NANS Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NANS

Official Full Name: N-acetylneuraminate synthaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme that functions in the biosynthetic pathways of sialic acids. In vitro, the encoded protein uses N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate and mannose 6-phosphate as substrates to generate phosphorylated forms of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononic acid (KDN), respectively; however, it exhibits much higher activity toward the Neu5Ac phosphate product. In insect cells, expression of this gene results in Neu5Ac and KDN production. This gene is related to the E. coli sialic acid synthase gene neuB, and it can partially restore sialic acid synthase activity in an E. coli neuB-negative mutant. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

NANS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to investigate the functional role of the NANS gene, which is critical for the biosynthesis of sialic acids, essential components that play pivotal roles in cellular interactions, signaling, and overall cellular health. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology for precise gene editing, these cell lines exhibit complete disruption of the NANS gene, allowing researchers to study the downstream effects of its absence in a controlled environment.

The primary function of the NANS Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate investigations into the physiological and pathological implications of sialic acid deficiencies. Mechanistically, the knockout of the NANS gene impacts sialylation processes, which can alter cell communication, immune responses, and the development of various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. This makes these cell lines invaluable for elucidating the molecular pathways influenced by sialic acids and their associated roles in health and disease.

From a scientific perspective, NANS Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide robust platforms for basic research and the development of therapeutic strategies. Researchers can leverage these models to assess drug responses, investigate gene function, and explore gene-gene interactions within complex biological systems. The cell lines also have significant implications in clinical settings, as understanding sialic acid biology can lead to novel biomarkers and targeted therapies for sialic acid-related disorders.
