Gene: PDP1
Official Full Name: pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase catalytic subunit 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) is one of the three components (E1, E2, and E3) of the large pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases catalyze phosphorylation of serine residues of E1 to inactivate the E1 component and inhibit the complex. Pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatases catalyze the dephosphorylation and activation of the E1 component to reverse the effects of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases. Pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase is a heterodimer consisting of catalytic and regulatory subunits. Two catalytic subunits have been reported; one is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and another one is is much more abundant in the liver. The catalytic subunit, encoded by this gene, is the former, and belongs to the protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) superfamily. Along with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases, this enzyme is located in the mitochondrial matrix. Mutation in this gene causes pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

PDP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines designed to functionally assess the role of the PDP1 gene, which encodes pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase 1, in cellular metabolism and signaling. By employing the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of the PDP1 gene, enabling researchers to investigate its influence on cellular processes such as energy homeostasis, apoptosis, and metabolic adaptations.
The key mechanism by which these knockout cell lines operate lies in the absence of the PDP1 gene, resulting in disrupted activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. This impairment shifts metabolic pathways toward anaerobic glycolysis rather than aerobic respiration, providing a valuable model to study the metabolic reprogramming associated with various physiological and pathological states, including cancer and metabolic syndromes.
The scientific significance of PDP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is particularly notable in research striving to elucidate the complex metabolic networks underlying diseases. These lines serve as essential tools for drug discovery and development, allowing for high-throughput screening of potential compounds that modulate metabolic pathways influenced by PDP1. Additionally, they have potential clinical implications in understanding conditions like insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders.
What sets PDP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their precise gene editing, ensuring that off-target effects are minimized and that the resulting phenotypes are reliable and reproducible. Furthermore, these lines are developed with comprehensive characterization data, offering assurance regarding their utility in various experimental conditions.
