Gene: PEMT
Official Full Name: phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most abundant mammalian phospholipid. This gene encodes an enzyme which converts phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine by sequential methylation in the liver. Another distinct synthetic pathway in nucleated cells converts intracellular choline to phosphatidylcholine by a three-step process. The protein isoforms encoded by this gene localize to the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria-associated membranes. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

PEMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) gene, which plays a crucial role in phospholipid metabolism. By utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines exhibit complete knockout of the PEMT gene, allowing researchers to investigate the biological consequences associated with its loss of function.
The primary function of PEMT involves the biosynthesis of phosphocholine through S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation, a pathway integral to hepatic lipid metabolism and cellular membrane integrity. In PEMT knockout models, researchers can observe the downstream effects on lipid homeostasis, liver function, and potential impacts on metabolic disorders such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular diseases. This knockout approach enables an in-depth exploration of the gene's role in health and disease, providing insights that are critical for understanding its implications in therapeutic contexts.
Scientifically, PEMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold significant importance in both research and clinical applications. They serve as essential tools for examining the molecular pathways influenced by altered phosphatidylcholine synthesis and its implications on cellular signaling and disease states. Researchers investigating lipid metabolism, as well as those developing targeted therapies for metabolic diseases, will find these models indispensable.
One key advantage of our PEMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their reproducibility and reliability compared to traditional knockout methods, such as homologous recombination. This precision in editing enhances the consistency of experimental results, allowing for robust data collection and analysis. Moreover, our innovative approach minimizes off-target effects, ensuring that researchers can confidently attribute observed phenotypic changes to the specific knockout of the PEMT gene.
For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic health or those involved in drug development, these cell lines represent a valuable resource. They can significantly accelerate the discovery and validation of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with lipid metabolism disorders.
With years of expertise in developing high-quality biological models, our company is dedicated to advancing research and facilitating groundbreaking discoveries in the field of metabolic health. Our PEMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a testament to this commitment, offering a powerful tool for deeper biological insights and innovative therapeutic strategies.
