PEX6 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PEX6

Official Full Name: peroxisomal biogenesis factor 6provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family of ATPases. This member is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, which plays a direct role in peroxisomal protein import and is required for PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal 1, a C-terminal tripeptide of the sequence ser-lys-leu) receptor activity. Mutations in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 4 and complementation group 6. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Background

PEX6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that lack the expression of the PEX6 gene, a critical component involved in peroxisome biogenesis and metabolism. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these knockout lines provide a powerful tool for investigating the functional roles of PEX6 in cellular processes, particularly those related to lipid metabolism, reactive oxygen species detoxification, and cellular signaling pathways.

The primary function of the PEX6 protein is to facilitate the recycling and import of peroxins, which are essential for the formation and maintenance of functional peroxisomes. Without PEX6, cells experience peroxisomal dysfunction, leading to metabolic disruptions that can illuminate the pathophysiology of various peroxisomal disorders. Researchers can leverage PEX6 knockout cell lines to explore the downstream effects of impaired peroxisome function, giving insights into diseases such as Zellweger syndrome or X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.

From a scientific perspective, these knockout cell lines allow for targeted investigations into gene function, enabling researchers to study metabolic pathways in a controlled environment. Noteworthy applications include drug discovery efforts aimed at therapeutic interventions for peroxisomal disorders, as well as the potential to explore novel approaches for treating conditions associated with oxidative stress.

What sets PEX6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their high specificity and the ease of use associated with modern gene-editing technologies. Unlike traditional knockdown methods that may yield incomplete or off-target effects, our knockout lines provide a definitive model that enables clear insights into PEX6 functionality. This specificity not only enhances the reliability of experiments but also saves researchers valuable time and resources in their investigations.

For researchers, clinicians, and biopharmaceutical companies, PEX6 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a vital asset for advancing the understanding of peroxisome biology and its impact on human health. Our commitment to delivering innovative and reliable biological products is backed by years of expertise in genetic engineering and cellular research, ensuring that you have the tools necessary to drive your research forward.
