Gene: ATP1B2
Official Full Name: ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit beta 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of Na+/K+ and H+/K+ ATPases beta chain proteins, and to the subfamily of Na+/K+ -ATPases. Na+/K+ -ATPase is an integral membrane protein responsible for establishing and maintaining the electrochemical gradients of Na and K ions across the plasma membrane. These gradients are essential for osmoregulation, for sodium-coupled transport of a variety of organic and inorganic molecules, and for electrical excitability of nerve and muscle. This enzyme is composed of two subunits, a large catalytic subunit (alpha) and a smaller glycoprotein subunit (beta). The beta subunit regulates, through assembly of alpha/beta heterodimers, the number of sodium pumps transported to the plasma membrane. The glycoprotein subunit of Na+/K+ -ATPase is encoded by multiple genes. This gene encodes a beta 2 subunit. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

ATP1B2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines generated through targeted gene editing technology, specifically designed to disrupt the ATP1B2 gene, which encodes the beta subunit of the Na+/K+ ATPase enzyme. This enzyme plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular ionic balance by regulating sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane, thereby influencing various physiological processes including cellular signaling, volume regulation, and electrical excitability in tissues. By creating knockout models, researchers can eliminate the expression of ATP1B2, allowing for the exploration of its specific functions and implications in cellular physiology and pathology.
These cell lines function as invaluable tools in functional genomics, enabling scientists to study the direct effects of ATP1B2 deficiency on cellular behavior and biochemical pathways. The absence of ATP1B2 can lead to perturbations in ion homeostasis, which researchers can use to investigate conditions such as hypertension, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiac disorders where ion transport mechanisms are implicated. Furthermore, the ATP1B2 knockout models are pivotal in developing and testing novel therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating sodium-potassium balance in disease contexts.
One significant advantage of using ATP1B2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is the specificity and precision offered by CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which distinguishes them from traditional methods of gene silencing like RNA interference. These cell lines provide a stable and irreversible alteration in genetic expression, ensuring consistent results that can be reproduced across various experiments. Additionally, they facilitate high-throughput screening and drug discovery efforts, as well as gene function studies that can lead to enhanced understanding of complex biological systems.
For researchers and clinicians, these knockout cell lines represent an essential asset in elucidating the intricate roles of Na+/K+ ATPase in health and disease.
