TPMT Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TPMT

Official Full Name: thiopurine S-methyltransferaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the enzyme that metabolizes thiopurine drugs via S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the S-methyl donor and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine as a byproduct. Thiopurine drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine are used as chemotherapeutic agents. Genetic polymorphisms that affect this enzymatic activity are correlated with variations in sensitivity and toxicity to such drugs within individuals, causing thiopurine S-methyltransferase deficiency. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 3, 18 and X. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

Background

TPMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have been designed to lack the Thiopurine Methyltransferase (TPMT) gene, which encodes an enzyme crucial for the metabolism of thiopurine drugs. By eliminating TPMT expression, these cell lines provide a robust model for studying drug metabolism, toxicity, and resistance mechanisms associated with thiopurine therapy. They facilitate the investigation of the pharmacogenomics of thiopurine drugs such as azathioprine and mercaptopurine, which are widely used in immunosuppressive therapies and the treatment of various malignancies.

The primary function of these cell lines is to create a controlled experimental environment in which researchers can evaluate the effects of thiopurine drugs without the influence of TPMT-mediated metabolism. By employing these knockout models, scientists can rigorously assess drug efficacy, explore alternative metabolic pathways, and identify potential therapeutic targets, thereby enhancing drug development strategies and personalizing treatments based on genetic predispositions.

In the realm of scientific research and clinical applications, TPMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold significant value. They allow for nuanced studies into interindividual variability in drug response, paving the way for more tailored and effective treatment regimens. Moreover, this model can aid in the identification of adverse drug reactions and improve patient safety by predicting reactions based on genetic makeup.

What sets TPMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional cell lines is their unparalleled specificity in mimicking the pharmacogenomic aspects of thiopurine drugs. Researchers benefit from their reproducibility and reliability, translating to better-quality data and faster insights into patient responses. Furthermore, by using these cell lines, researchers can streamline the drug screening process, ultimately shortening the time from bench to bedside.

Our company boasts extensive expertise in genetic modifications and cell line development, ensuring that our TPMT Gene Knockout Cell Lines are of the highest quality, with precise knockout integrity and consistent performance across studies. This product is an invaluable asset for advancing research, improving clinical outcomes, and driving innovation in pharmacogenomic applications.
