Gene: MGAT1
Official Full Name: alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: There are believed to be over 100 different glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of protein-bound and lipid-bound oligosaccharides. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:alpha-3-D-mannoside beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I is a medial-Golgi enzyme essential for the synthesis of hybrid and complex N-glycans. The protein, encoded by a single exon, shows typical features of a type II transmembrane protein. The protein is believed to be essential for normal embryogenesis. Several variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

MGAT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models generated to study the biological functions and implications of the MGAT1 gene, which encodes the enzyme, alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 1,2-alpha-mannosidase I. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines exhibit complete knockout of the MGAT1 gene, enabling researchers to investigate the gene's involvement in glycoprotein maturation and the broader implications of glycosylation processes in various biological contexts.
The primary function of MGAT1 lies in its role in the N-glycan biosynthetic pathway, particularly in modifying glycoproteins during post-translational modifications. In MGAT1 knockout cell lines, these downstream glycosylation events are decisively impacted, allowing researchers to elucidate the functional consequences of altered glycosylation patterns in processes such as cell signaling, immune response, and cancer progression. These insights have significant applicability in both fundamental research and therapeutic development.
The scientific importance of MGAT1 knockout cell lines underscores their utility in various research and clinical settings, particularly in cancer biology, immunology, and genetic disorders where glycosylation abnormalities are prevalent. By providing a targeted approach to dissect glycoprotein functions, these cell lines facilitate mechanistic studies and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
Compared to alternative models, MGAT1 knockout cell lines offer enhanced specificity and reliability, minimizing off-target effects commonly seen with less refined genetic manipulation techniques. Additionally, these cell lines can be rapidly adapted to various cellular environments, providing researchers with significant flexibility for experimental design.
For researchers and clinicians focused on the molecular underpinnings of disease or biotherapeutic development, the value of MGAT1 gene knockout cell lines cannot be overstated. They represent a powerful tool in dissecting complex biological systems and advancing our understanding of glycosylation-related pathologies.
