Info
| Catalogue Number | 160706 |
| Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | SDHD |
| Parental Line | HEK293 |
| Synonyms | HEK293ΔSDHD |
| Host | Human |
| Disease Keywords | Mitochondrial disease; complex II deficiency; Paraganglioma |
| Model | Knock-Out |
| Relevance |
The HEK293ΔSDHD cell line expresses a CRISPR/Cas9 mutated nuclear encoded subunit, SDHD, of mitochondrial complex II (succinate dehydrogenase). This cell line has been shown to significantly alter the function of complex II (CII) of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and displays disruptions to SDHD that mimic clinical presentations of CII deficiency. These cells represent a powerful model of metabolic pathologies, not only for mitochondrial disease, but also for understanding the importance of CII in developing novel therapeutics. Specific disruptions in SDHD have been reported to present clinically as the following disease conditions: -Complex II deficiency -Paraganglioma |
| Production Details | The cell line is currently stored at Virginia Tech. |
| Research Area | Cancer, Drug Discovery & Development, Metabolism |
| Growth/Phenotype Keywords | The mutant has been shown to grow much slower than the parental cell line. The doubling time of the mutant is also significantly slower than that of the parental line. |
| Recommended Growing Conditions | DMEM medium supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin at 37ºC temperature and 5-6% CO2. |
| Positive Control | HEK293 parental line |
