Gene: PLA2G7
Official Full Name: phospholipase A2 group VIIprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of platelet-activating factor to biologically inactive products. Defects in this gene are a cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

PLA2G7 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically engineered to lack the expression of the phospholipase A2 group VII (PLA2G7) gene. This gene encodes a secretory enzyme involved in lipid metabolism, specifically the hydrolysis of phospholipids to produce lysophospholipids and fatty acids. By disrupting this gene, these knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools for investigating the physiological and pathological roles of PLA2G7 in various biological processes, including inflammation, atherosclerosis, and metabolic disorders.
The key function of PLA2G7 is its involvement in the modulation of inflammatory responses and lipid mediator production. In the context of research, these knockout cell lines allow scientists to dissect the signaling pathways that emanate from PLA2G7-dependent mechanisms. By studying the phenotypic and functional changes in the absence of PLA2G7, researchers can explore its potential involvement in diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, paving the way for new therapeutic strategies.
The scientific importance of PLA2G7 knockout cell lines is profound, as they facilitate the investigation of gene function in cellular contexts that mimic human disease conditions. In clinical settings, insights gained from manipulating PLA2G7 expression can drive translational research towards targeted therapies that address dysregulated lipid metabolism and inflammation.
One of the significant advantages of these cell lines over traditional cell models is their precise genetic modification, which allows for a clearer interpretation of experimental outcomes without the confounding effects of variable PLA2G7 expression. Additionally, their robust stability and reproducibility enhance their usability across multiple research applications, making them a cost-effective choice for laboratories.
