PHYH Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PHYH

Official Full Name: phytanoyl-CoA 2-hydroxylaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the PhyH family and encodes a peroxisomal protein that is involved in the alpha-oxidation of 3-methyl branched fatty acids. Specifically, this protein converts phytanoyl-CoA to 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Refsum disease (RD) and deficient protein activity has been associated with Zellweger syndrome and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PHYH Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have been modified to disrupt the expression of the PHYH gene, which encodes for the enzyme phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase involved in the catabolism of phytanic acid. These knockout lines are invaluable tools for research into disorders such as Refsum disease and other metabolic conditions where phytanic acid accumulation is a concern. By providing a model to study the effects of PHYH loss-of-function, these cell lines enable researchers to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying such metabolic diseases.

The primary function of PHYH Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to accurately mimic the biochemical and physiological characteristics of PHYH-deficient states. By studying these cells, researchers can observe alterations in metabolic pathways, assess oxidative stress responses, and evaluate potential therapeutic interventions. Moreover, these lines facilitate the exploration of compensatory mechanisms in neighboring metabolic pathways that may arise due to the knockout of PHYH.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends beyond basic research; they are pivotal in preclinical studies aimed at developing and testing novel treatments for related disorders. Their application in drug discovery is particularly noteworthy as they allow for high-throughput screening of small molecules that could restore normal metabolic function or mitigate the detrimental effects of phytanic acid accumulation.

What sets PHYH Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional cell models is their specificity and precision. Unlike wild-type cell lines that can produce confounding results due to the presence of functional PHYH, these knockout models offer a clear, unambiguous platform for experimentation. This specificity enhances the reliability of research findings, making them more compelling for publication and for regulatory approval in clinical settings.

For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic disorders, PHYH Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an unparalleled resource that empowers breakthroughs in understanding the pathophysiology of diseases and in the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. With our rigorous validation protocols and commitment to quality, [Your Company Name] is dedicated to providing top-tier biological products that support the advancement of scientific research and healthcare solutions.
