Gene: PDSS1
Official Full Name: decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that elongates the prenyl side-chain of coenzyme Q, or ubiquinone, one of the key elements in the respiratory chain. The gene product catalyzes the formation of all trans-polyprenyl pyrophosphates from isopentyl diphosphate in the assembly of polyisoprenoid side chains, the first step in coenzyme Q biosynthesis. The protein may be peripherally associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, though no transit peptide has been definitively identified to date. Defects in this gene are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PDSS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to eliminate the function of the PDSS1 gene, which encodes an enzyme critical for the biosynthesis of ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10). By employing CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines provide a robust platform for studying the intracellular pathways associated with mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation. The knockout of the PDSS1 gene results in a reduced synthesis of ubiquinone, enabling researchers to investigate the resultant metabolic alterations, cellular stress responses, and effects on energy production.
The primary function of PDSS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to facilitate the dissection of the PDSS1 gene's role in cellular homeostasis and its impact on various diseases, particularly those related to mitochondrial dysfunction, such as neurodegenerative disorders and cardiomyopathies. These models serve as an invaluable tool for pharmacological studies, allowing for the assessment of potential therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring ubiquinone levels and improving mitochondrial efficiency.
Unlike traditional cell lines, PDSS1 knockout variants offer a more precise and controlled means of studying gene function and drug responses. Their ability to mimic pathological conditions in vitro provides unparalleled insights that could lead to breakthroughs in understanding disease mechanisms and treatment strategies. Moreover, cells lacking PDSS1 allow for the exploration of compensatory metabolic pathways, thus revealing novel targets for drug design.
Researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies will find these knockout cell lines indispensable for advancing our understanding of cellular bioenergetics and the role of mitochondria in health and disease. With an experienced team dedicated to biotechnological innovation, our company stands at the forefront of developing cutting-edge tools that empower scientific discovery and drive impactful research in the life sciences.
