ABCA2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ABCA2

Official Full Name: ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This protein is highly expressed in brain tissue and may play a role in macrophage lipid metabolism and neural development. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ABCA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to study the function of the ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 2 (ABCA2) gene. These knockout lines are characterized by the complete deletion of the ABCA2 gene, facilitating investigations into the gene's role in lipid metabolism, neuronal function, and various diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders. By utilizing advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines provide a powerful model for researchers aiming to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying ABCA2-associated pathways.

The key function of ABCA2 involves the transport of lipids and other molecules across cell membranes, influencing critical biological processes. The knockout of this gene enables researchers to observe phenotypic changes, assess alterations in lipoprotein levels, and evaluate cellular responses to various stimuli without the confounding influence of ABCA2 expression. Such insights are invaluable in elucidating the gene's contributions to conditions like Alzheimer's disease, where lipid dysregulation is implicated.

In both research and clinical applications, ABCA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold significant importance as they facilitate targeted studies of lipid biochemistry and its effects on cellular health. Additionally, these cell lines can be used to test potential therapeutic agents aimed at modulating ABCA2 activity, making them essential for drug discovery efforts.

One of the primary advantages of using our ABCA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines over alternative models is their comprehensive validation and characterization, ensuring reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes. Furthermore, the versatility of these cell lines allows them to be used across various experimental setups, from basic research to translational studies.

For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of lipid metabolism and its broader implications in health and disease, ABCA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a unique and valuable resource. Our company prides itself on cutting-edge genetic engineering capabilities, offering a wide range of biological products that empower researchers to make significant advancements in their fields.
