Gene: NDUFA1
Official Full Name: NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The human NDUFA1 gene codes for an essential component of complex I of the respiratory chain, which transfers electrons from NADH to ubiquinone. It has been noted that the N-terminal hydrophobic domain has the potential to be folded into an alpha-helix spanning the inner mitochondrial membrane with a C-terminal hydrophilic domain interacting with globular subunits of complex I. The highly conserved two-domain structure suggests that this feature is critical for the protein function and might act as an anchor for the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex at the inner mitochondrial membrane. However, the NDUFA1 peptide is one of about 31 components of the "hydrophobic protein" (HP) fraction of complex I which is involved in proton translocation. Thus the NDUFA1 peptide may also participate in that function. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

NDUFA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to silence the expression of the NDUFA1 gene, a critical component of mitochondrial dehydrogenase complex I in the electron transport chain. This innovative product allows researchers to investigate the role of NDUFA1 in cellular respiration, metabolic regulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
The key function of these knockout cell lines is to facilitate studies on metabolic pathways and the bioenergetic profiles of cells lacking NDUFA1. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines effectively disrupt the normal function of the gene, revealing insights into how its absence affects ATP production, reactive oxygen species generation, and overall cellular health. Consequently, they serve as a powerful tool for probing the molecular mechanisms underlying various diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, including neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic syndromes, and cardiovascular diseases.
The scientific importance of NDUFA1 knockout cell lines lies in their broad applicability in both basic and translational research. They can be leveraged in drug development processes, therapeutic interventions, and understanding disease etiology. Additionally, these cell lines are invaluable for screening compounds that may combat mitochondrial dysfunction, giving researchers a robust platform to identify novel therapeutic agents.
Compared to traditional methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference, NDUFA1 knockout cell lines offer a more permanent and specific approach, yielding consistent genetic knockouts suitable for long-term studies. They also eliminate off-target effects commonly observed with other techniques, thereby enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes.
