SURF1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SURF1

Official Full Name: SURF1 cytochrome c oxidase assembly factorprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and thought to be involved in the biogenesis of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The protein is a member of the SURF1 family, which includes the related yeast protein SHY1 and rickettsial protein RP733. The gene is located in the surfeit gene cluster, a group of very tightly linked genes that do not share sequence similarity, where it shares a bidirectional promoter with SURF2 on the opposite strand. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that is commonly associated with systemic cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

SURF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are a specialized collection of genetically modified cell lines where the SURF1 gene, which encodes the Surfactant Protein of Complex I, has been disrupted. This deletion enables researchers to study the physiological and pathological roles of SURF1 in cellular metabolism and its implications in mitochondrial disorders. These cell lines are engineered to exhibit complete loss of SURF1 function, allowing for an unparalleled investigation into the mechanisms by which this protein influences mitochondrial respiratory function, cellular energy production, and apoptosis pathways.

The primary function of SURF1 involves its role in the assembly of cytochrome c oxidase, a critical component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively elucidate the consequences of SURF1 deficiency on mitochondrial activity and related metabolic pathways. Furthermore, the lack of SURF1 enables the exploration of potential therapeutic avenues to address diseases associated with mitochondrial dysregulation, such as Leigh syndrome and other hereditary mitochondrial conditions.

In scientific and clinical research settings, SURF1 gene knockout cell lines hold significant importance as they provide a versatile platform for drug discovery, disease modeling, and therapeutic intervention. Their ability to mimic specific disease states presents an invaluable resource for understanding mitochondrial biogenesis and function, while also offering potential targets for novel treatment strategies.

What sets these knockout cell lines apart from alternatives is our commitment to quality and reproducibility. Each line is rigorously validated to ensure consistent and reliable performance, thereby minimizing variability often encountered with conventional biological models. This enables researchers to generate robust data and draw meaningful conclusions, facilitating advancement in mitochondrial research.

By choosing SURF1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians gain access to a powerful tool that not only enhances their understanding of mitochondrial biology but also accelerates the development of therapies for mitochondrial diseases. Our company prides itself on its expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards in the field, dedicated to fostering scientific innovation and excellence.
