Gene: ARRB2
Official Full Name: arrestin beta 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Members of arrestin/beta-arrestin protein family are thought to participate in agonist-mediated desensitization of G-protein-coupled receptors and cause specific dampening of cellular responses to stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, or sensory signals. Arrestin beta 2, like arrestin beta 1, was shown to inhibit beta-adrenergic receptor function in vitro. It is expressed at high levels in the central nervous system and may play a role in the regulation of synaptic receptors. Besides the brain, a cDNA for arrestin beta 2 was isolated from thyroid gland, and thus it may also be involved in hormone-specific desensitization of TSH receptors. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

ARRB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models derived through advanced genetic engineering techniques to inactivate the arrestin beta 2 (ARRB2) gene, which plays a critical role in cellular signaling pathways involving G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The loss of function of this gene provides a valuable tool for researchers investigating the implications of ARRB2 in various physiological and pathological processes, including but not limited to signal transduction, receptor desensitization, and cellular responses to external stimuli.
These cell lines function by serving as a platform to study the molecular mechanisms by which the ARRB2 gene influences various signaling pathways. By allowing researchers to observe the effects of its absence, scientists can elucidate the gene's role in cellular functions such as receptor internalization, regulation of downstream signaling cascades, and the overall impact on cellular behavior. This capability to manipulate the gene expression offers a unique approach to understand disease mechanisms as well as to screen potential therapeutic agents that target ARRB2-related pathways.
The scientific importance of ARRB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is particularly evident in areas such as drug discovery and development, where understanding receptor signaling is essential. In the clinical realm, insights gained from using these cell lines can aid in the identification of novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets for diseases like heart failure, obesity, and cancer, where ARRB2 has been implicated.
Distinct advantages of ARRB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines compared to standard cell lines include their ability to accurately model diseases involving aberrant GPCR signaling and provide reproducible experimental results that highlight the specific roles of ARRB2. These knockout models reduce background noise caused by the presence of functional ARRB2, enabling clearer interpretations of experimental findings.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of ARRB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential to accelerate discovery and innovation by providing a deeper understanding of molecular signaling mechanisms. By leveraging these cell lines, scientists can drive forward research into targeted therapies that could transform treatment protocols for patients suffering from receptor-mediated diseases.
