Gene: ST3GAL5
Official Full Name: ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Ganglioside GM3 is known to participate in the induction of cell differentiation, modulation of cell proliferation, maintenance of fibroblast morphology, signal transduction, and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein which catalyzes the formation of GM3 using lactosylceramide as the substrate. The encoded protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29 and may be localized to the Golgi apparatus. Mutation in this gene has been associated with Amish infantile epilepsy syndrome. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ST3GAL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines designed to facilitate the precise study of the ST3GAL5 gene, which is responsible for encoding the enzyme involved in the synthesis of specific glycosphingolipids. These cell lines are created through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring targeted deletion of the ST3GAL5 gene to elucidate its functional roles in cellular processes and pathologies.
The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in the abolition of ST3GAL5 activity, allowing researchers to investigate the consequences on cellular behavior, signaling pathways, and overall metabolism. The loss of this gene's expression can drastically alter glycosylation patterns, impacting cell adhesion, migration, and immune recognition. In the context of cancer research, understanding the role of ST3GAL5 in tumor progression and metastasis becomes essential, as glycosphingolipids play critical roles in tumor biology.
Scientifically, ST3GAL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide significant applications in both fundamental and translational research. They serve as powerful tools for studying glycan-mediated interactions, potentially leading to breakthroughs in targeting cancers and designing novel therapeutic strategies. The utility of these knockout lines extends to drug development, where they can be employed to assess how modifications in glycosylation influence drug efficacy and resistance.
Compared to conventional methods, the ST3GAL5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer increased specificity and efficiency in gene targeting, enabling researchers to obtain consistent and reliable results. Unlike transient transfection strategies, which can yield heterogeneous cell populations, these knockout lines provide homogenous model systems that enhance experimental reproducibility.
For researchers and clinicians alike, the value of these cell lines is paramount, as they open avenues for new discovery in disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Their precise creation and the wealth of data they can yield make them indispensable in the toolbox of molecular and cellular biology.
