Gene: AGR2
Official Full Name: anterior gradient 2, protein disulphide isomerase family memberprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins that catalyze protein folding and thiol-disulfide interchange reactions. The encoded protein has an N-terminal ER-signal sequence, a catalytically active thioredoxin domain, and a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. This protein plays a role in cell migration, cellular transformation and metastasis and is as a p53 inhibitor. As an ER-localized molecular chaperone, it plays a role in the folding, trafficking, and assembly of cysteine-rich transmembrane receptors and the cysteine-rich intestinal gylcoprotein mucin. This gene has been implicated in inflammatory bowel disease and cancer progression. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

AGR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that have had the AGR2 (Anterior Gradient 2) gene disrupted, effectively simulating the absence of this gene's function. AGR2 is a member of the protein disulfide isomerase family and plays a significant role in various biological processes, including protein folding, cellular signaling, and maintaining epithelial homeostasis. By generating knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the specific contributions of the AGR2 gene to disease mechanisms, particularly in cancer, where its overexpression has been associated with tumor progression.
The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to enable targeted studies of AGR2's role in cellular behavior, signaling pathways, and stress responses. Researchers can utilize these models to assess how the absence of AGR2 affects cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. By examining these cellular responses, scientists can unravel the gene's implications in diseases and develop potential therapeutic strategies.
In terms of scientific importance, AGR2 knockout cell lines serve as powerful tools in both research and clinical settings, providing insights into cancer biology, metabolic disorders, and the physiological roles of AGR2 during illness. They allow for high-throughput screening of potential drug candidates and facilitate the identification of biomarkers for disease progression.
Comparatively, AGR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their specificity and reliability. They eliminate off-target effects commonly associated with other gene editing techniques, ensuring that results are attributable directly to the loss of AGR2 function. Furthermore, these lines can be easily integrated into existing experimental workflows, making them accessible for a wide range of studies.
For researchers and clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of oncological pathways or develop novel therapeutic interventions, AGR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present invaluable resources. Their precision and applicability in real-world scenarios underscore their worth in advancing scientific knowledge and translational medicine.
