Gene: NAGS
Official Full Name: N-acetylglutamate synthaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The N-acetylglutamate synthase gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the formation of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from glutamate and acetyl coenzyme-A. NAG is a cofactor of carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI), the first enzyme of the urea cycle in mammals. This gene may regulate ureagenesis by altering NAG availability and, thereby, CPSI activity. Deficiencies in N-acetylglutamate synthase have been associated with hyperammonemia.

NAGS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to study the function and regulation of the N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) gene, which plays a crucial role in the urea cycle and ammonia detoxification. These cell lines have been meticulously developed using advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create knockout mutations that effectively silence the NAGS gene, providing researchers with an invaluable tool for elucidating the gene’s biological significance and its implications in metabolic disorders.
The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines involves the targeted disruption of the NAGS gene, leading to a loss of functional protein expression. This allows scientists to investigate downstream metabolic pathways, evaluate cellular responses to altered nutrient conditions, and assess the repercussions of NAGS deficiency on cell survival and proliferation. This deeper understanding is particularly pertinent for research into conditions such as hyperammonemia, where NAGS deficiency can lead to severe clinical manifestations.
In scientific settings, NAGS Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as a vital system for drug discovery and development, as well as for screening potential therapeutic compounds that could compensate for the loss of NAGS function. Their relevance extends to studies on gene therapy, metabolic engineering, and the design of biomarkers for metabolic diseases.
What sets these cell lines apart from conventional models is their specificity and precision; they are optimized to represent human biology more accurately than many existing animal models, ultimately accelerating translational research efforts. Researchers and clinicians benefit from the advanced genetic manipulation capabilities and the reproducibility of results that can be achieved with these cell lines.
