Gene: XYLT1
Official Full Name: xylosyltransferase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This locus encodes a xylosyltransferase enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes transfer of UDP-xylose to serine residues of an acceptor protein substrate. This transfer reaction is necessary for biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan chains. Mutations in this gene have been associated with increased severity of pseudoxanthoma elasticum.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

XYLT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models designed to elucidate the function of the XYLT1 gene, which encodes an important enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycans. By employing the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these knockout cell lines facilitate the precise removal of the XYLT1 gene, enabling researchers to investigate the various biological processes that are influenced by this gene’s activity.
The key function of the XYLT1 knockout model is its ability to disrupt the normal synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, particularly heparan sulfate chains, which play critical roles in cell signaling, development, and tissue homeostasis. The resulting alterations in cellular behavior and extracellular matrix composition provide insight into the molecular pathways governed by XYLT1, allowing for a deeper understanding of diseases where heparan sulfate dysregulation is implicated, such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and developmental anomalies.
In both research and clinical settings, the XYLT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as essential tools for drug discovery, biomarker identification, and mechanistic studies. Their value lies in their capacity to model human diseases accurately, providing a closer approximation to in vivo conditions than conventional cell lines. Moreover, these knockout models can be employed in high-throughput screening assays to identify therapeutic candidates that may restore normal function or mitigate the harmful effects related to XYLT1 deficiency.
Compared to alternative cell line models, the XYLT1 knockout demonstrates superior specificity in targeting the phenotypic changes linked to the absence of the XYLT1 gene, thereby reducing background noise that may arise from off-target effects. This specificity gives researchers confidence in their findings and enhances the reproducibility of experimental results.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies, the XYLT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource. They provide a robust platform for not only unraveling the intricate roles of glycosaminoglycans in health and disease but also for fostering innovative therapeutic strategies.
