Gene: P4HA1
Official Full Name: prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a component of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, a key enzyme in collagen synthesis composed of two identical alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The encoded protein is one of several different types of alpha subunits and provides the major part of the catalytic site of the active enzyme. In collagen and related proteins, prolyl 4-hydroxylase catalyzes the formation of 4-hydroxyproline that is essential to the proper three-dimensional folding of newly synthesized procollagen chains. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

P4HA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that facilitate the study of the prolyl 4-hydroxylase alpha subunit 1 (P4HA1) gene, a crucial component in the collagen biosynthetic pathway. By strategically deleting the P4HA1 gene, these cell lines allow researchers to investigate the functional role of this gene in various biological processes, including extracellular matrix production, cellular response to hypoxia, and implications in fibrosis. These knockout models exhibit alterations in collagen stability and metabolism, providing an invaluable tool for understanding disease mechanisms in connective tissue disorders and tissue repair.
The mechanisms at play in these knockout cell lines involve the disruption of the hydroxylation of proline residues in collagen precursors, a modification essential for collagen triple helix formation. As a result, researchers can directly observe the effects of reduced or absent P4HA1 expression on cellular behaviors, such as proliferation, migration, and differentiation. This insight is particularly significant in the fields of regenerative medicine and cancer research, where aberrations in collagen metabolism are often implicated.
From a scientific perspective, P4HA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are indispensable for elucidating the pathophysiological roles of P4HA1 in various diseases. Their use can accelerate the identification of potential therapeutic targets and help validate drug candidates aimed at modulating collagen dynamics. Compared to traditional wild-type models, these knockout lines provide a more nuanced understanding of gene function, allowing for precise experimental designs that can lead to groundbreaking discoveries.
The value of P4HA1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond their research applications; they offer an efficient and reproducible means of studying fundamental biological processes and disease mechanisms in controlled settings. Researchers and clinicians can expect reliable data that enhances the translational potential of their findings.
