UGDH Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: UGDH

Official Full Name: UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene converts UDP-glucose to UDP-glucuronate and thereby participates in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfate, and heparan sulfate. These glycosylated compounds are common components of the extracellular matrix and likely play roles in signal transduction, cell migration, and cancer growth and metastasis. The expression of this gene is up-regulated by transforming growth factor beta and down-regulated by hypoxia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Background

UGDH Gene Knockout Cell Lines are meticulously engineered cellular models designed to eliminate the metabolic enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGDH), a crucial player in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and interactions with various drug-metabolizing pathways. By knocking out the UGDH gene, these cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool to study the physiological and pathological roles of UGDH, as well as its implications in drug metabolism and disease mechanisms such as cancer and metabolic disorders.

The key function of UGDH Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to offer insight into the absence of UGDH activity, thereby facilitating investigations into alternative pathways and compensatory mechanisms that may arise in its absence. This gene knockout approach utilizes CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which ensures precise editing and retention of genetic integrity for reproducible results. The resultant cell lines serve as pivotal models for studying UGDH's contributions to cellular functions, signaling pathways, and responses to pharmacological agents.

Scientifically, these cell lines have significant implications in both research and clinical settings. Their ability to provide a deeper understanding of UGDH’s role can assist in drug discovery processes, especially in identifying potential drug interactions that arise from altered UGDH activity. Moreover, they are invaluable for toxicological studies, enabling researchers to evaluate the impact of compounds on physiological processes without the influence of UGDH.

Compared to traditional models, our UGDH Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their high specificity, reliability, and ease of use, considerably reducing time and resources spent on generating such models from scratch. Researchers and clinicians benefit from our optimized protocols and support, ensuring a smooth integration of these cell lines into existing experimental workflows.

Ultimately, UGDH Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a leap forward in biological research, enhancing our understanding of UGDH-related processes and disease mechanisms. Our company’s extensive expertise in gene editing technologies and commitment to advancing scientific knowledge ensure that we offer high-quality products that empower the scientific community.
