PLTP Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PLTP

Official Full Name: phospholipid transfer proteinprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is one of at least two lipid transfer proteins found in human plasma. The encoded protein transfers phospholipids from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to high density lipoprotein (HDL). In addition to regulating the size of HDL particles, this protein may be involved in cholesterol metabolism. At least two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PLTP Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models specifically designed to explore the function of the phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) gene. These cell lines have been meticulously generated using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology to provide a precise and effective means to study the biological implications of PLTP deficiency. By disrupting the PLTP gene, these knockout cell lines facilitate the investigation of lipid metabolism, a critical pathway in various physiological and pathological processes, including atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome.

The key mechanism of action involves the lack of PLTP protein, leading to altered lipid transfer activities and metabolic shifts within cellular environments. This enables researchers to elucidate the role of PLTP in lipid homeostasis and its interplay with apolipoproteins and lipoproteins in both research and clinical biomarker development.

The scientific importance of PLTP Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated, as they serve as valuable tools in both academic research and pharmaceutical development. They provide insights into disease mechanisms at the cellular level and are essential for testing therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating lipid pathways. Furthermore, these cell lines are pivotal for validating the efficacy and safety of novel drugs targeting lipid metabolism.

One of the significant advantages of our PLTP Gene Knockout Cell Lines over other alternatives is the precision of the gene knockouts achieved through advanced CRISPR technology, which decreases off-target effects and enhances reproducibility in experimental designs. Our product also comes with robust characterization data, confirming the biological relevance and utility of the cell lines.

For researchers and clinicians focused on cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders, and drug development, incorporating PLTP Gene Knockout Cell Lines into their studies can drive discoveries that lead to innovative therapeutic strategies. With our team’s expertise in genetic engineering and cell culture techniques, we are dedicated to supplying high-quality products that empower the scientific community to advance their research objectives effectively.
