The GALT gene, also known as galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, is essential for human metabolism. Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase catalyzes a step in the metabolic pathway that breaks down galactose into glucose and other molecules that the body can use. Specifically, the enzyme converts galactose-1-phosphate into glucose-1-phosphate. The resulting glucose is the main energy source for cells. In addition, the process produces UDP-galactose, an essential molecule for the production of galactose-containing proteins and fats. These modified proteins and fats play an integral role in cell communication, structural integrity, molecular transport, and energy production. Alterations or mutations in the GALT gene are associated with a metabolic disorder known as classic galactosemia. To date, more than 300 GALT gene mutations have been identified in individuals with classic galactosemia. The disorder appears shortly after birth and presents life-threatening symptoms due to the body's inability to process galactose effectively. This mutation often severely reduces or eliminates the activity of the galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, leading to a toxic buildup of galactose-1-phosphate and related compounds in the body that damages tissues and organs.
Applications of Human GALT Knockout Cell Line-HEK293T Galactose Metabolism Research: The main application of Human GALT Knockout Cell Line-HEK293T is to study galactose metabolism. The GALT gene encodes an enzyme that is essential for galactose metabolism. Disruption of this gene can help researchers understand metabolic pathways and their impacts. Galactosemia Disease Modeling: Human GALT Knockout Cell Line is an important tool to model galactosemia, a genetic disease caused by deficiency of the GALT enzyme. By using this cell line, researchers can study the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind the disease and screen potential therapeutic agents. Drug Development and Screening: Researchers can use Human GALT Knockout Cell Line-HEK293T for high-throughput screening of drugs. This cell line can be used to test the efficacy of compounds in compensating for the loss of GALT activity or alleviating the metabolic imbalance caused by its knockout. Biochemical Pathway Analysis: These cell lines help to study the effects of GALT gene knockout on biochemical pathways in detail. Researchers can explore how GALT loss affects various cellular processes and identify potential biomarkers of metabolic dysfunction.
Customer Q&As
What is the recommended growth medium? Does it require antibiotic selection?

A: DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
It is not required to add the selection antibiotics when culturing the KO cells.

How is the knockout cell line validated?

A: The knockout cell product is validated by PCR amplification and Sanger Sequencing to confirm the mutation at the genomic level. Please find the detailed mutation info in the datasheet.

Is the product a single clonal cell or mixed cell pool?

A: Single clonal cell.

Can I confirm gene knockout by RT-qPCR?

A: No. This knockout cell product is generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to induce small insertions or deletions (indels) resulting in frameshift mutations. Although these frameshift mutations typically disrupt the coding gene, there is a possibility that the non-functional transcript may still be transcribed. Consequently, this could potentially yield misleading results when analyzed by RT-qPCR.

How can I store the cell product?

A: The cell line should be stored in liquid nitrogen for long-term preservation.

Is it possible to get multiple knockout clones for my GOI?

A: For most cases, we often keep at least 2 clones with different frameshift mutations. Please feel free to contact us to check if there are additional available clones.
