BMPR2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: BMPR2

Official Full Name: bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. The ligands of this receptor are members of the TGF-beta superfamily. BMPs are involved in endochondral bone formation and embryogenesis. These proteins transduce their signals through the formation of heteromeric complexes of two different types of serine (threonine) kinase receptors: type I receptors of about 50-55 kD and type II receptors of about 70-80 kD. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary pulmonary hypertension, both familial and fenfluramine-associated, and with pulmonary venoocclusive disease. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Background

BMPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cell models specifically designed to study the function and implications of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Type 2 (BMPR2) gene in various cellular contexts. By effectively knocking out the BMPR2 gene, these cell lines facilitate the investigation of signaling pathways linked to cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, primarily within cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.

The primary function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic the absence of the BMPR2 receptor. This absence allows researchers to scrutinize the downstream effects of disrupted Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling, which is crucial for maintaining vascular homeostasis and normal pulmonary function. By providing a cellular environment devoid of BMPR2, researchers can elucidate the role of this gene in diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and explore potential therapeutic interventions.

The scientific importance of BMPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both research and clinical settings, as they represent valuable tools for understanding receptor dysfunction in disease states. Their application ranges from drug discovery to genetic studies, where knowledge gained from these models can lead to potential therapies targeting BMP signaling pathways.

Distinctively, our BMPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are rigorously validated to ensure consistent and reproducible results, setting them apart from competitor products. Their generation employs advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology, offering precision and allowing customization for specific research needs. Compared to traditional cell lines, which may express the receptor to varying degrees or exhibit disparate biological behaviors, our knockout models provide a more accurate platform for understanding the fundamental biology of BMPR2.

For researchers and clinicians focused on cardiovascular and pulmonary health, these cell lines offer an invaluable resource in unearthing the mechanistic underpinnings of related pathologies. They also facilitate the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, thereby expediting the translation of research findings into clinical applications.

With a strong foundation in biological product development and decades of expertise in genetic engineering techniques, our company is committed to providing high-quality research tools that foster innovation and discovery in the life sciences.
