ZDHHC8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ZDHHC8

Official Full Name: zDHHC palmitoyltransferase 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a four transmembrane protein that is a member of the zinc finger DHHC domain-containing protein family. The encoded protein may function as a palmitoyltransferase. Defects in this gene may be associated with a susceptibility to schizophrenia. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 22.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Background

ZDHHC8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized genetic models engineered to specifically disrupt the expression of the ZDHHC8 gene. This gene encodes a member of a family of palmitoyl transferases, which are key in the post-translational modification of proteins via the addition of palmitic acid. By elucidating the functions and pathways associated with ZDHHC8, these knockout cell lines serve as a crucial tool for researchers investigating protein modification processes and their implications in various biological systems.

The fundamental mechanism involves the use of CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing technology to create a precise knockout, allowing for the assessment of the effects of ZDHHC8 loss on cellular behavior and signaling pathways. This specific alteration provides insights into the role of palmitoylation in processes such as cell signaling, membrane localization, and protein stability. Researchers utilizing these cell lines can conduct experiments to observe changes in gene expression, protein interactions, and overall cellular responses, making them invaluable for studies focused on neurodegenerative diseases, cancer biology, and metabolic disorders where ZDHHC8 is thought to play a significant role.

The scientific importance of ZDHHC8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both academic and clinical research settings. By offering direct evidence of gene function through loss-of-function studies, these models aid in deciphering the pathological roles of dysregulated ZDHHC8 in human diseases, thereby paving the way for potential therapeutic interventions.
