Gene: PEX13
Official Full Name: peroxisomal biogenesis factor 13provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a peroxisomal membrane protein that binds the type 1 peroxisomal targeting signal receptor via a SH3 domain located in the cytoplasm. Mutations and deficiencies in peroxisomal protein importing and peroxisome assembly lead to peroxisomal biogenesis disorders, an example of which is Zellweger syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

PEX13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the PEX13 gene, which encodes a crucial component of the peroxisomal biogenesis machinery. Peroxisomes are organelles involved in lipid metabolism and the breakdown of toxic substances, making PEX13 integral to maintaining cellular homeostasis. The knockout of this gene impairs normal peroxisome function, providing a powerful tool for studying peroxisomal diseases and their underlying mechanisms.
These cell lines operate by utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology for precise gene editing, allowing researchers to observe the resultant phenotypic changes in lipid metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) handling. This mechanistic understanding highlights the role of PEX13 in various metabolic pathways, particularly in relation to peroxisomal disorders such as Zellweger syndrome and adrenoleukodystrophy. The ability to study the effects of PEX13 disruption offers crucial insights into disease pathology, potentially leading to novel therapeutic avenues.
In research and clinical settings, the value of PEX13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is significant. They facilitate the discovery of new drug targets and therapeutic agents aimed at correcting peroxisomal dysfunctions. Compared to traditional models, these knockout cell lines provide a more relevant and targeted approach by mimicking genetic mutations and their consequences found in human diseases. Their reactivity to different environmental conditions also supports the design of high-throughput drug screening assays.
Researchers and clinicians will find these cell lines indispensable for advancing their understanding of peroxisomal biology and the therapeutic potential for associated conditions.
