Gene: UGT1A
Official Full Name: UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A complex locusprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This RefSeq represents a complex locus that encodes several UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. The locus includes thirteen unique alternate first exons followed by four common exons. Four of the alternate first exons are considered pseudogenes. Each of the remaining nine 5' exons may be spliced to the four common exons, resulting in nine proteins with different N-termini and identical C-termini. Each first exon encodes the substrate binding site, and is regulated by its own promoter. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

UGT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the study of the UGT1A gene family, known for its pivotal role in drug metabolism and the biotransformation of xenobiotics. These cell lines have been constructed using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to knockout specific UGT1A genes, providing a platform for researchers to investigate the functional consequences of gene loss on drug pharmacokinetics and toxicity.
The UGT1A family encompasses several isoforms, each responsible for the glucuronidation process, which conjugates glucuronic acid to various substrates. By employing these knockout cell lines, scientists can elucidate mechanisms of drug interactions, delineate metabolic pathways, and assess the impact of genetic variations on drug efficacy and safety. This capability is invaluable in preclinical drug development and toxicology studies, as it aids in the identification of potential adverse drug reactions prior to clinical trials.
Compared to traditional cell lines, UGT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more precise model for examining drug responses due to their specific genetic modifications. They eliminate baseline UGT1A enzyme activity, allowing for clearer interpretation of results when assessing the effect of drugs and their metabolites. This specificity enhances the reliability of experimental data, making them indispensable for researchers focused on personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics.
For researchers and clinicians, these knockout cell lines open avenues for innovative studies that could lead to better therapeutic practices, particularly in the realm of precision medicine. By accurately mimicking human metabolic processes, UGT1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines facilitate breakthroughs in understanding drug interactions and improve drug development efficiency.
