MBOAT1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MBOAT1

Official Full Name: membrane bound glycerophospholipid O-acyltransferase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the membrane-bound O-acetyltransferase superfamily. The encoded transmembrane protein is an enzyme that transfers organic compounds, preferably from oleoyl-CoA, to hydroxyl groups of protein targets in membranes. A translocation disrupting this gene may be associated with brachydactyly syndactyly syndrome. Alternately spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene.

Background

MBOAT1 gene knockout cell lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the MBOAT1 gene, which encodes a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase enzyme involved in glycosphingolipid metabolism. These knockout cell lines are invaluable tools for elucidating the role of MBOAT1 in various cellular processes and its implications in disease states. The absence of MBOAT1 disrupts lipid metabolism pathways, allowing researchers to study the resulting phenotypic changes and their potential effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, and signal transduction.

The key function of MBOAT1 lies in its contribution to the acylation of lipids, which is crucial for maintaining cellular membrane integrity and functionality. By utilizing MBOAT1 knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively model conditions associated with altered lipid metabolism, such as certain types of cancer and metabolic syndromes. These models provide insight into the biochemical pathways influenced by MBOAT1, facilitating the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Scientifically, MBOAT1 knockout cell lines hold immense significance in both basic and translational research, offering innovative platforms for drug discovery and the development of gene therapies. Compared to traditional cell lines, these knockout models present unique advantages, including the ability to observe the direct effects of MBOAT1 loss, which can lead to more accurate research outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of MBOAT1 knockout cell lines lies in their potential to accelerate understanding of lipid-related diseases, enabling the design of targeted interventions and personalized medicine strategies. The specific advantages offered by these cell lines, such as the ability to mimic disease conditions accurately, make them indispensable.
