Gene: SLC43A2
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 43 member 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the L-amino acid transporter-3 or SLC43 family of transporters. The encoded protein mediates sodium-, chloride-, and pH-independent transport of L-isomers of neutral amino acids, including leucine, phenylalanine, valine and methionine. This protein may contribute to the transfer of amino acids across the placental membrane to the fetus. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

SLC43A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been genetically modified to disrupt the function of the SLC43A2 gene, which encodes a transport protein involved in the uptake of amino acids, particularly L-tryptophan. By creating a knockout of this gene, researchers can precisely investigate the metabolic and signaling pathways influenced by the absence of SLC43A2, providing unparalleled insights into cellular metabolism and the pathophysiology of diseases linked to amino acid transport dysregulation.
These cell lines function by lacking the functional SLC43A2 protein, which allows scientists to study the effects on cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, and response to external stimuli, especially in the context of cancer, neural disorders, and immune responses. Silencing this gene can result in altered tryptophan metabolism, which is critical for serotonin production and immune modulation, thereby offering a unique platform to explore therapeutic interventions.
The scientific significance of these knockout cell lines cannot be overstated. They serve as vital tools in drug discovery and development, enabling researchers to identify potential therapeutic targets for disorders related to amino acid transport, such as autism spectrum disorders and certain types of cancer. These models facilitate a more profound understanding of the cellular implications of SLC43A2 dysfunction, contributing to advancements in personalized medicine and targeted therapies.
When compared to other gene knockout models, SLC43A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages. They provide efficient and effective isolation of the specific gene's effects without the confounding variables that other models might introduce. Furthermore, the precise nature of these knockout lines allows for reproducible results that are critical in preclinical studies.
For researchers and clinicians, these specialized cell lines are invaluable for their ability to mimic human physiological conditions, thus bridging the gap between basic research and clinical applications. They promise enhanced accuracy in experimental outcomes, driving innovation in understanding and treating disorders linked to amino acid transport.
