PHKB Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PHKB

Official Full Name: phosphorylase kinase regulatory subunit betaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Phosphorylase kinase is a polymer of 16 subunits, four each of alpha, beta, gamma and delta. The alpha subunit includes the skeletal muscle and hepatic isoforms, encoded by two different genes. The beta subunit is the same in both the muscle and hepatic isoforms, encoded by this gene, which is a member of the phosphorylase b kinase regulatory subunit family. The gamma subunit also includes the skeletal muscle and hepatic isoforms, encoded by two different genes. The delta subunit is a calmodulin and can be encoded by three different genes. The gamma subunits contain the active site of the enzyme, whereas the alpha and beta subunits have regulatory functions controlled by phosphorylation. The delta subunit mediates the dependence of the enzyme on calcium concentration. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 9B, also known as phosphorylase kinase deficiency of liver and muscle. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. Two pseudogenes have been found on chromosomes 14 and 20, respectively.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

Background

PHKB Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge tool for elucidating the biological roles of the PHKB gene, which encodes a subunit of the enzyme phosphorylase b kinase, crucial in glycogen metabolism. This engineered cell line features a targeted knockout of the PHKB gene, allowing researchers to investigate the consequences of gene loss on cellular function, metabolic pathways, and overall physiological processes. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines ensure precise and reproducible gene editing, enabling effective exploration of PHKB's impact on glycogen storage disorders and related glycogen metabolism pathways.

The primary mechanism of PHKB Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolves around the disruption of the PHKB gene that leads to the ablation of its protein product, which plays a vital role in modulating glycogen phosphorylase activity. This knockdown effectively mimics pathological conditions, facilitating studies on enzyme regulation, energy homeostasis, and the mechanistic understanding of disorders such as glycogen storage diseases. Furthermore, these cell lines provide an invaluable platform for drug testing, metabolic research, and validating therapeutic approaches targeting glycogen metabolism.

The scientific importance of PHKB Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to their applications in both research and clinical settings. Researchers can leverage these models to decipher the underlying mechanisms of metabolic diseases, allowing for the development of targeted therapies and investigations into new drug candidates. Compared to other gene knockout models, our PHKB cell lines are uniquely validated for efficiency and specificity, providing a higher degree of reliability in experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing metabolic research, the PHKB Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pivotal tool in the quest for deeper biological insights and novel therapies. With our commitment to innovation, our company not only provides state-of-the-art cell lines but also offers expert guidance and support for those embarking on groundbreaking research endeavors.
