacological inhibition or transient gene silencing, our LDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a stable and reliable platform for long-term experiments, allowing for reproducible results that are critical for advancing scientific knowledge. Furthermore, these lines maintain genetic consistency over multiple passages, thus minimizing variability and supporting more robust conclusions in experimental designs.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of LDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies not only in their ability to clarify metabolic roles but also in their potential to open new avenues for therapeutic intervention. The insights gained from utilizing these cell lines can lead to identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, enriching the landscape of personalized medicine.
