Target Gene ME1
Background This gene encodes a cytosolic, NADP-dependent enzyme that generates NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis. The activity of this enzyme, the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of malate, links the glycolytic and citric acid cycles. The regulation of expression for this gene is complex. Increased expression can result from elevated levels of thyroid hormones or by higher proportions of carbohydrates in the diet. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Malate 1 (ME1) is a crucial component of the human biological framework, playing a vital regulatory role under various physiological and pathological conditions. Cytoplasmic malate 1 is essential for NADPH production, a key cofactor in fatty acid biosynthesis and maintaining cellular redox status. ME1 catalyzes the oxidation and decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate, linking the glycolytic and citric acid cycles. Its activity is particularly pronounced in adipogenic tissues and is upregulated in various cancers, promoting rapid cell proliferation and antioxidant defense. At the molecular level, ME1 participates in complex signaling pathways and may function as a metabolic enzyme. Precise regulation of ME1 is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, metabolic flux, and the accurate interpretation of environmental signals. Extensive scientific evidence indicates that aberrant ME1 activity—whether stemming from genomic alterations, transcriptional dysregulation, or post-translational modifications—is closely associated with various human diseases, including tumorigenesis, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic syndrome.

The human ME1 stable cell line Hep G2 is a high-fidelity cell model designed to provide a stable and scalable platform for cutting-edge biomedical research and drug discovery. By stably integrating the human ME1 transgene into the host genome, this product ensures consistent and uniform expression levels, overcoming the inherent limitations of transient transfection, such as large batch-to-batch variability and transfection-induced cellular stress. This phenotypic stability is crucial for executing rigorous long-term experimental protocols and establishing reproducible bioassays that meet the stringent requirements of drug development. The stable human ME1 cell line Hep G2 is an ideal tool for high-throughput screening of various chemical and biological libraries, enabling the identification of novel regulators of ME1 function. In addition to screening, this cell line supports a variety of functional assays, including signal transduction mapping analysis, ligand binding kinetics studies, and phenotypic analyses such as cell viability, migration, and apoptosis.
