Gene: STT3A
Official Full Name: STT3 oligosaccharyltransferase complex catalytic subunit Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a catalytic subunit of the N-oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex, which functions in the endoplasmic reticulum to transfer glycan chains to asparagine residues of target proteins. A separate complex containing a similar catalytic subunit with an overlapping function also exists. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

STT3A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the STT3A gene, a critical component of the oligosaccharyltransferase complex involved in N-glycosylation, is specifically disrupted. This targeted gene knockout results in the inability of these cells to perform the typical glycosylation processes, significantly impacting protein folding, stability, and function. Consequently, STT3A knockout cells are invaluable for studying the role of glycosylation in various disease states, including cancer and congenital disorders related to glycoprotein synthesis.
The primary mechanism underlying the function of STT3A gene knockout cell lines revolves around the alteration of the glycosylation pathway. Without functional STT3A, the cells exhibit altered glycan structures, leading to insights into protein quality control and cellular stress responses. Researchers are able to utilize these unique cell lines to understand how glycosylation affects protein function and cell signaling in different biological contexts. Furthermore, STT3A knockout models provide a platform for developing therapeutic strategies and drug screening for diseases with a glycosylation component.
One of the main advantages of STT3A knockout cell lines compared to alternative models is their ability to accurately replicate specific glycosylation deficiencies, allowing researchers to draw more precise conclusions about glycosylation’s impact on cellular physiology. Additionally, these cell lines can be utilized across diverse experimental setups, from basic cellular biology studies to advanced drug discovery initiatives, providing adaptability that many alternatives lack.
For researchers and clinicians, the introduction of STT3A gene knockout cell lines represents a significant advancement, offering the opportunity to unlock new avenues of therapeutic development and biomarker discovery. By enhancing the understanding of glycoprotein function and its implications in health and disease, this product is poised to make substantial contributions to the field of glycobiology.
