PLPP1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PLPP1

Official Full Name: phospholipid phosphatase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) family. PAPs convert phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol, and function in synthesis of glycerolipids and in phospholipase D-mediated signal transduction. This enzyme is an integral membrane glycoprotein that plays a role in the hydrolysis and uptake of lipids from extracellular space. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Background

PLPP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cells designed to specifically disable the PLPP1 gene, which encodes for the phospholipid phosphatase 1 enzyme. This enzyme plays a critical role in the metabolism of phospholipids, influencing various biological processes including cell signaling, membrane dynamics, and apoptotic pathways. The knockout of the PLPP1 gene allows researchers to elucidate its functional role and understand the perturbations in lipid metabolism that could lead to diverse pathological conditions.

The mechanism underlying the utility of PLPP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the depletion of PLPP1 activity, which subsequently alters cellular phosphatidic acid levels and affects downstream signaling pathways. By utilizing these cell lines, researchers can investigate how the absence of PLPP1 influences cellular functions, including growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, thus providing insights into diseases such as cancer and metabolic disorders where phospholipid metabolism is disrupted.

The scientific relevance of these knockout cell lines extends into both basic research and clinical settings. They serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery, allowing for high-throughput screening of compounds that can modulate phospholipid signaling pathways. Furthermore, they provide a platform for validating potential therapeutic targets in lipid metabolism-related diseases.

When compared to conventional methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference, PLPP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a more stable and permanent solution to study gene function. This stability ensures that results are reproducible, thereby enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes and facilitating more meaningful interpretations.

Investing in PLPP1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines equips researchers and clinicians with a powerful asset in the exploration of lipid metabolism and its implications in health and disease. Our company leverages cutting-edge technology and extensive expertise in genetic engineering to deliver high-quality, validated cell lines that accelerate research progress.
