NDUFAF1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NDUFAF1

Official Full Name: NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a complex I assembly factor protein. Complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) in the first step of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, resulting in the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The encoded protein is required for assembly of complex I, and mutations in this gene are a cause of mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 19. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

Background

NDUFAF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically devised to investigate the physiological and pathological roles of the NDUFAF1 gene, which plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function. This gene encodes a protein that is integral to the assembly of mitochondrial Complex I, a crucial component of the electron transport chain responsible for ATP production. By knocking out the NDUFAF1 gene, researchers can create a cellular environment that mimics the mitochondrial dysfunction seen in various diseases, providing a valuable platform for in-depth studies of bioenergetics and cellular metabolism.

The functionality of these knockout cell lines is rooted in their ability to exhibit significant phenotypic alterations, including reduced cellular respiration and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, which are hallmarks of compromised mitochondrial activity. Researchers can utilize these characteristics to unravel the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes, thus facilitating advancements in therapeutic strategies.

The scientific importance of NDUFAF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in drug screening and the development of gene therapies, as they provide insights into potential interventions that can restore mitochondrial function. In clinical research settings, these cell lines are invaluable for developing pharmacological agents that target mitochondrial pathways, making them relevant for both academia and the pharmaceutical industry.

One of the significant advantages of our NDUFAF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their exceptional reliability and reproducibility, stemming from rigorous validation processes. Unlike alternative models, these cell lines allow for the precise manipulation of mitochondrial dynamics in a controlled laboratory setting, resulting in consistent and interpretable data. This precision is essential for researchers aiming to draw concrete conclusions from their experiments.

Our NDUFAF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an indispensable tool for researchers and clinicians exploring mitochondrial pathophysiology, offering a unique opportunity to elucidate complex cellular mechanisms. With a commitment to advancing scientific inquiry, our company prides itself on delivering high-quality biological products that foster innovation in research and therapeutic development.
