Gene: PLA2G4A
Official Full Name: phospholipase A2 group IVAprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 group IV family. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids to release arachidonic acid which is subsequently metabolized into eicosanoids. Eicosanoids, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, are lipid-based cellular hormones that regulate hemodynamics, inflammatory responses, and other intracellular pathways. The hydrolysis reaction also produces lysophospholipids that are converted into platelet-activating factor. The enzyme is activated by increased intracellular Ca(2+) levels and phosphorylation, resulting in its translocation from the cytosol and nucleus to perinuclear membrane vesicles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

PLA2G4A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically engineered to silence the expression of the phospholipase A2 group IVA (PLA2G4A) gene. This gene encodes for an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of phospholipids, yielding arachidonic acid, which plays a pivotal role in inflammatory processes, signal transduction, and cell membrane dynamics. The knockout of PLA2G4A allows researchers to dissect the gene’s contribution to various cellular functions and disease mechanisms.
The core functionality of these cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate the study of PLA2G4A's role in pathophysiological contexts, such as inflammatory conditions and cancer. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, our knockout cell lines exhibit precise deletion of the PLA2G4A gene, leading to diminished enzyme activity and the subsequent disruption of its downstream signaling pathways. This enables targeted investigations into how PLA2G4A influences cellular responses, offers insights into lipid metabolism, and assists in the exploration of novel therapeutic interventions.
The scientific importance of PLA2G4A Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both fundamental research and clinical applications. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools in drug discovery, toxicity testing, and mechanistic studies concerning immune responses. Researchers can utilize this specific model to better understand the complex interplay between lipid mediators and disease, offering potential avenues for the development of targeted therapies that address inflammatory diseases or other PLA2G4A-related disorders.
What sets our PLA2G4A Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative products is their robustness and reproducibility, supported by extensive characterization to ensure their reliability in various experimental conditions. Moreover, our commitment to quality ensures that these cell lines are free from cross-contamination and carry well-defined genetic backgrounds, providing researchers with confidence in their findings.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the ability to manipulate and study PLA2G4A provides a powerful opportunity to advance the understanding of cellular biology and therapeutic modalities.
