Gene: LDHD
Official Full Name: lactate dehydrogenase Dprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family. The similar protein in yeast has both D-lactate and D-glycerate dehydrogenase activities. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LDHD Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate and vice versa. This product serves as a vital tool for researchers investigating metabolic pathways, cellular respiration, and the role of lactate in various physiological contexts. By creating a knockout of the LDHD gene, these cell lines allow for the in-depth study of not only LDH's function but also its broader implications in cancer biology, metabolic disorders, and tissue engineering.
The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines involves the precise modification of the LDHD gene, often through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which guarantees an efficient and targeted deletion. This alteration results in a loss of enzyme activity that can profoundly affect energy metabolism and lactate production, providing invaluable insights into how cells adapt to changes in their metabolic environment. Researchers can utilize these models to explore compensatory metabolic changes, evaluate therapeutic targets, and test the effects of potential pharmacological interventions.
The scientific importance of LDHD Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their broad applicability, particularly in the areas of cancer research, where lactate metabolism is known to influence tumor growth and progression. In clinical settings, understanding the differential roles of LDH isoforms can inform treatment strategies for various malignancies, as well as metabolic diseases like diabetes.
Compared to alternative in vitro models, LDHD Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer clear advantages, including specificity in gene targeting and a well-characterized background that enhances reproducibility. Additionally, these cell lines can be easily cultured and manipulated to represent various tissue types, making them versatile tools for personalized medicine applications.
For researchers and clinicians alike, these cell lines present a unique opportunity to facilitate groundbreaking discoveries and pave the way for innovative therapies. The ability to interrogate the fundamentally altered metabolic pathways provides a platform for understanding complex disease mechanisms and developing novel interventions tailored to patient needs.
