Gene: PEX16
Official Full Name: peroxisomal biogenesis factor 16provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an integral peroxisomal membrane protein. An inactivating nonsense mutation localized to this gene was observed in a patient with Zellweger syndrome of the complementation group CGD/CG9. Expression of this gene product morphologically and biochemically restores the formation of new peroxisomes, suggesting a role in peroxisome organization and biogenesis. Alternative splicing has been observed for this gene and two variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PEX16 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines developed for the functional study of PEX16, a gene that plays a critical role in peroxisome biogenesis. Peroxisomes are vital organelles involved in lipid metabolism and the detoxification of reactive oxygen species, and PEX16 is essential for the formation and maintenance of these structures. The knockout of this gene enables researchers to investigate the downstream effects of PEX16 deficiency, which is significant in understanding various metabolic disorders associated with peroxisome dysfunction.
These cell lines utilize CRISPR/Cas9 technology for precise and efficient genome editing, ensuring that the PEX16 gene is completely inactivated. This provides a powerful tool for elucidating the mechanism by which PEX16 contributes to peroxisome formation and function. In addition to aiding fundamental research into cellular metabolism, these knockouts have far-reaching implications in clinical settings, especially in understanding diseases such as Zellweger syndrome and other peroxisomal biogenesis disorders.
Compared to traditional methods of gene knockout, including homologous recombination and RNA interference, the use of CRISPR/Cas9 in PEX16 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offers greater specificity and efficiency. Researchers benefit from a rapid establishment of stable knockout cell models, significantly accelerating investigation timelines and facilitating high-throughput screening.
The value of the PEX16 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond basic research; they enable the exploration of potential therapeutic interventions for peroxisomal disorders, making them an essential asset for both academic and clinical laboratories. Our extensive experience in genetic engineering and commitment to quality ensures that these cell lines are optimized for reproducibility and reliability, thereby supporting researchers in their quest for groundbreaking discoveries in the field of cell biology and genetics.
