PEX3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PEX3

Official Full Name: peroxisomal biogenesis factor 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The product of this gene is involved in peroxisome biosynthesis and integrity. It assembles membrane vesicles before the matrix proteins are translocated. Peroxins (PEXs) are proteins that are essential for the assembly of functional peroxisomes. The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive, lethal diseases characterized by multiple defects in peroxisome function. The peroxisomal biogenesis disorders are a heterogeneous group with at least 14 complementation groups and with more than 1 phenotype being observed in cases falling into particular complementation groups. Although the clinical features of PBD patients vary, cells from all PBD patients exhibit a defect in the import of one or more classes of peroxisomal matrix proteins into the organelle. Defects in this gene are a cause Zellweger syndrome (ZWS). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Background

PEX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cell lines that have had their PEX3 gene, integral to the process of peroxisome biogenesis, selectively disrupted. This gene encodes a peroxisomal membrane protein essential for the formation and maintenance of peroxisomes, which play critical roles in various metabolic pathways, including fatty acid oxidation and the metabolism of reactive oxygen species. By selectively knocking out the PEX3 gene, these cell lines provide a unique model for studying the molecular mechanisms of peroxisomal disorders and their impact on cellular metabolism.

At the cellular level, the absence of PEX3 leads to impaired peroxisomal assembly and function, resulting in specific alterations in cellular metabolic profiles. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to elucidate the pathways that govern peroxisome formation and the subsequent effects on metabolic homeostasis, including lipid metabolism and redox balance. This model is particularly relevant for investigating diseases such as Zellweger syndrome, which are characterized by defective peroxisome biogenesis.

In terms of scientific importance, PEX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a powerful tool for both basic research and potential therapeutic discovery. Their specificity allows scientists to explore gene function and the pathological consequences of peroxisomal defects in a controlled environment, accelerating the development of targeted therapeutics aimed at these metabolic disorders.

What sets our PEX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other cellular models is the precise and reliable knockout technology employed, ensuring reproducibility and high-quality results. This specificity reduces background interference seen in other models, making data interpretation more straightforward and enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes.

Ultimately, these cell lines are invaluable resources for researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical scientists committed to advancing our understanding of metabolic diseases. Our expertise in genetic engineering and commitment to advancing biomedical research ensures that we deliver top-tier biological products like the PEX3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, enabling breakthroughs in the science of peroxisomal disorders and beyond.
