Gene: BBS2
Official Full Name: Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and cognitive disability. The proteins encoded by BBS gene family members are structurally diverse and the similar phenotypes exhibited by mutations in BBS gene family members is likely due to their shared roles in cilia formation and function. Many BBS proteins localize to the basal bodies, ciliary axonemes, and pericentriolar regions of cells. BBS proteins may also be involved in intracellular trafficking via microtubule-related transport. The protein encoded by this gene forms a multiprotein BBSome complex with seven other BBS proteins.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

BBS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines engineered to lack the BBS2 gene, which plays a crucial role in the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS)—a genetic disorder characterized by obesity, retinal degeneration, and renal anomalies, among other symptoms. These knockout cell lines serve as invaluable tools for dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying BBS and for assessing the functional consequences of BBS2 deficiency.
The primary function of the BBS2 gene is associated with the assembly and function of cilia, organelles that are critical for cellular signaling and homeostasis. By generating knockout cell lines, researchers can study the direct impacts of BBS2 in ciliary function and attendant cellular processes such as proliferation, signal transduction, and metabolic regulation. These mechanisms have significant implications for understanding not only BBS but also related conditions that involve ciliary dysfunction, such as polycystic kidney disease and certain types of cancer.
Scientifically, BBS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are instrumental in both basic research and therapeutic investigations. They facilitate drug screening, genetic interaction studies, and the testing of gene therapy approaches. The ability to precisely analyze the effects of gene knockout on physiological functions opens new avenues for the development of targeted therapies and precision medicine strategies.
What sets our BBS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their high fidelity and reliability in modeling BBS. Unlike some commercially available cell lines that may have undergone extensive passaging or possess uncharacterized mutations, our lines are rigorously validated for genetic integrity and functional performance, ensuring that data generated is both reproducible and interpretable.
For researchers and clinicians focused on genetic disorders, our BBS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a powerful platform to drive advancements in understanding and treating conditions linked to ciliary dysfunction. By leveraging our cutting-edge technologies and decades of expertise in cellular biology, we are committed to delivering top-tier biological products that empower scientific discovery and innovation in the biomedical field.
