Gene: SMPD1
Official Full Name: sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

SMPD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are innovative cellular models engineered to specifically delete the SMPD1 gene, which encodes the enzyme sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1). This enzyme plays a critical role in sphingolipid metabolism, particularly in the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to produce ceramide, a signaling molecule implicated in various cellular processes, including apoptosis and cell growth. The knockout of SMPD1 provides researchers with a powerful tool to investigate the downstream effects of disrupted sphingolipid metabolism, facilitating the exploration of pathways associated with various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic syndromes.
The functionality of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic the physiological conditions of SMPD1 deficiency, allowing for the study of altered cellular signaling and behavior. Researchers can analyze changes in lipid profiles, cellular growth patterns, and response to stressors, enabling a deeper understanding of the role of sphingolipids in health and disease.
The scientific importance of SMPD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their diverse applications in research and clinical settings. They are particularly valuable for studying diseases linked to aberrations in sphingolipid metabolism, such as Niemann-Pick disease and certain types of cancer. These models also serve as platforms for drug discovery and the development of therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring normal sphingolipid homeostasis.
A distinct advantage of these cell lines compared to other models is their specificity and cost-effectiveness, facilitating high-throughput screening and reducing the complexity of experimental designs. Furthermore, by integrating genomic editing technology, these knockout cell lines provide reproducible and reliable data, enhancing research outcomes.
Researchers and clinicians seeking to unravel the complexities of sphingolipid metabolism will find SMPD1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines to be an invaluable resource. They contribute significantly to the advancement of our understanding of related pathologies, enabling the development of targeted therapies and novel treatment strategies.
