TST Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TST

Official Full Name: thiosulfate sulfurtransferaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This is one of two neighboring genes encoding similar proteins that each contain two rhodanese domains. The encoded protein is localized to the mitochondria and catalyzes the conversion of thiosulfate and cyanide to thiocyanate and sulfite. In addition, the protein interacts with 5S ribosomal RNA and facilitates its import into the mitochondria. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Background

TST Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the TST (Thiosulfate Sulfurtransferase) gene, crucial for studying sulfur metabolism and its associated pathways in various biological contexts. These knockout cell lines provide a sandbox for researchers to investigate the functional consequences of TST deficiency, revealing insights into metabolic disorders, neurodegeneration, and cancer biology, where sulfur metabolism plays a pivotal role.

The mechanism of action centers around the targeted disruption of the TST gene via CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which ensures the precise alteration of the genome. This genetic modification allows for the observation and analysis of cellular behavior in the absence of TST, including changes in metabolic flux, redox status, and the response to oxidative stress. Such observations enable researchers to elucidate the physiological roles that TST serves within the cell, establishing a clearer understanding of its function in health and disease.

In the realm of scientific importance, TST Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer invaluable tools for both basic and applied research, supporting investigations into drug development and therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring normal sulfur metabolism. Their applications extend to drug screening platforms and can significantly contribute to the identification of novel biomarkers relevant to diseases tied to TST dysfunction.

When compared to alternative cell models, our TST Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their robust validation, reproducible results, and ease of integration into existing laboratory workflows. The specificity of the knockout allows researchers to confidently attribute observed phenotypic changes directly to the loss of TST activity, thus enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes.

Researchers and clinicians benefit immensely from utilizing these cell lines as they enable groundbreaking research that can catalyze innovations in drug development and disease treatment. Our commitment to quality and advanced genome editing technology positions us as a leader in providing tools that empower scientists to advance their work in molecular and cellular biology.

Cultivated with expertise, our TST Gene Knockout Cell Lines exemplify a high-performance research product, meticulously designed to elevate your research efforts and enhance the discovery of transformative therapeutic interventions.
