GlycoErase™ GBE1 Knockout HEK293T Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF514)

Description	GlycoErase™ GBE1 knockout HEK293T cell line is a HEK293T model in which GBE1 has been removed. GBE1 encodes the glycogen branching enzyme that introduces α-1,6 linkages, ensuring glycogen solubility and storage efficiency. Deficiency leads to Andersen's disease (glycogen storage disease IV). The knockout supports analysis of glycogen architecture, solubility, and osmotic balance in a human system, offering a platform for therapeutic discovery in glycogen storage disorders.

Product Disclaimer	This product is provided for research only, not suitable for human or animal use. Due to the inherent limitations of infectious agent testing, investigators must exercise extreme caution when handling cells provided by Creative Biolabs, treating all cells as potentially biohazardous.

Target	GBE1
Full Name	1,4-Alpha-Glucan Branching Enzyme 1
Alternative Name	GBE; APBD; GSD4
Location	3p12.2
Gene ID	2632
Summary	The protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen branching enzyme that transfers glucosyl units to create branches in glycogen chains, increasing its solubility. This enzyme is highly expressed in liver and muscle, and mutations cause glycogen storage disease IV (Andersen's disease).
