MDH1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MDH1

Official Full Name: malate dehydrogenase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the NAD/NADH-dependent, reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate in many metabolic pathways, including the citric acid cycle. Two main isozymes are known to exist in eukaryotic cells: one is found in the mitochondrial matrix and the other in the cytoplasm. This gene encodes the cytosolic isozyme, which plays a key role in the malate-aspartate shuttle that allows malate to pass through the mitochondrial membrane to be transformed into oxaloacetate for further cellular processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. A recent study showed 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. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes X and 6. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Background

MDH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a cutting-edge biological tool designed to facilitate in-depth studies of the malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) gene's role in cellular metabolism and various disease processes. These cell lines are engineered via CRISPR-Cas9 technology, resulting in targeted disruptions of the MDH1 gene that allows researchers to observe the resultant phenotypic changes in metabolic pathways and cellular behavior.

The key function of MDH1 is to catalyze the conversion of malate to oxaloacetate, playing a critical role in the citric acid cycle and influencing cellular energy production. By utilizing the MDH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can investigate the downstream effects of MDH1 disruption on metabolic flux and identify compensatory mechanisms employed by cells when faced with reduced malate dehydrogenase activity. This model is particularly valuable for studying metabolic disorders, cancer metabolism, and other conditions where energy homeostasis is disrupted.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their versatile applications in both basic research and clinical settings, serving as a platform for drug screening, biomarker discovery, and understanding the molecular underpinnings of various pathologies. Compared to traditional knockout models, MDH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a highly precise and efficient method for gene editing, resulting in reproducible and reliable experimental results.

The unique selling points of these cell lines lie in their specificity and ease of use, alongside comprehensive support documentation and protocols from our experienced team. Researchers benefit significantly from the accelerated timelines of experiments, minimizing the time it takes to derive insights from their studies.

In conclusion, MDH1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an invaluable asset for researchers and clinicians seeking to enhance their understanding of metabolic functions and related disease mechanisms.
