UBE2J1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: UBE2J1

Official Full Name: ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 J1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. This enzyme is located in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and may contribute to quality control ER-associated degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Background

UBE2J1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been genetically engineered to lack the expression of the UBE2J1 gene, which encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme integral to the protein degradation pathways mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. By removing the UBE2J1 gene, researchers can investigate the role of ubiquitin-mediated protein turnover in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and responses to stress. The knockout of UBE2J1 allows for a deeper understanding of its functional role, elucidating its implications in diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and other pathologies where protein homeostasis is disrupted.

The primary mechanism of action involves the disruption of ubiquitin conjugation pathways leading to altered stability of target proteins which are critical regulators of cell behavior. This alteration can be systematically studied through various assays, including Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and cell viability assays, thereby providing insights into novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers.

Scientifically, UBE2J1 gene knockout cell lines are invaluable tools in both fundamental and applied research. In clinical settings, these models can facilitate drug discovery processes by allowing for the screening of compounds that target the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which plays a significant role in the development of pharmacological treatments. Their ability to elucidate the connection between protein degradation and disease states makes them an essential asset for researchers focusing on disease mechanisms.

Compared to traditional overexpression systems or wild-type models, UBE2J1 knockout cell lines offer unparalleled specificity and control, enabling researchers to study the direct implications of UBE2J1 deletion without confounding factors associated with overexpression or functional redundancy. This specificity leads to more reliable and reproducible data that can accelerate research timelines and improve outcomes.

The UBE2J1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines deliver significant value to researchers and clinicians alike, empowering them with the ability to dissect complex biochemical pathways and identify meaningful interventions in disease treatment. Our company is dedicated to providing cutting-edge biological products that facilitate groundbreaking discoveries in molecular biology and medicine, backed by our expertise in genetics and cellular engineering.
