Gene: SLC30A4
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 30 member 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Zinc is the second most abundant trace metal in the human body. It is an essential element, serving both a structural role, as in the formation of zinc fingers in DNA-binding proteins, and a catalytic role in metalloenzymes, such as pancreatic carboxypeptidases (e.g., MIM 114852), alkaline phosphatases (e.g., MIM 171760), various dehydrogenases, and superoxide dismutases (e.g., MIM 147450). SLC30A4, or ZNT4, belongs to the ZNT family of zinc transporters. ZNTs are involved in transporting zinc out of the cytoplasm and have similar structures, consisting of 6 transmembrane domains and a histidine-rich cytoplasmic loop (Huang and Gitschier, 1997 [PubMed 9354792]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

SLC30A4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to study the functions and mechanisms associated with the SLC30A4 gene, which encodes a zinc transporter crucial for maintaining cellular zinc homeostasis. Knockout of the SLC30A4 gene allows researchers to elucidate the physiological roles of zinc in various biological contexts, particularly in neurobiology and metabolic systems where zinc plays pivotal roles as a signaling molecule.
The principal function of these knockout cell lines is to facilitate in-depth investigations into the consequences of disrupted zinc transport, helping to decode the gene's involvement in diseases such as autism spectrum disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic syndromes. The mechanism underlying these effects operates at both cellular and systemic levels, offering insights into how loss of SLC30A4 interferes with zinc homeostasis and contributes to pathological states. Additionally, these cell lines serve as valuable tools for drug screening, enabling the identification of compounds that can modulate zinc signaling pathways effectively.
The scientific importance of SLC30A4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their applications within research laboratories and clinical settings. They contribute to a wealth of knowledge regarding zinc deficiency and its implications for human health, and they enable researchers to develop targeted therapies aimed at correcting zinc imbalances. Compared to traditional cell lines, these knockout models provide a clearer understanding of gene functions and help to reduce the variable results often associated with wild-type cells.
These knockout cell lines distinguish themselves by their specificity, reliability, and ability to be rapidly utilized in various experimental conditions, making them an essential resource for researchers focused on zinc-related biological pathways. Their value is amplified through the ability to model disease states accurately, which is crucial for the advancement of therapeutic strategies.
