Gene: SPTSSB
Official Full Name: serine palmitoyltransferase small subunit Bprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT; EC 2.3.1.50) catalyzes the first committed and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. SSSPTB is a small SPT subunit that stimulates SPT activity and confers acyl-CoA preference to the SPT catalytic heterodimer of SPTLC1 (MIM 605712) and either SPTLC2 (MIM 605713) or SPTLC3 (MIM 611120) (Han et al., 2009 [PubMed 19416851]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]

SPTSSB Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to study the functional roles of the SPTSSB gene, which encodes for the serine palmitoyltransferase, a crucial enzyme involved in sphingolipid biosynthesis. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines have had the SPTSSB gene effectively knocked out, allowing researchers to observe resultant phenotypic changes and elucidate the biological pathways influenced by altered sphingolipid metabolism.
The primary function of SPTSSB Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to provide a model for studying the implications of SPTSSB deficiency on cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. This model facilitates an examination of the cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the synthesis of sphingolipids, which are integral to membrane structure and cell signaling. Through these cell lines, researchers can conduct experiments that explore how disruptions in sphingolipid metabolism may contribute to various diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
The scientific importance of these knockout cell lines extends into both research and clinical applications. They serve as advanced tools for pharmacological studies, enabling scientists to test novel therapeutics targeting sphingolipid-related pathways. Moreover, they can enhance our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of diseases characterized by altered sphingolipid levels.
One of the standout advantages of SPTSSB Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reproducibility in functional studies compared to traditional siRNA approaches, which can yield off-target effects and variable knockdown efficiency. They offer a stable genetic model for long-term studies, ensuring consistent results across multiple experiments.
This product is invaluable for researchers looking to delve deeper into the roles of sphingolipids in health and disease, as the precise manipulation of the SPTSSB gene allows for unparalleled insights into metabolic pathways. By utilizing these cell lines, users can accelerate their research and discovery processes, providing a clearer understanding of complex biological interactions.
