MUTYH Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MUTYH

Official Full Name: mutY DNA glycosylaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a DNA glycosylase involved in oxidative DNA damage repair. The enzyme excises adenine bases from the DNA backbone at sites where adenine is inappropriately paired with guanine, cytosine, or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, a major oxidatively damaged DNA lesion. The protein is localized to the nucleus and mitochondria. This gene product is thought to play a role in signaling apoptosis by the introduction of single-strand breaks following oxidative damage. Mutations in this gene result in heritable predisposition to colorectal cancer, termed MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

Background

MUTYH Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered human cell lines that have undergone targeted gene modification to disrupt the MUTYH gene, which encodes a DNA glycosylase involved in the base excision repair pathway. This product serves as a crucial tool for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) and its role in colorectal cancer predisposition. By enabling researchers to examine the effects of the absence of this key repair enzyme, these cell lines provide a unique platform for investigating the mutagenic consequences of compromised DNA repair.

The key function of MUTYH Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to model the defective DNA repair mechanisms in human cells. Specifically, the knockout of MUTYH leads to elevated levels of oxidative DNA damage, resulting in increased mutagenesis and genomic instability. Researchers can employ these cell lines to assess the therapeutic efficacy of compounds designed to target cells with impaired DNA repair capability or to elucidate the pathological pathways involved in cancer progression.

Scientifically, these cell lines have substantial applications in both basic and applied research. In preclinical studies, they assist in elucidating the relationship between defective DNA repair and cancer development, fostering the discovery of potential therapeutic targets. Clinically, the availability of these cell lines enables the development and testing of novel agents that may selectively kill cancer cells harboring defective repair mechanisms while sparing healthy tissues.

MUTYH Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages over traditional wild-type cell lines, particularly in their ability to replicate specific pathological states associated with human diseases. This unique feature facilitates more accurate modeling of cancer biology and higher predictive validity in drug response studies. Additionally, the rigorous validation and characterization of these cell lines ensure consistency and reliability in experimental results, making them an invaluable resource for researchers and clinicians alike.
