Gene: PPARA
Official Full Name: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alphaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Peroxisome proliferators include hypolipidemic drugs, herbicides, leukotriene antagonists, and plasticizers; this term arises because they induce an increase in the size and number of peroxisomes. Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles found in plants and animals that contain enzymes for respiration and for cholesterol and lipid metabolism. The action of peroxisome proliferators is thought to be mediated via specific receptors, called PPARs, which belong to the steroid hormone receptor superfamily. PPARs affect the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and in immune and inflammation responses. Three closely related subtypes (alpha, beta/delta, and gamma) have been identified. This gene encodes the subtype PPAR-alpha, which is a nuclear transcription factor. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene, although the full-length nature of only two has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PPARA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to study the biological functions of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA), a critical transcription factor involved in regulating lipid metabolism, inflammation, and energy homeostasis. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, our PPARA gene knockout models enable researchers to precisely disrupt the PPARA gene, allowing for the investigation of various metabolic pathways and their implications in health and disease.
The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines revolves around the complete loss of PPARA expression, which leads to alterations in fatty acid oxidation and the modulation of inflammatory responses. This disruption can help elucidate the role of PPARA in metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, providing essential insights into cellular responses that are modulated by this receptor. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to perform functional assays, drug screenings, and mechanistic studies that will advance the understanding of PPARA-related pathways.
The scientific importance of PPARA Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into clinical settings, where they can serve as a model for evaluating potential therapeutic strategies aimed at metabolic diseases. These knockout models simplify the investigation of PPARA’s role in pharmacological response, aiding in drug development and the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
What sets our PPARA Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is the rigor with which they are produced, guaranteeing high specificity and reproducibility. Unlike general knockout models that may have off-target effects, our lines have been validated through multiple rounds of sequencing and functional assays, ensuring researchers can obtain reliable, robust data.
For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic research, these cell lines are invaluable tools that enhance the depth and accuracy of their investigations. By providing a clear picture of how PPARA influences cellular function, our products can significantly elevate research outcomes and open doors to groundbreaking discoveries.
