Gene: SLC22A5
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 22 member 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Polyspecific organic cation transporters in the liver, kidney, intestine, and other organs are critical for elimination of many endogenous small organic cations as well as a wide array of drugs and environmental toxins. The encoded protein is a plasma integral membrane protein which functions both as an organic cation transporter and as a sodium-dependent high affinity carnitine transporter. The encoded protein is involved in the active cellular uptake of carnitine. Mutations in this gene are the cause of systemic primary carnitine deficiency (CDSP), an autosomal recessive disorder manifested early in life by hypoketotic hypoglycemia and acute metabolic decompensation, and later in life by skeletal myopathy or cardiomyopathy. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

SLC22A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge bioresearch tool designed for the targeted study of the SLC22A5 gene, which encodes the solute carrier family 22 member 5 (also known as OCTN2). This gene plays a pivotal role in the transport of carnitine, a crucial molecule involved in cellular fatty acid metabolism and energy production. The knockout of SLC22A5 in these cell lines effectively eliminates the expression of OCTN2, thereby allowing researchers to elucidate the gene's functional contributions and explore its implications in various metabolic disorders, including systemic primary carnitine deficiency.
The primary function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide a controlled environment for studying the mechanistic pathways influenced by the absence of the SLC22A5 gene. By comparing physiological and metabolic parameters between knockout and wild-type cell lines, investigators can gain insights into the role of carnitine transport in cellular health, pharmacokinetics, and disease progression. The applications of these cell lines extend broadly, from basic research and drug discovery to the investigation of genetic conditions and therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic dysregulation.
A significant advantage of using SLC22A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines over traditional methods is the specificity and reproducibility they offer in experimental design. These cell lines eliminate the variable effects of gene overexpression or nonspecific inhibition, thereby enhancing data integrity and clarity. Additionally, the knockouts facilitate high-throughput screening, paving the way for the accelerated identification of novel drug candidates that may interact with metabolic pathways mediated by carnitine transport.
For researchers and clinicians engaged in genetic, metabolic, or pharmaceutical research, these cell lines are invaluable. They not only support the advancement of understanding complex biological processes but also hold potential for developing targeted interventions that can transform treatment paradigms.
