OAT Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: OAT

Official Full Name: ornithine aminotransferaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, which is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Background

OAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to study the implications of the OAT (Ornithine Aminotransferase) gene's absence. These knockout cell lines are created using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which facilitates targeted gene editing to ensure the precise disruption of the OAT gene. By removing this gene, researchers gain a valuable platform for assessing its biological functions in various metabolic pathways, particularly those relating to ureagenesis and amino acid metabolism.

The key mechanism behind OAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the physiological consequences of OAT deficiency. This cellular model readily demonstrates the downstream effects of impaired ornithine metabolism, providing insights into disorders such as hyperornithinemia and its associated clinical manifestations. Researchers can employ these knockout lines to conduct experiments elucidating the role of OAT in cellular homeostasis, ultimately facilitating a better understanding of metabolic diseases.

The scientific importance of OAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is profound. They are invaluable tools in both fundamental research and clinical settings, enabling the examination of potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders. Additionally, these cell lines allow for high-throughput screening of compounds that could restore OAT function or mitigate the effects of its absence, paving the way for innovative treatment strategies.

Compared to other models, OAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide several advantages. Their specificity in targeting the OAT gene increases relevance in metabolic research, while their robust and reproducible nature ensures consistent results across experiments. This specificity reduces the variability often seen in non-targeted systems, making them more reliable for experimental applications.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the value of OAT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is unequivocal. Their use can enhance discovery processes related to metabolic conditions, enabling studies that drive breakthroughs in patient care and treatment. Furthermore, they represent a critical step towards personalized medicine by providing a basis for understanding individual metabolic profiles.
