Gene: NDUFA12
Official Full Name: NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A12provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is part of mitochondrial complex 1, part of the oxidative phosphorylation system in mitochondria. Complex 1 transfers electrons to ubiquinone from NADH which establishes a proton gradient for the generation of ATP. Mutations in this gene are associated with Leigh syndrome due to mitochondrial complex 1 deficiency. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 5 and 13. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

NDUFA12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines designed to explore the biological implications of the NDUFA12 gene, a crucial component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. These cell lines have been specifically engineered to lack functional NDUFA12 protein, enabling researchers to study the effects of its absence on cellular metabolism, bioenergetics, and overall cellular physiology. The NDUFA12 protein plays a pivotal role in facilitating electron transfer and contributing to proton translocation during ATP synthesis in the mitochondria. By knocking out this gene, researchers can investigate pathways influenced by mitochondrial dysfunction, which is linked to various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic syndromes.
The mechanisms underlying the utility of NDUFA12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involve a comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial respiratory function and oxidative stress responses. These cell lines provide a unique platform for in vitro studies to dissect the role of NDUFA12 in mitochondrial integrity, ATP production, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which are critical in understanding the broader context of mitochondrial-related pathologies.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines lies in their applications in fundamental research and clinical settings. They are essential tools for drug discovery, allowing for the screening of therapeutic compounds that may ameliorate mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, their use can yield insights into the development of personalized medicine approaches targeting mitochondrial diseases.
Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type or less specific cell lines, NDUFA12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a tailored approach to studying specific genetic contributions to mitochondrial function. Their targeted genetic modification ensures a more reproducible and relevant biological outcome, thereby yielding reliable data for downstream applications.
For researchers and clinicians, obtaining insights into mitochondrial dynamics and their implications in health and disease makes NDUFA12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines an indispensable resource. They enhance the understanding of mitochondrial biology and provide a strong foundation for innovative therapeutic strategies.
