MAT1A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MAT1A

Official Full Name: methionine adenosyltransferase 1Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene catalyzes a two-step reaction that involves the transfer of the adenosyl moiety of ATP to methionine to form S-adenosylmethionine and tripolyphosphate, which is subsequently cleaved to PPi and Pi. S-adenosylmethionine is the source of methyl groups for most biological methylations. The encoded protein is found as a homotetramer (MAT I) or a homodimer (MAT III) whereas a third form, MAT II (gamma), is encoded by the MAT2A gene. Mutations in this gene are associated with methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

MAT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a groundbreaking tool in molecular biology designed to facilitate the study of the methionine adenosyltransferase 1A (MAT1A) gene's role in cellular metabolism. By leveraging CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these engineered cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of MAT1A, allowing scientists to investigate the gene's functions and its implications in disease mechanisms and metabolic disorders. MAT1A is integral in the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a crucial methyl donor involved in numerous biological processes, including gene regulation and lipid metabolism.

The primary mechanism underlying these knockout cell lines involves the disruption of MAT1A gene expression, resulting in decreased levels of SAM. This reduction is significant for researchers studying metabolic pathways and disease processes, as many conditions, including liver diseases and certain cancers, have been associated with altered methionine metabolism. With these cell lines, researchers can simulate specific physiological conditions and better understand the biochemical ramifications of MAT1A depletion on cellular health and disease states.

The scientific importance of MAT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond pure research. They hold potential applications in drug development, metabolic engineering, and personalized medicine by enabling the identification of therapeutic targets and biomarkers linked to altered SAM metabolism.

What distinguishes our MAT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines from alternatives on the market is the assurance of high specificity and efficiency in gene disruption, alongside rigorous quality controls that guarantee reproducibility and reliability in experiments.
