Gene: SLC17A5
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 17 member 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a membrane transporter that exports free sialic acids that have been cleaved off of cell surface lipids and proteins from lysosomes. Mutations in this gene cause sialic acid storage diseases, including infantile sialic acid storage disorder and and Salla disease, an adult form. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SLC17A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have undergone targeted gene disruption to eliminate the expression of the SLC17A5 gene. This gene encodes for the sodium-dependent phosphate transporter, which plays a critical role in cellular phosphate uptake and, by extension, is involved in various physiological processes such as cellular metabolism and signaling. The knockout of this gene allows researchers to study its function in detail, thus elucidating the roles of phosphate transport in health and disease.
These cell lines function as powerful tools in experimental biology, enabling scientists to investigate the effects of absent SLC17A5 expression on cellular mechanisms. By analyzing cellular growth, differentiation, and metabolic profiles in SLC17A5 knockout cells compared to their wild-type counterparts, researchers can better understand the implications of phosphate transport dysregulation in various pathological states, including metabolic disorders and cancer. The advanced methodologies employed in creating these knockouts include CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring precise gene targeting and high efficiency.
The scientific importance of SLC17A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in both research and clinical settings. These cell lines can facilitate drug discovery and development by serving as models for testing therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring phosphate homeostasis. Furthermore, utilizing these knockout models in toxicology studies can assist in identifying potential adverse effects of drugs affecting phosphate transport.
Compared to other gene knockout approaches, SLC17A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages. They provide a stable and reproducible system for the study of gene function in vitro, which is crucial for obtaining reliable experimental results. Additionally, the specificity of this gene knockout minimizes off-target effects often seen with other gene editing techniques, thereby increasing the validity of the experimental data obtained.
For researchers and clinicians, these cell lines represent a valuable resource that can contribute significantly to advancing the understanding of phosphate transport mechanisms and their repercussions in human health. Utilizing SLC17A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, scientists can explore novel therapeutic avenues and better characterize the biological pathways influenced by this key transporter.
