Gene: PHKG1
Official Full Name: phosphorylase kinase catalytic subunit gamma 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and encodes a protein with one protein kinase domain and two calmodulin-binding domains. This protein is the catalytic member of a 16 subunit protein kinase complex which contains equimolar ratios of 4 subunit types. The complex is a crucial glycogenolytic regulatory enzyme. This gene has two pseudogenes at chromosome 7q11.21 and one at chromosome 11p11.12. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

PHKG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to have a targeted deletion of the PHKG1 gene, which encodes for the catalytic subunit of the phosphorylase b kinase enzyme. This product serves as a critical tool for researchers studying glycogen metabolism, as well as the regulation of energy homeostasis within cells. By eliminating PHKG1 expression, these cell lines provide insight into the role of this kinase in glycogenolysis—the process by which glycogen is broken down to glucose—and its implications in various metabolic disorders.
The primary mechanism of action involves disrupting the normal signaling pathways activated by the PHKG1 protein, allowing researchers to explore the downstream effects on glucose metabolism and energy utilization. This functional knockout makes it possible to investigate the physiological consequences of impaired glycogen breakdown, linking genetic alterations with metabolic diseases such as diabetes and certain myopathies.
In clinical and research settings, these cell lines are invaluable for elucidating the pathophysiology of glycogen storage diseases, providing a reliable model for drug screening and the evaluation of therapeutic approaches. Moreover, they can be utilized in gene therapy research to identify potential targets for correcting metabolic dysfunctions associated with PHKG1 dysregulation.
One of the most significant advantages of our PHKG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their unparalleled specificity and reproducibility, which minimizes the potential for off-target effects that can arise with alternative gene-editing techniques. Unlike transient transfection methods, which may result in variable expression levels and unstable knockdown, these stable knockout cell lines ensure consistent results, thereby enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes.
For researchers and clinicians seeking a deeper understanding of glycogen metabolism and its implications for human health, our PHKG1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer not only an effective platform for inquiry but also the opportunity to contribute to advancements in metabolic disease treatment strategies. With a commitment to high-quality biological products, our company harnesses rigorous scientific expertise to continually develop solutions that meet the evolving needs of the research community, supporting groundbreaking discoveries and innovations in the field.
