Gene: PANK1
Official Full Name: pantothenate kinase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the pantothenate kinase family. Pantothenate kinases are key regulatory enzymes in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA). The encoded protein catalyzes the first and rate-limiting enzymatic reaction in CoA biosynthesis and is regulated by CoA through feedback inhibition. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. This gene and an intronic miRNA on the same strand are co-regulated by the tumor suppressor p53 (see PMID 20833636). [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]

PANK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cell lines in which the PANK1 gene has been deliberately disrupted or "knocked out" using advanced genome-editing technologies. This targeted modification allows researchers to investigate the specific roles that PANK1 plays in cellular metabolism, particularly in the synthesis of coenzyme A—a vital cofactor involved in several metabolic pathways. By eliminating the function of PANK1, these cell lines create a unique model to study the consequences of disrupted coenzyme A synthesis on cellular physiology, signaling pathways, and disease mechanisms.
The key functions of PANK1 within the cell include its involvement in the regulation of metabolic processes and energy homeostasis. The PANK1 enzyme catalyzes the first step in coenzyme A biosynthesis, making it central to fatty acid metabolism and energy production. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can explore how altered PANK1 expression affects lipid metabolism, cellular proliferation, and apoptosis, leading to potential insights into metabolic disorders and conditions such as obesity or diabetes.
Scientific importance is underscored by the potential applications of PANK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines in drug discovery and therapeutic development. These models facilitate the screening of compounds that can modulate metabolic pathways for treating metabolic diseases. Additionally, they can be utilized to identify biomarkers for disease progression or target validation in pharmaceutical research.
Compared to traditional cell lines, the PANK1 knockout cell lines offer unparalleled specificity for studying the effects of PANK1 deficiency, providing researchers with a powerful tool to probe the intricacies of metabolic regulation. Furthermore, they can serve as high-fidelity models that reduce the variability often seen in less targeted approaches.
In summary, PANK1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines deliver significant value to researchers and clinicians alike by providing a precise experimental model to elucidate the biochemical implications of PANK1 in energy metabolism.
