PIGM Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PIGM

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

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor is a glycolipid which contains three mannose molecules in its core backbone. The GPI-anchor is found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene encodes a mannosyltransferase, GPI-MT-I, that transfers the first mannose to GPI on the lumenal side of the endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PIGM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced model systems specifically engineered to study the function of the phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class M (PIGM) gene. These cell lines are created using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, resulting in the precise deletion of the PIGM gene, which plays a crucial role in GPI-anchored protein synthesis. By eliminating the PIGM gene, researchers can investigate the impact of disrupted GPI anchor biosynthesis on cellular processes, such as cell signaling, protein trafficking, and immune responses.

The key function of PIGM Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to elucidate the biological consequences of PIGM deficiency. This is particularly significant for understanding certain inherited disorders linked to GPI anchor metabolism, such as the hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS). Through functional assays and phenotypic analyses, researchers can explore how the absence of PIGM affects cellular integrity and contributes to disease pathogenesis, thereby providing a clearer picture for therapeutic development.

Scientifically, the importance of these cell lines extends beyond basic research; they are indispensable tools in drug development and personalized medicine. By modeling PIGM-related anomalies, researchers can identify potential therapeutic targets, screen for pharmacological agents, and assess the efficacy of gene therapies to restore GPI biosynthesis functionality.

The unique selling point of PIGM Gene Knockout Cell Lines compared to other options is their precise gene-editing capabilities and reproducibility, which ensure that findings are robust and comparable across experiments. Additionally, these cell lines are optimized for high-throughput screening, facilitating large-scale applications in drug discovery.

By incorporating these cell lines into research projects, scientists can make significant strides in understanding GPI anchor-related diseases, potentially leading to novel treatment strategies. Our company specializes in delivering high-quality biological products, backed by years of expertise in gene editing technologies and cell line development. This commitment to precision and reliability guarantees that our PIGM Gene Knockout Cell Lines will serve as vital resources for researchers and clinicians alike, accelerating their journey into groundbreaking discoveries.
