ACVR2B Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ACVR2B

Official Full Name: activin A receptor type 2Bprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Activins are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor serine kinases which include at least two type I (I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors. These receptors are all transmembrane proteins, composed of a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with predicted serine/threonine specificity. Type I receptors are essential for signaling; and type II receptors are required for binding ligands and for expression of type I receptors. Type I and II receptors form a stable complex after ligand binding, resulting in phosphorylation of type I receptors by type II receptors. Type II receptors are considered to be constitutively active kinases. This gene encodes activin A type IIB receptor, which displays a 3- to 4-fold higher affinity for the ligand than activin A type II receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ACVR2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to disable the activin type II receptor B (ACVR2B) gene, a critical modulator of muscle growth and signaling pathways involved in various oncogenic processes. By employing advanced CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these cell lines provide a robust platform for studying the functional role of ACVR2B in cellular mechanisms such as myogenesis, fibrosis, and cancer progression.

The key function of ACVR2B is its involvement in the activin and myostatin signaling pathways, which regulate muscle differentiation and growth. In the knockout variants, the lack of ACVR2B leads to altered signaling cascades, allowing researchers to investigate the downstream effects of muscle hypertrophy and changes in tumor microenvironments in a controlled setting. This mechanistic insight is vital for identifying new therapeutic targets and understanding the nuances of myostatin-related muscle wasting disorders.

ACVR2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines hold significant scientific importance in both research and clinical applications. They serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery and testing novel therapeutics aimed at muscle degenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, or certain cancers. By generating cell lines deficient in ACVR2B, researchers can screen for compounds that can selectively modulate the growth or differentiation processes critical to these conditions.

What sets our ACVR2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from standard models is their high fidelity in mimicking physiological conditions and their versatility across various experimental frameworks. These tailored cell lines are meticulously validated and demonstrate consistent performance, ensuring reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes. Moreover, the accessibility to gene-edited models aids researchers in rapid experimental set-up without the need for additional time-consuming engineering.

This product is valuable for researchers, clinicians, and biopharmaceutical companies seeking to expand their investigations into muscle biology and related pathologies. By leveraging ACVR2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines, users can advance their understanding of significant biological processes, ultimately translating their findings into clinical applications that can improve patient outcomes.

Our company prides itself on its dedication to delivering high-quality biological products supported by a team of scientists with extensive experience in cell biology and genetic engineering, ensuring continued innovation and excellence in the research community.
