Gene: BLOC1S2
Official Full Name: biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with multiple functions. The encoded protein has been found in association with the centrosome, shown to co-localize with gamma-tubulin, and also found to be one of the proteins in the BLOC-1 complex which functions in the formation of lysosome-related organelles. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

BLOC1S2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge biological tool designed to enable researchers and clinicians to investigate the functional roles of the BLOC1S2 gene in various cellular processes. These cell lines are created using advanced CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, resulting in genetically modified cell lines where the BLOC1S2 gene has been selectively disrupted. By effectively knocking out this specific gene, scientists can explore its contributions to pigmentation, vesicle trafficking, and other critical biological functions relevant to conditions such as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome.
The primary mechanism of these knockout cell lines relies on the targeted introduction of double-strand breaks in the DNA at the BLOC1S2 locus, which the cell attempts to repair through non-homologous end joining. This often leads to insertions or deletions that result in loss of gene function. The immediate impact of this knockout can be observed in altered cellular behaviors, making it an invaluable tool for dissecting the pathways that depend on BLOC1S2.
The scientific importance of BLOC1S2 knockout cell lines extends to various research fields, including molecular genetics, cell biology, and translational medicine. By providing a model to study gene function, these cell lines can enhance our understanding of genetic diseases, potential therapeutic avenues, and drug development processes.
In comparison to alternatives, BLOC1S2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages such as higher specificity and efficiency due to the precision of CRISPR technology. This results in more reliable experimental outcomes, minimizing off-target effects that can confound research results. Additionally, these cell lines are designed to be easy to use, allowing researchers to quickly generate insights without extensive prior expertise in genetic manipulation.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their knowledge of BLOC1S2 and its implications in health and disease, these specialized cell lines provide a vital resource. The value lies not only in advancing fundamental science but also in enabling translational applications that promise to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical innovations.
