Gene: P4HA3
Official Full Name: prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha 3provided 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

P4HA3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines in which the P4HA3 gene, encoding prolyl 4-hydroxylase alpha subunit 3, has been disrupted to establish a model for studying the biological role of this enzyme in various physiological processes. These cell lines provide a unique platform to examine the implications of collagen synthesis, cellular metabolism, and the hypoxic response, as P4HA3 is integral to the modification of proline residues in collagen and other proteins critical for cellular structural integrity.
The primary function of the P4HA3 enzyme involves the hydroxylation of proline residues in collagen, which is essential for collagen stability and fibrillogenesis. By knocking out this gene, researchers can directly assess the subsequent effects on collagen formation and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, allowing for insights into disorders linked to collagen dysregulation. Additionally, these knockout cell lines serve as powerful tools for understanding the role of P4HA3 in hypoxia-induced signaling pathways, potentially unveiling new mechanisms involved in cancer progression and fibrosis.
The scientific importance of P4HA3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated. They are invaluable in both basic research and translational studies, offering a means to investigate collagen-related pathologies such as osteogenesis imperfecta and fibrotic diseases. In a clinical context, identifying the mechanisms regulated by P4HA3 could lead to new therapeutic targets for conditions characterized by poor collagen deposition or tissue remodeling.
Compared to traditional models, such as wild-type cell lines or other knockout models, the P4HA3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide specificity and precision in targeting the P4HA3 pathway, minimizing off-target effects and enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes. Furthermore, their established genetic background and versatile application potential enable researchers to seamlessly integrate these models into their existing studies.
For researchers and clinicians aiming to elucidate the complex biology surrounding collagen and ECM dynamics, P4HA3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an indispensable resource. When harnessed effectively, they can significantly accelerate the discovery of new biological insights and therapeutic strategies.
