SLC25A21 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SLC25A21

Official Full Name: solute carrier family 25 member 21provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: SLC25A21 is a homolog of the S. cerevisiae ODC proteins, mitochondrial carriers that transport C5-C7 oxodicarboxylates across inner mitochondrial membranes. One of the species transported by ODC is 2-oxoadipate, a common intermediate in the catabolism of lysine, tryptophan, and hydroxylysine in mammals. Within mitochondria, 2-oxoadipate is converted into acetyl-CoA.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]

Background

SLC25A21 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cells designed to lack the expression of the SLC25A21 gene, which encodes a mitochondrial carrier protein involved in the transport of essential metabolites across the mitochondrial membrane. By providing researchers with a tool to study the effects of SLC25A21 deficiency, these cell lines facilitate an in-depth understanding of mitochondrial dysfunction and its implications in various diseases.

The key function of SLC25A21 is to regulate the exchange of metabolites such as succinate and oxaloacetate, critical for cellular energy metabolism and metabolic signaling pathways. Through the knockout of this gene, researchers can investigate the cascading effects on mitochondrial efficiency, bioenergetics, and the overall metabolic landscape of the cell. This can significantly elucidate the roles of mitochondrial carriers in cellular health and disease.

Scientifically, the SLC25A21 knockout cell lines hold considerable importance in both basic research and clinical applications. Their utility extends to studies on metabolic disorders, cancer biology, and neurodegenerative diseases, revealing potential therapeutic targets and biomarker discovery. As understanding mitochondrial function becomes increasingly relevant in disease pathology, these cell lines provide a valuable model system for translational research.

Compared to alternative models, SLC25A21 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer enhanced specificity and versatility, allowing for more precise investigations into mitochondrial dysfunction compared to traditional methods that may rely on less refined techniques, such as pharmacological inhibition. Their use supports higher reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes, which are critical in scientific investigations.

For researchers and clinicians, the ability to conduct focused studies on the metabolic repercussions of SLC25A21 deficiency is invaluable in developing innovative therapeutic strategies. By choosing these knockout cell lines, users gain access to a powerful resource that accelerates the pace of discovery in mitochondrial biology.

Manufactured by a leading company specializing in gene editing and cell line development, our product offering includes comprehensive technical support and a commitment to quality, ensuring researchers can achieve their objectives with confidence.
