Gene: NMNAT1
Official Full Name: nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes a key step in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The encoded enzyme is one of several nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferases, and is specifically localized to the cell nucleus. Activity of this protein leads to the activation of a nuclear deacetylase that functions in the protection of damaged neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Leber congenital amaurosis 9. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 14, and 15. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

NMNAT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precision-engineered cellular models designed to facilitate advanced research into the functional implications of the NMNAT1 gene in various biological processes. NMNAT1 (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Adenylyl Transferase 1) is crucial for NAD+ biosynthesis and plays a significant role in maintaining cellular energy metabolism and overall cellular health. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers are able to explore the phenotypic consequences of NMNAT1 deficiency, providing insights into diseases associated with NAD+ metabolism, such as neurodegeneration and metabolic disorders.
These knockout cell lines function by utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology to render the NMNAT1 gene inactive, allowing for the examination of how the loss of this enzyme affects cell viability, proliferation, and metabolic pathways. This mechanistic understanding is invaluable in both academic and clinical research, as it helps unravel the intricate relationships between NAD+ levels and various cellular functions, including apoptosis, DNA repair, and signal transduction.
The NMNAT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer substantial advantages over other experimental models, such as transient knockdown systems or pharmacologic inhibition. They provide stable, repeatable data across various applications, including drug screening, metabolic studies, and genetic interaction assays. Researchers benefit from enhanced reproducibility and the ability to perform long-term studies without the variability often associated with transient expression techniques.
These cell lines are particularly valuable for researchers in the fields of metabolic and neurobiological research, as they offer a robust platform for investigating therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring NAD+ levels. The potential for novel drug targets and therapeutic strategies stemming from insights gained using these models highlights their importance in translational research.
