Gene: PLOD3
Official Full Name: procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 3provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound homodimeric enzyme that is localized to the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme (cofactors iron and ascorbate) catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysyl residues in collagen-like peptides. The resultant hydroxylysyl groups are attachment sites for carbohydrates in collagen and thus are critical for the stability of intermolecular crosslinks. Some patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIB have deficiencies in lysyl hydroxylase activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PLOD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to exhibit a targeted disruption of the PLOD3 gene, known for its involvement in collagen biosynthesis and extracellular matrix remodeling. These knockout cell lines provide researchers the ability to study the biological pathways modulated by PLOD3, which may contribute to various pathological conditions, including fibrosis and certain cancers. By creating an environment devoid of functional PLOD3, researchers can elucidate the gene's role in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and migration.
The mechanism underlying these cell lines involves the precise gene-editing technology, often utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 or similar genome-editing techniques, to introduce specific mutations that inactivate the gene. This knockout approach allows for the analysis of phenotypic changes and molecular alterations resulting from the absence of PLOD3, providing significant insights into its functional implications in both physiological and pathological contexts.
The scientific importance of PLOD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into various research fields, including cancer biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Their application in functional studies enables scientists to explore therapeutic targets and develop novel treatment strategies for diseases characterized by aberrant collagen metabolism.
Compared to traditional cell lines, PLOD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a unique advantage by providing a controlled genetic background, facilitating reproducible results and minimizing variability across experiments. This specificity is essential for accurate data interpretation, enhancing the reliability of research findings.
For researchers and clinicians striving for a deeper understanding of collagen-related disorders or looking to innovate therapeutic interventions, PLOD3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pivotal resource. Leveraging these advanced models can lead to significant breakthroughs in understanding and treating conditions linked to extracellular matrix dysfunction.
