POFUT1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: POFUT1

Official Full Name: protein O-fucosyltransferase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase O-Fuc family. This enzyme adds O-fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to conserved serine or threonine residues in the epidermal growth factor-like repeats of a number of cell surface and secreted proteins. O-fucose glycans are involved in ligand-induced receptor signaling. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

POFUT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that enable researchers to study the functional implications of the POFUT1 gene, which encodes an enzyme crucial for the O-fucosylation of proteins. This enzyme plays a pivotal role in modulating various biological processes, including cell signaling, adhesion, and immune responses. By knocking out the POFUT1 gene, these cell lines provide a unique platform to investigate the resultant biochemical and phenotypic changes, allowing for comprehensive insights into the gene’s contribution to cellular physiology and pathology.

The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines involves the targeted disruption of the POFUT1 gene via CRISPR-Cas9 technology, leading to a loss of O-fucosylation and unveiling its downstream effects. Researchers can engage in comparative analyses, using these knockout models alongside wild-type cell lines to evaluate differential gene expression, protein interactions, and cellular responses to various stimuli. This targeted approach is crucial for discerning the specific roles of O-fucosylation in both normal and diseased states, enhancing our understanding of various conditions such as cancer and developmental disorders.

The scientific importance of POFUT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both research and clinical settings, where they are utilized to identify potential therapeutic targets, evaluate drug efficacy, and explore biomarker discovery.
