PEPD Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PEPD

Official Full Name: peptidase Dprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the peptidase family. The protein forms a homodimer that hydrolyzes dipeptides or tripeptides with C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline residues. The enzyme serves an important role in the recycling of proline, and may be rate limiting for the production of collagen. Mutations in this gene result in prolidase deficiency, which is characterized by the excretion of large amount of di- and tri-peptides containing proline. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Background

PEPD Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced, genetically engineered cell models specifically designed to facilitate the study of the prolyl endopeptidase (PEPD) gene and its associated pathways. These cell lines have had the PEPD gene systematically disrupted through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, allowing researchers to investigate the impact of this gene on cellular functionality, signaling processes, and overall physiological responses. By enabling precise gene knockout, these models serve as invaluable tools in elucidating the roles of PEPD in various biological contexts, including immunology, neurobiology, and metabolic studies.

The primary mechanism of action resides in the targeted gene disruption that leads to the loss of function of PEPD. As a serine protease, PEPD modulates the bioactivity of various neuropeptides and other regulatory proteins by cleaving specific peptide bonds. Understanding the consequences of PEPD deficiency through these knockout models allows for the detailed exploration of its contributions to disease states, such as neurodegeneration and metabolic disorders, significantly advancing the scientific community’s knowledge in these areas.

In a clinical research setting, PEPD Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their established reproducibility and reliability, making them superior to traditional methods such as RNA interference (RNAi) which can exhibit off-target effects. Additionally, they offer the potential for high-throughput screening applications, significantly accelerating the drug discovery process while reducing associated costs. This precision contributes directly to the validity of experimental results, empowering researchers and clinicians with more reliable data for therapeutic development.

Moreover, these knockout models enhance the advancement of personalized medicine approaches, offering insights that could tailor treatments based on genetic profiles. With a growing emphasis on genetic factors in therapeutic efficacy, the ability to study the PEPD gene’s implications offers unique opportunities for innovative clinical applications.
