Gene: ABCC2
Official Full Name: ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The 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 intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein is expressed in the canalicular (apical) part of the hepatocyte and functions in biliary transport. Substrates include anticancer drugs such as vinblastine; therefore, this protein appears to contribute to drug resistance in mammalian cells. Several different mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

ABCC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines that have undergone targeted genomic modifications to disrupt the ABCC2 gene, which encodes the Multidrug Resistance Protein 2 (MRP2). This protein plays a crucial role in the transport of a variety of substrates across cellular membranes, including drugs and endogenous compounds. By knocking out the ABCC2 gene, these cell lines allow researchers to study the physiological and pathological implications of MRP2 dysfunction in a controlled environment.
The key function of the ABCC2 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide insight into drug absorption, disposition, and resistance mechanisms in various tissues. These cell lines can be utilized to investigate the pharmacokinetics of emerging therapeutic agents, offering invaluable data on how the absence of MRP2 affects drug transport and efficacy. The mechanisms of MRP2 are vital to understanding conditions such as drug-induced liver injury and certain cancers, where altered drug transport can have significant clinical outcomes.
The scientific importance of these cell lines cannot be overstated. They are pivotal in both basic research and translational studies, allowing for a deeper understanding of multidrug resistance, toxicity, and therapeutic interventions. Researchers can use these cell lines for assays that analyze drug interactions, identify potential toxicity, and develop strategies to bypass resistance mechanisms, thus facilitating drug development.
What sets our ABCC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their precision-engineered nature, which ensures consistent and reproducible results. Unlike other knockout models, our cell lines are validated for MRP2 deficiency through rigorous testing, providing researchers with confidence in their experimental outcomes. The adaptability of these cell lines across various studies further enhances their utility in different research contexts.
Investing in ABCC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines empowers researchers and clinicians with the tools necessary to advance their understanding of drug transport mechanisms and resistance. The clear benefits of using this product include enhanced insights into drug efficacy and safety, which are critical for the development of next-generation therapeutics.
