PGAP1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PGAP1

Official Full Name: post-GPI attachment to proteins inositol deacylase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene functions early in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing the inositol deacylation of GPI. The encoded protein is required for the production of GPI that can attach to proteins, and this may be an important factor in the transport of GPI-anchored proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. Defects in this gene are a cause an autosomal recessive form of cognitive impairment. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

Background

PGAP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to study the function and implications of the PGAP1 gene, which encodes for a post-translational modification enzyme involved in glycoprotein biosynthesis. These cell lines are meticulously developed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, ensuring an efficient and precise knockout of the PGAP1 gene. The resulting cell lines exhibit definitive alterations in glycosylation patterns, allowing researchers to investigate how PGAP1 disruption influences cellular processes such as protein folding, maturation, and cell signaling pathways.

Key mechanisms involved in the functionality of PGAP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include the study of altered protein interactions and their effects on various cellular outcomes. With PGAP1 knockout, glycoproteins are more likely to misfold or be degraded, which can help elucidate the gene's role in diseases such as cancer and congenital disorders related to glycosylation defects. Research utilizing these cell lines can lead to crucial insights into novel therapeutic approaches, thereby emphasizing their importance in both basic and applied biological research.

Compared to other models, such as transient transfection systems, PGAP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a stable and reproducible platform for long-term experiments, thereby minimizing variability across studies. These models are ready-to-use, saving time and resources for laboratories engaged in high-throughput screening or extended mechanistic studies. The precise knockout ensures that results are attributable to the specific gene disruption, making data interpretation straightforward and reliable.

For researchers and clinicians, the ability to explore the functional consequences of PGAP1 loss opens doors to innovative avenues for drug discovery and pathogenesis understanding. The integration of this cell line into experimental workflows enhances the potential for groundbreaking research into glycosylation-related diseases.
