Gene: PIGU
Official Full Name: phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Uprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene shares similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc91, a predicted integral membrane protein that may function in cell division control. The protein encoded by this gene is the fifth subunit of GPI transamidase that attaches GPI-anchors to proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PIGU Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular systems designed to facilitate the study and manipulation of the PIGU gene, which is integral to the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors. The PIGU gene plays a crucial role in post-translational modifications that are essential for cell membrane composition and function. By knocking out this gene, researchers can investigate the biological implications of GPI anchor deficiency, enabling insights into various cellular processes, including signaling, adhesion, and receptor functionality.
The mechanism of action for these knockout cell lines involves the consistent loss of PIGU gene expression, achieved through CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. This precision-engineered knockout provides a reliable platform for assessing the phenotypic and functional consequences of the absence of PIGU, including altered cell morphology, disrupted signaling pathways, and potential implications in disease models, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
The scientific significance of PIGU Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic and translational research. They serve as invaluable tools in the field of cell biology and biomedicine, allowing for the exploration of GPI anchor-related mechanisms in health and disease. Moreover, these models can be employed in drug discovery and therapeutic development, providing a framework for assessing the impact of potential treatments on GPI-associated cellular functions.
Compared to other gene knockout models, our PIGU Gene Knockout Cell Lines are distinct in their high efficiency and specificity, ensuring minimal off-target effects. The knockout lines are validated for consistent performance and reproducibility, which offers researchers the confidence needed to draw meaningful conclusions from their studies.
