PIGO Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PIGO

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

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The 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 protein is involved in the transfer of ethanolaminephosphate (EtNP) to the third mannose in GPI. At least three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding two distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Background

PIGO Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to effectively study the functional roles of the PIGO gene in various biological processes. The PIGO gene encodes an enzyme involved in the post-translational modification of proteins, specifically in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, which play a crucial role in cell membrane localization and signaling. These knockout cell lines are created through precise gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, leading to a complete loss of PIGO gene function, thus enabling researchers to delineate the pathways and phenotypic consequences associated with its absence.

The primary function of these cell lines is to facilitate studies related to cell adhesion, motility, and the immune response, since GPI-anchored proteins are involved in various signaling pathways crucial for cellular interactions and immune function. By utilizing PIGO Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can investigate how aberrations in GPI anchoring can lead to diseases, including certain cancer types, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions.

What sets PIGO Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from conventional cell lines is the specific targeting of a gene that has significant implications in both normal physiology and disease pathology. Unlike other models, these lines allow for controlled and reproducible studies regarding the specific contributions of the PIGO gene without the confounding effects of other pathways.

For researchers and clinicians, the ability to dissect the specific roles of PIGO in phenotypic expressions facilitates more targeted therapeutic developments and deeper insights into disease mechanisms. Additionally, the knockout approach serves as a valuable tool for drug discovery, allowing for high-throughput screening of compounds that may restore or compensate for the loss of PIGO function.
