Gene: PON1
Official Full Name: paraoxonase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the paraoxonase family of enzymes and exhibits lactonase and ester hydrolase activity. Following synthesis in the kidney and liver, the enzyme is secreted into the circulation, where it binds to high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and hydrolyzes thiolactones and xenobiotics, including paraoxon, a metabolite of the insecticide parathion. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with coronary artery disease and diabetic retinopathy. The gene is found in a cluster of three related paraoxonase genes on chromosome 7.

PON1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene has been deliberately disrupted. PON1 is a key enzyme implicated in several biological processes, including lipid metabolism, oxidative stress response, and detoxification of organophosphates. By knocking out this gene, researchers can investigate the functional role of PON1 in various cellular contexts, including its impact on neuroprotection, inflammation, and cardiovascular health.
The mechanism behind these cell lines involves CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows for precise genome editing to create targeted deletions in the PON1 gene. This genome editing approach not only ensures a high rate of knockout efficiency but also minimizes off-target effects, thus allowing for reliable experimental outcomes. Researchers using these cell lines can explore the cellular mechanisms underlying diseases linked to altered PON1 functionality, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disorders.
The scientific importance of PON1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential applications in both basic research and clinical research settings. They provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of diseases affected by oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, offering a platform for testing therapeutic interventions and validating pharmacological targets. Additionally, these cell lines can serve as models for drug discovery, toxicity assessments, and the exploration of gene-environment interactions.
In comparison to alternative models, such as transient knockdowns or chemical inhibitors, PON1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a stable, long-term solution for studying the PON1 gene's functions within a controlled environment. Their utilization can significantly decrease variability in experimental results, thus enhancing the reproducibility of studies.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of PON1-related mechanisms or develop novel therapeutics, these cell lines represent an invaluable resource. Our company specializes in providing high-quality genetically modified organisms that empower scientists to conduct impactful research with confidence, ensuring precision and reliability in their experiments.
