Gene: MTRFR
Official Full Name: mitochondrial translation release factor in rescueprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial matrix protein that appears to contribute to peptide chain termination in the mitochondrial translation machinery. Two different 1 bp deletions (resulting in the same premature stop codon)result in decreased mitochondrial translation, decreased levels of oxidative phosphorylation complexes and encepthalomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

MTRFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models designed to enable researchers to study the functional role of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in various biological processes. This gene is vital for folate metabolism, playing a crucial role in generating the active form of folate necessary for DNA synthesis and repair. The knockout of MTHFR provides a unique opportunity to investigate the gene's influence on critical pathways, including those related to health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and developmental disorders.
These knockout cell lines function through the targeted deletion of the MTHFR gene, achieved using precise gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 or homologous recombination. By removing this gene, researchers can observe and measure the consequential changes in cellular metabolism and gene expression, allowing for a deeper understanding of folate-related pathways.
The scientific importance of MTRFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic and applied research. In clinical settings, understanding MTHFR's role can lead to better diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for managing conditions associated with folate metabolism abnormalities. In research contexts, these cell lines facilitate high-throughput screening, allowing scientists to explore novel drugs or interventions that target folate metabolism.
What sets MTRFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional cell models is their specificity and fidelity to human physiology. Unlike standard cell lines that may not accurately mimic the biological impacts of gene alterations, these knockout lines provide a more reliable platform for translational research. Moreover, they allow for the examination of genotype-phenotype relationships, vital for personalized medicine approaches.
For researchers and clinicians alike, these knockout cell lines offer high-value insights that can significantly advance the understanding of MTHFR's biological roles, ultimately contributing to more informed treatment decisions and therapeutic advancements.
