Gene: PLAAT4
Official Full Name: phospholipase A and acyltransferase 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Retinoids exert biologic effects such as potent growth inhibitory and cell differentiation activities and are used in the treatment of hyperproliferative dermatological diseases. These effects are mediated by specific nuclear receptor proteins that are members of the steroid and thyroid hormone receptor superfamily of transcriptional regulators. RARRES1, RARRES2, and RARRES3 are genes whose expression is upregulated by the synthetic retinoid tazarotene. RARRES3 is thought act as a tumor suppressor or growth regulator.

PLAAT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that have been specifically designed to eliminate the expression of the PLAAT4 gene, which encodes for a phospholipase involved in various lipid metabolism pathways. These knockout cell lines serve as critical tools for studying the biochemical and physiological ramifications of PLAAT4 loss, allowing researchers to dissect its role in various cellular processes, including apoptosis, inflammation, and cellular signaling pathways.
The key mechanism by which PLAAT4 gene knockout cell lines operate lies in the CRISPR-Cas9 technology or other gene-editing methodologies that induce precise genetic deletions. By targeting the PLAAT4 locus, researchers can create stable cell lines that lack functional PLAAT4 protein, enabling them to investigate the downstream effects of its absence on lipid metabolism and related signaling networks. This manipulation allows for a clearer understanding of the gene's contributions to health and disease, making these cell lines invaluable for both fundamental research and applied science.
The scientific importance of PLAAT4 gene knockout cell lines is underscored by their utility in research areas such as cancer biology, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. By employing these models, scientists can elucidate the roles of lipid signaling pathways in disease progression and identify potential therapeutic targets. Furthermore, these cell lines offer unique opportunities for drug screening and development, particularly in assessing compounds that may modulate lipid pathways.
Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type or overexpressing cell lines, the PLAAT4 knockout variants provide a streamlined approach to studying specific genetic knockouts, reducing confounding variables often present in mixed-genotype populations. This specificity enhances the reliability and reproducibility of experimental results, contributing to more robust data interpretation.
For researchers and clinicians alike, PLAAT4 gene knockout cell lines present an invaluable resource for advancing the understanding of lipid-mediated biology. By leveraging these versatile models, users can unlock new insights into the molecular underpinnings of various diseases and accelerate the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
