Gene: ADRA2A
Official Full Name: adrenoceptor alpha 2Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. The alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are a type of adrenergic receptors (for adrenaline or epinephrine), which inhibit adenylate cyclase. These receptors include 3 highly homologous subtypes: alpha2A, alpha2B, and alpha2C. They are involved in regulating the release of neurotransmitter molecules from sympathetic nerves and from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system regulates cardiovascular function by activating adrenergic receptors in the heart, blood vessels and kidney. Studies in mouse revealed that both the alpha2A and alpha2C receptor subtypes were required for presynaptic transmitter release from the sympathetic nervous system in the heart and from central noradrenergic neurons. The alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are also involved in catecholamine signaling by extracellular regulated protein kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathways. A clear association between the alpha-2-adrenergic receptor and disease has not been yet established. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2019]

ADRA2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to study the role of the ADRA2A gene, a vital component of the adrenergic receptor family involved in modulating neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability. These knockout cell lines provide a robust platform for investigating the physiological and pathological roles of ADRA2A in various biological processes, including synaptic transmission, cardiovascular responses, and potential implications in neuropsychiatric disorders.
The key function of these cell lines lies in their ability to eliminate the expression of the ADRA2A gene, allowing researchers to explore the consequent physiological changes observed in cellular signaling pathways. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines present a reliable and reproducible means to generate loss-of-function models. This not only facilitates the assessment of ADRA2A's contributions to cellular processes but also aids in the identification of potential therapeutic targets for drug discovery.
ADRA2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are of significant scientific importance in both research and clinical settings. They offer insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying adrenergic signaling and are crucial for elucidating the gene's role in diseases such as hypertension, depression, and anxiety disorders. Additionally, these cell lines can be utilized for high-throughput screening of pharmacological agents, making them a valuable tool in the development of new therapeutics.
Compared to traditional cell lines that retain ADRA2A expression, our gene knockout cell lines provide unmatched specificity and superior experimental control. This specificity reduces background noise in experiments, leading to clearer results and more reliable data for downstream applications. Furthermore, our cell lines are validated for consistency and functionality, ensuring researchers can replicate studies with confidence.
For researchers and clinicians engaged in neurobiology and pharmacology, the ADRA2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer an invaluable resource that paves the way for groundbreaking discoveries and innovative treatments. Our company, known for its commitment to advancing biological research through high-quality products, provides these knockout cell lines as part of a comprehensive suite of gene-targeted models aimed at facilitating scientific breakthroughs.
