NSDHL Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NSDHL

Official Full Name: NAD(P) dependent 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase NSDHLprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with CHILD syndrome, which is a X-linked dominant disorder of lipid metabolism with disturbed cholesterol biosynthesis, and typically lethal in males. Alternatively spliced transcript variants with differing 5' UTR have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

NSDHL Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pioneering advancement in genetic research and therapeutic development, specifically targeting the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-like enzyme encoded by the NSDHL gene. These cell lines have been meticulously engineered to lack functional NSDHL, creating an invaluable tool for studying the gene's role in cholesterol metabolism, cellular signaling pathways, and disease states such as Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome.

The primary function of NSDHL involves the catalytic reduction of a specific sterol intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, a crucial process for maintaining membrane integrity and cellular function. By knocking out the NSDHL gene, researchers can more accurately assess the biochemical and physiological impacts of disrupted cholesterol synthesis, further elucidating the mechanisms underlying related disorders. The utility of these cell lines extends to drug discovery, enabling scientists to screen for compounds that target pathways influenced by NSDHL activity.

In research and clinical settings, NSDHL Gene Knockout Cell Lines open doors to innovative studies, including metabolic profiling, gene therapy development, and targeted treatments for metabolic disorders. Their unique capability to facilitate high-throughput screening and genome editing experiments significantly enhances their applicability compared to conventional cell lines, which may express confounding variables due to functional NSDHL activity.

The value of these knockout cell lines is underscored by their role in advancing our understanding of lipid metabolism and associated pathologies, making them essential for researchers seeking to elucidate complex biological interactions underlying metabolic diseases. Additionally, the characterisation of these knockout models can provide insights into potential therapeutic targets, further positioning them as critical resources in both academic and pharmaceutical research fields.

With our extensive expertise in developing state-of-the-art biological materials, we are committed to providing high-quality NSDHL Gene Knockout Cell Lines that empower scientists and clinicians alike in their quest for innovation and discovery.
