Gene: STARD8
Official Full Name: StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 8provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of Rho GTPase activating proteins that contain a steroidogenic acute regulatory protein related lipid transfer domain. The encoded protein localizes to focal adhesions and may be involved in regulating cell morphology. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

STARD8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to help researchers investigate the biological functions of the STARD8 gene, which encodes a protein implicated in lipid metabolism and cellular signaling pathways. By employing the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines have had the STARD8 gene selectively disrupted, allowing for comprehensive studies on the gene's role in various physiological and pathological processes.
The primary function of STARD8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide a clear insight into the consequences of STARD8 gene depletion. Researchers can assess cellular responses including changes in lipid profile, alterations in metabolic activity, and the impact on cell proliferation and differentiation. The mechanisms underlying these changes can be further elucidated through various assays designed to study gene expression, signaling cascades, and metabolic pathways, thereby paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies targeting lipid-related disorders.
Scientific applications of STARD8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extend beyond basic research. In clinical settings, these models are invaluable for understanding diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and certain types of cancer, where lipid metabolism plays a crucial role. By dissecting the role of STARD8, these cells provide a platform for drug discovery and can help identify potential biomarkers for disease progression and treatment response.
The unique selling points of STARD8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their high specificity, reproducibility, and compatibility with various cell types, allowing researchers to generate reliable data across multiple experiments. Unlike conventional methods, which may rely on pharmacological inhibitors or other indirect approaches, these knockout cell lines present a direct method to assess the biological impact of STARD8 gene deletion.
Researchers and clinicians will find value in these cell lines, not only as a powerful research tool but also as a means to translate findings into clinically relevant applications. The ability to manipulate the STARD8 gene presents an opportunity to understand disease mechanisms at a fundamental level, enabling targeted interventions in lipid metabolism disorders.
