LPCAT4 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: LPCAT4

Official Full Name: lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 4provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Members of the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51) family, such as AGPAT7, catalyze the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA), a precursor in the biosynthesis of all glycerolipids. Both LPA and PA are involved in signal transduction (Ye et al., 2005 [PubMed 16243729]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2008]

Background

LPCAT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered cellular models that have been developed to study the biological implications of the LPCAT4 gene, which encodes a key enzyme involved in the regulation of lysophosphatidylcholine metabolism. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of the LPCAT4 gene, enabling researchers to investigate the functional consequences of LPCAT4 loss in various biological processes, including lipid metabolism, cell signaling, and membrane dynamics.

The primary mechanism through which LPCAT4 operates involves the acylation of lysophosphatidylcholine, which significantly impacts membrane composition and stability. Disruption of LPCAT4 can lead to altered lipid profiles, making these cell lines invaluable for elucidating pathways associated with metabolic diseases and cancer. Due to their capacity to mimic the LPCAT4-deficient conditions, these knockout cell lines provide unique in vitro models for studying pathophysiological processes and screening potential therapeutic agents.

The scientific importance of LPCAT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in both research and clinical settings, where they can aid in understanding diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancers linked to abnormal lipid metabolism. Utilizing these models allows for a more in-depth exploration of disease mechanisms and the development of targeted interventions.

Compared to other models that may only partially mimic gene activity, our LPCAT4 knockout cell lines offer a complete genetic disruption that ensures consistent and reliable results, without the noise introduced by residual gene expression. This specificity enhances the relevance of experimental findings, making them more applicable to real-world clinical scenarios.

For researchers and clinicians focused on lipid metabolism and disease, our LPCAT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical tool, enabling deeper insights into the role of this gene in health and disease. As a company with robust expertise in producing high-quality biological products, we are committed to advancing scientific knowledge and enabling groundbreaking research through innovative model systems.
