Gene: NAPRT
Official Full Name: nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Nicotinic acid (NA; niacin) is converted by nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT; EC 2.4.2.11) to NA mononucleotide (NaMN), which is then converted to NA adenine dinucleotide (NaAD), and finally to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which serves as a coenzyme in cellular redox reactions and is an essential component of a variety of processes in cellular metabolism including response to stress (Hara et al., 2007).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

NAPRT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines developed to specifically lack the nicotinate adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)-dependent enzyme, nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT). This gene plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) from nicotinic acid, a process essential for cellular metabolism and viability. By creating a knockout model, researchers can investigate the functional implications of NAPRT deficiency on cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, and the overall physiological responses of the cells, providing a powerful tool for understanding metabolic disorders and potential therapeutic targets.
The primary function of NAPRT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to serve as an experimental platform to elucidate the role of NAD+ metabolism in various biological contexts, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and age-related diseases. By having a controlled environment where NAPRT expression is silenced, scientists can manipulate and study the downstream effects on metabolic pathways relevant to energy homeostasis and oxidative stress responses.
The significance of these cell lines extends into both research and clinical settings, where they can be employed to test new pharmacological agents aimed at modulating NAD+ levels or counteracting the effects of NAD+ depletion. As competitive enzyme systems are disrupted in many diseases, NAPRT knockout cell lines represent a unique avenue for drug discovery and understanding the intricacies of NAD+ metabolism.
One of the primary advantages of our NAPRT Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their specificity and reproducibility, allowing researchers to derive consistent results across experiments. When compared to alternative models, such as pharmacological inhibition or transient gene silencing techniques, the knockout cell lines offer a stable and long-term solution for studies that require prolonged observation or chronic treatment conditions.
For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic research and therapeutic development, these cell lines provide indispensable insights into processes that affect health and disease. The ability to dissect the roles and mechanisms of NAD+ metabolism can lead to significant advancements in understanding metabolic dysregulation and finding novel interventions.
