MTHFR Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MTHFR

Official Full Name: methylenetetrahydrofolate reductaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Genetic variation in this gene influences susceptibility to occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and acute leukemia, and mutations in this gene are associated with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Background

MTHFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered for the study of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), a critical enzyme involved in folate metabolism and the regulation of homocysteine levels in the body. These knockout cell lines are generated through advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which enables precise modification of the MTHFR gene, effectively silencing its expression. By removing the gene’s function, researchers can investigate the biological consequences on cellular metabolism, gene expression profiles, and the pathways associated with various disorders.

The primary function of MTHFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to provide insights into the pathophysiology of diseases linked to altered folate metabolism, such as cardiovascular diseases, neural tube defects, and certain cancers. These cell lines serve as a vital tool for examining how disruptions in MTHFR activity can affect cellular homocysteine levels and related metabolic pathways. Additionally, they enable researchers to assess the impact of pharmacological agents or nutritional supplements designed to modulate MTHFR activity and thus inform clinical strategies for these conditions.

One of the key advantages of utilizing MTHFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reproducibility in experimental setups. Unlike alternative models that may harbor complex genetic backgrounds, these knockout lines provide a defined and consistent system for experimentation. This precision allows for clearer data interpretation and more reliable relationships between experimental conditions and observed effects.

For researchers and clinicians, these cell lines represent a valuable asset for translational research, particularly in devising targeted interventions for diseases associated with MTHFR dysfunction. By understanding the effects of MTHFR deficiency at the cellular level, users can optimize potential therapeutic strategies, contributing to personalized medicine approaches.

At [Your Company], we are committed to advancing scientific knowledge and providing high-quality biological products. Our expertise in gene editing technologies ensures that our MTHFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are crafted with precision, serving as an indispensable resource for researchers aiming to explore the complexities of folate metabolism in health and disease.
