Gene: PDHB

Official Full Name: pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit betaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide, and provides the primary link between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The PDH complex is composed of multiple copies of three enzymatic components: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). The E1 enzyme is a heterotetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits. This gene encodes the E1 beta subunit. Mutations in this gene are associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-beta deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Background

PDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines designed to specifically disrupt the expression of the pyruvate dehydrogenase beta (PDHB) gene. This gene plays a pivotal role in cellular metabolism, particularly in the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, thus linking glycolysis to the Krebs cycle. The knockout of PDHB facilitates the study of metabolic shifts in cells and allows researchers to explore the consequences of altered energy production pathways, especially in the context of various diseases including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.

The primary function of PDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to enable the detailed investigation of mitochondrial dysfunction and the metabolic reprogramming that occurs in various pathophysiological conditions. By utilizing these cell lines, researchers can assess the downstream effects of PDHB loss, including alterations in energy metabolism, cell proliferation rates, and the cellular response to stress. This provides critical insights into the metabolic adaptations that occur during disease progression and treatment responses.

In the realm of scientific research, these cell lines are invaluable tools in elucidating the role of PDHB in metabolic diseases, thereby contributing to the broader understanding of cellular physiology and pathology. Clinically, they offer potential for the development of targeted therapies that aim to restore normal metabolic function or to strategically exploit metabolic weaknesses present in specific diseases.

Compared to traditional cell models, PDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced specificity and relevance in metabolic studies due to their targeted genetic modifications. This specificity allows for more accurate modeling of disease states, potentially leading to more effective therapeutic strategies. Additionally, using knockout models can expedite the drug discovery process by providing a clearer understanding of target interactions and bioenergetic responses.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the value of PDHB Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications. By facilitating the discovery of biomarkers and therapeutic targets, these cell lines are essential for advancing personalized medicine approaches.
