Gene: NEU1
Official Full Name: neuraminidase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal enzyme that cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from substrates such as glycoproteins and glycolipids. In the lysosome, this enzyme is part of a heterotrimeric complex together with beta-galactosidase and cathepsin A (the latter is also referred to as 'protective protein'). Mutations in this gene can lead to sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease that can be type 1 (cherry red spot-myoclonus syndrome or normosomatic type), which is late-onset, or type 2 (the dysmorphic type), which occurs at an earlier age with increased severity.

NEU1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models that specifically lack the expression of the NEU1 gene, which encodes for a sialidase enzyme implicated in the removal of sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids. These cell lines serve as powerful tools for studying the functional roles of sialic acid modifications in various biological processes, including cell signaling, immune response, and apoptosis. By providing a controlled environment where the effects of NEU1 deficiency can be observed, researchers can dissect the underlying mechanisms by which sialylation influences cellular behavior.
The elimination of the NEU1 gene results in altered glycosylation patterns, leading to changes in cellular interactions and signaling pathways. This mechanistic understanding is crucial for deciphering the complexities of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes, where aberrant sialylation is often implicated. Applications of NEU1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extend to drug discovery, biomarker identification, and therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating sialic acid metabolism.
Compared to traditional cell lines, these knockout models provide a more accurate representation of disease states related to NEU1 dysfunction. They offer unique advantages, including enhanced specificity in experimental outcomes, the ability to conduct dose-response studies with targeted therapies, and the reduction of confounding effects associated with variable gene expression. Moreover, these cell lines can be readily adapted to high-throughput screening platforms, making them invaluable for pharmaceutical research.
For researchers and clinicians focused on the cutting-edge study of glycosylation, the NEU1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are essential for elucidating the role of sialic acids in health and disease.
