PIGK Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PIGK

Official Full Name: phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Kprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cysteine protease family C13 that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is a member of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase and is thought to be its enzymatic component. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PIGK Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered models that have had the PIGK gene inactivated to study its function and role in various biological processes. The PIGK gene encodes a protein involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis, which is crucial for the post-translational modification of proteins. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers can dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying GPI-anchored protein functions and assess their implications in cell signaling, immune responses, and cancer biology.

These cell lines utilize CRISPR/Cas9 technology for precise gene editing, ensuring high specificity and efficiency in gene disruption. The absence of PIGK allows researchers to explore alterations in cell surface protein expression, modifications in lipid metabolism, and potential compensatory pathways activated in response to gene inactivation. This makes the PIGK Gene Knockout Cell Lines invaluable tools for both basic and applied research, particularly in the investigation of diseases linked to altered GPI anchoring, including certain cancers and neurodegenerative disorders.

Compared to alternative models, such as transient transfection systems or siRNA knockdown approaches, the PIGK Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer permanent and stable gene inactivation, enabling long-term studies and more reliable data. This stability allows researchers to perform reproducible experiments and validate findings that can lead to significant advancements in therapeutic approaches.

Our product is particularly advantageous for researchers and clinicians seeking to understand the pathophysiological roles of GPI-anchored proteins in detail. By utilizing PIGK Gene Knockout Cell Lines, scientists can generate more targeted hypotheses, leading to improved insights and potential intervention strategies.
