Gene: NT5E
Official Full Name: 5'-nucleotidase ectoprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a plasma membrane protein that catalyzes the conversion of extracellular nucleotides to membrane-permeable nucleosides. The encoded protein is used as a determinant of lymphocyte differentiation. Defects in this gene can lead to the calcification of joints and arteries. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

NT5E Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the essential NT5E gene, which encodes the enzyme ecto-5'-nucleotidase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the regulation of extracellular nucleotide levels, impacting various physiological processes including immune response, cellular signaling, and tissue homeostasis. By using these knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the specific effects of NT5E deficiency on cell behavior, metabolic pathways, and susceptibility to diseases.
The key function of NT5E Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to permit the detailed study of nucleoside metabolism and purinergic signaling without the confounding effects of the ecto-5'-nucleotidase enzyme. Through these models, scientists can elucidate how altered nucleotide homeostasis influences cancer progression, inflammation, and other pathologies. Moreover, these cell lines are valuable tools for drug development, particularly in designing therapeutics that target purinergic pathways for enhanced treatment efficacy.
From a scientific and clinical perspective, knockouts like the NT5E cell lines play an essential role in revealing the underlying mechanisms of human diseases, contributing to the understanding of therapeutic targets. Unlike traditional cell lines, which may exhibit residual activity from the NT5E enzyme, these knockout models provide a more accurate picture of physiological conditions and disease states.
One significant advantage of NT5E Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity in studying the consequences of complete gene loss, thereby allowing for more precise experimental conditions compared to partial inhibition methods. This specificity provides a clearer insight into the biological functions attributed to the NT5E gene.
For researchers and clinicians, the development of NT5E Gene Knockout Cell Lines represents an invaluable resource, enabling advanced exploration into cellular mechanisms and the development of targeted therapies.
