PTGS1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PTGS1

Official Full Name: prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This is one of two genes encoding similar enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonate to prostaglandin. The encoded protein regulates angiogenesis in endothelial cells, and is inhibited by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin. Based on its ability to function as both a cyclooxygenase and as a peroxidase, the encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein. The protein may promote cell proliferation during tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2021]

Background

PTGS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to study the biological functions of the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) enzyme, encoded by the PTGS1 gene. These cell lines have undergone precise gene editing to disrupt the PTGS1 gene, facilitating research into the physiological and pathological roles of COX-1 in various disease states, including inflammatory disorders and cancer.

The primary function of PTGS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to enable researchers to examine the consequences of COX-1 deficiency on cellular signaling pathways and inflammatory responses. The knockout of PTGS1 leads to the absence of COX-1 enzyme activity, providing a unique platform to explore the resulting alterations in prostaglandin synthesis, which play critical roles in processes such as pain, fever, and vascular homeostasis. This capability allows for detailed investigation into COX-1's impact on cellular processes in both normal and diseased states.

Scientifically, these cell lines serve as invaluable tools in pharmacological studies, toxicology, and biomarker discovery. Their application in research settings ranges from drug development where COX-1 inhibition may provide therapeutic benefit, to understanding the immune response in autoimmune diseases. Moreover, these knockout lines are instrumental in exploring compensatory mechanisms that may arise from the absence of COX-1, offering insights that are critical in designing targeted treatments.

What sets our PTGS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from conventional cell models is their precise gene modification and validation, ensuring that researchers are working with a reliable system that accurately represents in vivo conditions. Compared to alternatives, our lines have been rigorously characterized, enabling reproducibility and confidence in experimental outcomes.

By utilizing PTGS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians benefit from the ability to dissect the multifaceted roles of COX-1 in health and disease, ultimately driving advancements in therapeutic strategies. Our company's commitment to quality and innovation in providing state-of-the-art biological products stands as a testament to our expertise in supporting scientific discovery and clinical advancements.
