Gene: TKTL1
Official Full Name: transketolase like 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a transketolase that acts as a homodimer and catalyzes the conversion of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-xylulose 5-phosphate. This reaction links the pentose phosphate pathway with the glycolytic pathway. Variations in this gene may be the cause of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

TKTL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced biological models designed specifically to explore the functional roles of the TKTL1 gene in cellular metabolism and disease processes. These genetically engineered cell lines have been crafted using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to achieve a precise knockout of the TKTL1 gene, enabling researchers to study the effects of its absence on various cellular pathways.
The primary function of TKTL1 is associated with the regulation of metabolic pathways, particularly in cancer cells, where it modifies glucose metabolism to promote proliferation and survival. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, scientists can investigate the underlying mechanisms by which TKTL1 influences metabolic reprogramming, providing critical insights into cancer biology. The modulation of this gene is linked to altered cellular energy homeostasis and can thus serve as a potential therapeutic target.
These cell lines hold significant scientific importance and possess applications in both research and clinical settings. They provide a platform for drug screening, biomarker discovery, and elucidation of metabolic disturbances in diverse conditions, particularly in tumor microenvironments. Researchers can leverage these models to evaluate the effects of both novel and existing therapeutic agents on TKTL1-deficient cells, thereby advancing the development of targeted therapies.
What sets our TKTL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional models is their high fidelity in gene editing and robust performance in metabolic assays. They are rigorously validated for consistent knockout efficiency and phenotypic stability, ensuring reliable results. Additionally, these cell lines can be adapted for high-throughput screening, enabling faster data acquisition and analysis in complex research scenarios.
For researchers and clinicians, the availability of these specialized cell lines introduces a valuable tool for dissecting the complex interplay of metabolism and disease, ultimately guiding therapeutic innovation and improving patient outcomes.
