Gene: SMPD4
Official Full Name: sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a sphingomyelinase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane sphingomyelin to form phosphorylcholine and ceramide. This gene is activated by DNA damage, cellular stress, and tumor necrosis factor, but it is downregulated by wild-type p53. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi network. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

SMPD4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 4 (SMPD4) gene, which is critical for understanding sphingolipid metabolism and its implications in various biological processes. These cell lines provide a unique tool for researchers studying the biochemical pathways linked to lipid metabolism disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and certain cancers, thereby aiding in the exploration of potential therapeutic interventions.
The key functions of SMPD4 gene knockout cell lines stem from their ability to elucidate the role of SMPD4 in the biosynthesis and regulation of sphingomyelin and other bioactive sphingolipids. By comparing these knockout models with wild-type counterparts, researchers can investigate alterations in cellular signaling pathways, membrane dynamics, and metabolic processes. This mechanism opens up avenues for studying how the absence of SMPD4 affects cellular functions such as apoptosis, proliferation, and cell senescence.
The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to applications in both research and clinical settings. They enable the study of SMPD4-related pathologies, providing vital insights into diseases such as Niemann-Pick disease and other lipid storage disorders. Furthermore, the utility of these knockout models in high-throughput drug screening and validation assays can facilitate the discovery of novel pharmacological agents targeting lipid metabolism.
Compared to alternative cell line models, the SMPD4 gene knockout cell lines represent a more precise approach to the dissection of SMPD4's biological functions, eliminating confounding variables associated with incomplete gene silencing. This specificity significantly enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes, thereby offering a stronger foundation for hypothesis-driven research.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, the value of SMPD4 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide clear insights into complex lipid-related diseases and the development of targeted therapies. By investing in these cell lines, users are empowered to accelerate their research efforts and contribute to advancements in medical science.
