Gene: SLC52A1
Official Full Name: solute carrier family 52 member 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Biological redox reactions require electron donors and acceptor. Vitamin B2 is the source for the flavin in flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) which are common redox reagents. This gene encodes a member of the riboflavin (vitamin B2) transporter family. Haploinsufficiency of this protein can cause maternal riboflavin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

SLC52A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell models that lack functional SLC52A1 gene expression, which encodes the human solute carrier family 52, member 1, a critical player in riboflavin transport. By eliminating the SLC52A1 gene, these cell lines provide a powerful tool for studying the physiological and pathological roles of riboflavin and its transport mechanisms. The key functions of the SLC52A1 gene include the uptake of riboflavin from the extracellular environment, essential for various cellular metabolic processes, including those related to energy production and antioxidant defenses.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines lies in their application in research focused on diseases related to riboflavin deficiency, such as various inherited metabolic disorders and peripheral neuropathies. Researchers can utilize these models to elucidate the biochemical pathways involved in riboflavin metabolism and to probe the underlying mechanisms of disorders that stem from mutations in the SLC52A1 gene. This is particularly valuable for screen therapeutic interventions targeting riboflavin metabolism or developing gene therapies.
What sets our SLC52A1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their precise genomic editing, which ensures complete knockout confirmation at both the DNA and protein levels. This level of specificity enhances experimental reproducibility and reliability, giving researchers confidence in their findings. Moreover, these cell lines are easy to culture, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of laboratories.
For researchers and clinicians, the ability to study SLC52A1-related pathways with these knockout models is invaluable in understanding riboflavin's role in health and disease. Investing in these cell lines not only accelerates research but also opens doors to new therapeutic strategies in metabolic diseases.
