The PITPNA gene, also known as phosphatidylinositol transfer protein Alpha, is a member of the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) family and plays a crucial role in lipid signaling and metabolism. The PITPNA gene is located on chromosome 17p13.3 in humans and chromosome 11 B5 in mice. The protein encoded by PITPNA is expressed in various tissues, with higher levels in the retinal pigment epithelium, parotid gland, pons, and specific regions of the skin and brain. One of the main functions of the PITPNA protein is to bind and transfer phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) between cell membrane compartments. This transport process is essential for the synthesis of phosphoinositides, which are key signaling molecules that regulate various cellular activities, including cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Research has shown that the PITPNA gene plays an important role in neural development and function. Mutations or defects in this gene have been associated with a variety of neurological diseases. For example, alterations in PITPNA expression can affect synaptic function and plasticity, which can lead to cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to its neurological importance, PITPNA has been implicated in other physiological processes. The gene has been observed to be involved in regulating insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, highlighting its potential link to metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
Functional Analysis of PITPNA: Knockout of the PITPNA gene in HEK293 cells allows researchers to study the specific functions and mechanisms of the PITPNA protein in cellular processes. By comparing knockout cells to wild-type cells, scientists can elucidate the role of PITPNA in phospholipid metabolism, signal transduction, and intracellular trafficking. Disease Modeling and Drug Discovery: PITPNA has been implicated in a variety of human diseases, including neurological disorders and cancer. The HEK293 PITPNA knockout cell line serves as an in vitro disease model, providing a valuable platform for identifying and testing new therapeutics and understanding the molecular basis of these diseases. Pathway Dissection and Mechanistic Studies: Researchers can dissect the involvement of PITPNA in specific pathways by examining changes in cellular responses, protein interactions, and pathway activation. Genetic Interaction Studies: The HEK293 PITPNA knockout cell line can be used in conjunction with other genetic manipulations to study epistatic relationships and reveal genetic interactions. Validation of Antibodies and Assays: The PITPNA knockout cell line can serve as a negative control in the validation of antibodies, assays, and other experimental tools. This ensures that the tools are specific to PITPNA and helps avoid cross-reactivity and nonspecific binding in the experimental setup.
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.
