Gene: PCBD1
Official Full Name: pterin-4 alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase family. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. The encoded protein functions as both a dehydratase involved in tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis, and as a cofactor for HNF1A-dependent transcription. A deficiency of this enzyme leads to hyperphenylalaninemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

PCBD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specialized biological product designed to facilitate the study of the pterin biosynthesis pathway through targeted gene deletion. These cell lines have been engineered using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create precise disruptions in the PCBD1 gene, which encodes an essential protein involved in the metabolism of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). By knocking out this gene, researchers can effectively model conditions associated with BH4 deficiency, allowing for a deeper understanding of its role in neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolic regulation.
The primary function of the PCBD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases linked to impaired pterin metabolism. Researchers can investigate the effects of PCBD1 disruption on cellular processes, such as reactive oxygen species production, amino acid synthesis, and neuronal signaling pathways. These insights are crucial for advancing medical research aimed at developing therapeutic strategies for conditions like hypotonia, motor dysfunction, and certain psychiatric disorders.
In clinical and research settings, these knockout cell lines offer significant advantages over traditional methods, such as transient transfection or RNA interference, which may produce variable outcomes and off-target effects. The stable gene knockout ensures consistent expression profiles and allows for longitudinal studies within a controlled environment. This precision makes PCBD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines invaluable for pharmaceutical research, genetics, and neurobiology applications.
Unique selling points include the ability to uncover intricate biological interactions and pathways that are not easily accessible with alternative models. These cell lines empower researchers and clinicians to conduct targeted experiments with high reproducibility and specificity, ultimately leading to more reliable conclusions.
As a leader in the development of cutting-edge biological tools, our company is committed to advancing scientific knowledge and providing researchers with robust products that enhance experimental precision. PCBD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant contribution to the field of metabolic research, poised to facilitate breakthroughs in understanding diseases linked to pterin metabolism.
