Gene: BIRC2
Official Full Name: baculoviral IAP repeat containing 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of proteins that inhibits apoptosis by binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors TRAF1 and TRAF2, probably by interfering with activation of ICE-like proteases. This encoded protein inhibits apoptosis induced by serum deprivation and menadione, a potent inducer of free radicals. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

BIRC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have been engineered to disrupt the expression of the BIRC2 gene, which encodes the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP2). This gene plays a critical role in regulating apoptosis and immune response pathways, influencing various cellular processes such as proliferation, survival, and inflammation. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the specific functions of BIRC2 in cellular contexts, providing insights into its contributions to diseases, including cancer and autoimmunity.
The primary mechanism of BIRC2 knockout involves the targeted deletion of the gene using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology. This innovative approach allows for precise editing of the genome, enabling the assessment of BIRC2's role in apoptotic signaling pathways and its interaction with other proteins within the NF-κB signaling cascade. The resulting cell lines serve as valuable tools for studying cellular responses to stressors, therapeutic agents, and other stimuli, expanding our understanding of oncogenesis and immune regulation.
In both research and clinical settings, BIRC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines have significant applications, particularly in drug discovery and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Not only do they offer a platform for evaluating the efficacy of targeted therapies, but they also facilitate the screening of compounds that can restore apoptotic pathways in cancer cells. This makes them essential for researchers aiming to develop innovative treatments that enhance anti-cancer immunity or modulate immune responses in autoimmune diseases.
Compared to traditional methods of gene silencing, such as shRNA or siRNA, the BIRC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more permanent and specific alteration, thereby eliminating drawbacks associated with transient knockdowns, such as off-target effects and variable expression levels. Furthermore, these cell lines can be easily cultured and employed in high-throughput screening assays, enhancing experimental efficiency.
For researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing the understanding of apoptosis and developing therapeutic interventions, the BIRC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present a valuable resource. They enable comprehensive investigations into the role of apoptosis in health and disease, ultimately advancing the field of biomedical research.
