Gene: ODC1
Official Full Name: ornithine decarboxylase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway which catalyzes ornithine to putrescine. The activity level for the enzyme varies in response to growth-promoting stimuli and exhibits a high turnover rate in comparison to other mammalian proteins. Originally localized to both chromosomes 2 and 7, the gene encoding this enzyme has been determined to be located on 2p25, with a pseudogene located on 7q31-qter. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

ODC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines engineered to lack the expression of the ornithine decarboxylase 1 (ODC1) gene, a critical enzyme involved in polyamine biosynthesis. Polyamines play pivotal roles in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, which makes ODC1 a significant target for research focused on cancer progression, cell proliferation, and metabolic disorders. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can directly investigate the physiological and pathological relevance of ODC1 in various biological processes.
The key function of ODC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stems from their unique ability to enable the study of cellular mechanisms where ODC1 is absent. With the ODC1 enzyme knocked out, researchers can readily explore the resulting changes in polyamine levels, cellular growth kinetics, and gene expression profiles. This provides invaluable insight into how ODC1 influences cellular functions and its potential as a therapeutic target. By employing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, these cell lines are designed to ensure precise and efficient gene disruption, making them a powerful tool for molecular biology research.
The scientific importance of ODC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to various applications in both preclinical and clinical settings. They can be employed in toxicology studies to assess the effects of compounds that modulate polyamine metabolism, contribute to pharmacological research aimed at developing new cancer therapeutics, and facilitate the understanding of metabolic dysregulation in diseases such as neurodegeneration and cardiovascular disorders. Furthermore, these cell lines allow for the examination of the role of ODC1 in response to stress signals or during development, providing a comprehensive platform for biological research.
Compared to alternative models, ODC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer an unparalleled fidelity of genetic modification, reduced variability in experimental outcomes, and the potential for high-throughput applications. These advantages make them an essential resource for researchers looking to elucidate the complex roles of polyamines in health and disease without the background noise seen in models that retain functional ODC1.
In conclusion, ODC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable asset for scientists and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of polyamine-related processes. With our company's expertise in developing advanced cell line models, we are committed to providing high-quality, reliable tools that empower researchers to uncover new scientific knowledge and therapeutic avenues in the pursuit of innovative biological solutions.
