TGM1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TGM1

Official Full Name: transglutaminase 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that catalyzes the addition of an alkyl group from an akylamine to a glutamine residue of a protein, forming an alkylglutamine in the protein. This protein alkylation leads to crosslinking of proteins and catenation of polyamines to proteins. This gene contains either one or two copies of a 22 nt repeat unit in its 3' UTR. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis (LI) and nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

TGM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell models that have been genetically engineered to lack the expression of the transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene. This gene is critical for catalyzing protein cross-linking through transamidation processes, primarily in the epidermis. By eliminating TGM1 expression, these cell lines provide a valuable platform for researchers aiming to study the underlying mechanisms of skin disorders, such as lamellar ichthyosis or other keratinization defects, associated with TGM1 dysfunction.

The key functionality of TGM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic specific pathological conditions, enabling detailed investigation of cellular responses to various stimuli, treatments, or genetic modifications. Mechanistically, the absence of TGM1 disrupts normal keratinocyte differentiation and lipid barrier formation, serving as an important model for understanding how the lack of this enzyme contributes to skin integrity issues and impacts overall epidermal health.

Scientifically, these cell lines hold significant relevance in both research and clinical environments. Researchers can utilize them to screen potential therapeutic compounds, assess gene therapies, or explore protein interactions in the context of skin biology. In clinical settings, understanding TGM1's role may lead to more targeted treatments for individuals suffering from conditions related to keratinization disorders.

One key advantage of TGM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reliability compared to transiently modified cells, which may present inconsistent results. This stability enhances the reproducibility of experimental outcomes, making them a superior choice for long-term studies. Additionally, the availability of these knockout models allows for greater exploration of the mechanisms of disease, improving the potential for developing innovative therapies.

Ultimately, TGM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a powerful tool for advancing our understanding of dermatological conditions at a molecular level, thereby contributing to the scientific community's efforts toward innovative treatment approaches. Our company specializes in providing high-quality, genetically modified cell lines that facilitate cutting-edge research, ensuring that researchers and clinicians have access to reliable and effective tools for their investigations.
