Gene: OGG1
Official Full Name: 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for the excision of 8-oxoguanine, a mutagenic base byproduct which occurs as a result of exposure to reactive oxygen. The action of this enzyme includes lyase activity for chain cleavage. Alternative splicing of the C-terminal region of this gene classifies splice variants into two major groups, type 1 and type 2, depending on the last exon of the sequence. Type 1 alternative splice variants end with exon 7 and type 2 end with exon 8. All variants share the N-terminal region in common, which contains a mitochondrial targeting signal that is essential for mitochondrial localization. Many alternative splice variants for this gene have been described, but the full-length nature for every variant has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

OGG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines in which the 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1) gene has been selectively disrupted, resulting in the loss of its function. This product is pivotal for researchers investigating the biological significance of OGG1 in DNA repair mechanisms, oxidative stress response, and cellular senescence. By eliminating the role of OGG1, these cell lines serve as a model to study the repercussions of impaired base excision repair, ultimately enhancing our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
The key function of OGG1 involves the recognition and removal of 8-oxoguanine, a common form of oxidative DNA damage that, if left unrepaired, can lead to mutagenesis and genomic instability. The OGG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines facilitate the examination of how the absence of this critical DNA repair enzyme affects cellular behavior, gene expression patterns, and overall cellular integrity when exposed to oxidative stress. By employing these cell lines in high-throughput screenings or therapeutic development, researchers can elucidate the pathways involved in DNA damage responses and devise potential interventions.
From a scientific perspective, these knockout cell lines are invaluable tools in both basic and applied research. They are particularly beneficial in preclinical settings where understanding oxidative DNA damage repair is crucial for the development of targeted therapies and the evaluation of potential drug candidates that may enhance cellular resilience against oxidative stress. Notably, these cell lines offer advantages over alternatives, such as traditional wild-type lines, by providing a targeted platform to explore specific genetic modifications without the confounding effects of other variables.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the OGG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant step forward in dissecting the complexities of DNA repair mechanisms and their implications in health and disease. By integrating these innovative models into their studies, scientists can unlock new insights that may lead to breakthroughs in therapeutic strategies.
