Gene: POMK
Official Full Name: protein O-mannose kinaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that may be involved in the presentation of the laminin-binding O-linked carbohydrate chain of alpha-dystroglycan (a-DG), which forms transmembrane linkages between the extracellular matrix and the exoskeleton. Some pathogens use this O-linked carbohydrate unit for host entry. Loss of function compound heterozygous mutations in this gene were found in a human patient affected by the Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) phenotype. Mice lacking this gene contain misplaced neurons (heterotopia) in some regions of the brain, possibly from defects in neuronal migration. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

POMK Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the POMK (protein O-mannosyltransferase kinase) gene has been selectively disrupted, providing a powerful tool for studying the role of POMK in cellular processes and disease mechanisms. These cell lines facilitate the investigation of protein glycosylation, a critical post-translational modification that influences protein folding, stability, and signaling. By creating a complete knockout of the POMK gene, researchers can examine the phenotypic consequences of its absence, allowing for the elucidation of POMK’s function in various biological contexts.
The primary mechanism by which POMK gene knockout cell lines operate lies in their ability to provide insights into how the loss of POMK impacts cellular behavior. These cells can serve as models for studying disorders associated with aberrant glycosylation, such as muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. Moreover, the knockout lines can be employed to identify downstream signaling pathways affected by POMK absence, enabling researchers to map cellular networks and better understand disease etiology.
The scientific importance of POMK gene knockout cell lines extends to both research and clinical settings. In an era where personalized medicine is at the forefront, these cell lines offer invaluable resources for drug screening and the development of targeted therapeutics. Understanding the specific roles of glycosylation in pathophysiology paves the way for innovative treatments that can address unmet medical needs.
Compared to alternative models, POMK gene knockout cell lines stand out due to their specificity and reliability in simulating the loss of POMK function. They are developed with advanced gene-editing technologies, ensuring precise modifications and consistent performance. Additionally, these cell lines are compatible with a range of experimental techniques, including CRISPR screening, high-throughput assays, and proteomics, enhancing their versatility in research applications.
