AGPAT2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: AGPAT2

Official Full Name: 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase family. The protein is located within the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and converts lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, the second step in de novo phospholipid biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

AGPAT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered cellular models developed to facilitate the comprehensive study of the AGPAT2 gene, which encodes for acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, an enzyme crucial for lipid metabolism. These cell lines are designed to exhibit a complete loss of AGPAT2 function, enabling researchers to dissect the gene's role in various metabolic pathways and its implications in obesity, insulin resistance, and other metabolic disorders.

The core mechanism by which these knockout cell lines function is based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which allows for targeted gene modification. By disrupting the AGPAT2 gene, the cell lines provide insights into how the absence of this enzyme affects cellular lipid profiles, metabolic processes, and overall cell viability. Researchers can use these models to investigate the downstream effects of altered lipid metabolism, offering potential clues about the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases.

The scientific importance of AGPAT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is profound, as they serve as valuable tools in both basic research and clinical applications. In research settings, they can facilitate high-throughput screening for novel therapeutic agents aimed at restoring lipid balance or mitigating metabolic dysregulation. In clinical contexts, understanding AGPAT2 function may lead to the development of targeted interventions for obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Compared to traditional cell lines, which may not accurately reflect the pathophysiological state of diseases, AGPAT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a unique advantage by providing a definitive model of AGPAT2 deficiency. This specificity enables more reliable data and supports reproducibility in experimental outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians, the AGPAT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource for advancing our understanding of lipid metabolism and its systemic effects. With these tools, users can gain deeper insights and drive forward innovative solutions in the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Our company specializes in providing high-quality, well-characterized genetic models, drawing upon extensive expertise in molecular biology and genetics. By offering AGPAT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, we empower the scientific community to explore groundbreaking research avenues with confidence and efficiency.
