ADRB2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ADRB2

Official Full Name: adrenoceptor beta 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes beta-2-adrenergic receptor which is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate effectors, the class C L-type calcium channel Ca(V)1.2. This receptor-channel complex also contains a G protein, an adenylyl cyclase, cAMP-dependent kinase, and the counterbalancing phosphatase, PP2A. The assembly of the signaling complex provides a mechanism that ensures specific and rapid signaling by this G protein-coupled receptor. This receptor is also a transcription regulator of the alpha-synuclein gene, and together, both genes are believed to be associated with risk of Parkinson's Disease. This gene is intronless. Different polymorphic forms, point mutations, and/or downregulation of this gene are associated with nocturnal asthma, obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Background

ADRB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models specifically designed to lack the adrenergic receptor beta-2 (ADRB2) gene, allowing researchers to study the physiological, pharmacological, and molecular pathways influenced by this critical receptor. These cell lines serve as a powerful tool for investigating the role of ADRB2 in various biological processes, including cardiac function, the regulation of smooth muscle relaxation, and neurotransmitter release.

The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines involves the disruption of ADRB2 gene expression through targeted gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9 technology. By creating a complete absence of ADRB2, researchers can observe how this alteration affects cellular responses to adrenergic signaling, which has implications in understanding conditions such as asthma, heart disease, and obesity. Importantly, cell lines lacking ADRB2 provide insights into compensatory mechanisms and alternate pathways that may be activated in the absence of this receptor.

The scientific importance of ADRB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their utility across both basic research and clinical applications. They facilitate the screening of novel drugs that target adrenergic pathways and provide a platform for studying receptor desensitization and downregulation in physiological and pathological states. Researchers can leverage these cell lines for drug discovery, toxicity testing, and to better comprehend the molecular underpinnings of receptor function in different tissues.

Compared to conventional cell lines that express ADRB2, our knockout models offer a distinct advantage by providing clarity in experimental outcomes when specifically studying the effects of ligand binding and receptor activity. The controlled environment of these knockout systems allows for more precise data interpretation, thereby reducing variability and enhancing reproducibility in research findings.

For researchers and clinicians invested in the pharmacological impact of adrenergic receptors, ADRB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable. They unlock new avenues for exploration into therapeutic strategies aimed at diseases linked to adrenergic signaling pathways. With our deep expertise in genetic engineering and a strong commitment to quality, our company ensures that these cell lines are rigorously validated and available to support advanced biomedical research.
