GlycoErase™ PRDM8 Knockout CHO-K1 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF353)

Description	GlycoErase™ PRDM8 knockout CHO-K1 cell line is a CHO-K1 model lacking PRDM8, a SET-domain histone methyltransferase that represses transcription and interfaces with laforin/malin complexes linked to glycogen regulation. The knockout supports epigenetic mechanism studies, neuronal pathway modeling in vitro, and exploration of chromatin-glycogen metabolism connections for translational research.

Target	PRDM8
Full Name	Pr/Set Domain 8
Alternative Name	PFM5; EPM10; KMT8D
Location	4q21.21
Gene ID	56978
Summary	This gene encodes a protein that belongs to a conserved family of histone methyltransferases that predominantly act as negative regulators of transcription. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal Su(var)3-9, Enhancer-of-zeste, and Trithorax (SET) domain and a double zinc-finger domain. Knockout of this gene in mouse results in mistargeting by neurons of the dorsal telencephalon, abnormal itch-like behavior, and impaired differentiation of rod bipolar cells. In humans, the protein has been shown to interact with the phosphatase laforin and the ubiquitin ligase malin, which regulate glycogen construction in the cytoplasm. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
