CALB2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CALB2

Official Full Name: calbindin 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an intracellular calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. Members of this protein family have six EF-hand domains which bind calcium. This protein plays a role in diverse cellular functions, including message targeting and intracellular calcium buffering. It also functions as a modulator of neuronal excitability, and is a diagnostic marker for some human diseases, including Hirschsprung disease and some cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

Background

CALB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to investigate the physiological and pathological roles of the CALB2 gene, known for its involvement in calcium binding and signaling within various cellular contexts. Using cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines have been created to achieve a precise deletion of the CALB2 gene, providing researchers with unique tools to elucidate the gene's function in cellular processes such as muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and intracellular calcium homeostasis.

The primary mechanism of action hinges on the complete inactivation of the CALB2 gene, allowing for detailed studies into the resulting phenotypic changes compared to wild-type cell lines. Researchers can employ these knockout cell lines to assess alterations in calcium signaling pathways, cellular excitability, and potentially aberrant behaviors relevant to conditions such as cardiac hypertrophy and neurodegenerative diseases. By isolating the effects of CALB2 loss, scientists can better understand its critical roles and inform therapeutic strategies.

The scientific importance of CALB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into numerous research and clinical applications. They serve as valuable models for drug discovery, allowing for high-throughput screening of pharmacological agents targeting calcium-related processes. Additionally, these cell lines can contribute significantly to the development of gene therapies and regenerative medicine approaches focused on restoring normal function in CALB2-associated disorders.

Compared to alternative models, such as primary cell cultures or less specific knockout systems, CALB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer superior specificity and reproducibility, enabling consistent results and easier data interpretation. Furthermore, the ability to induce knockout in a homogenous cell population enhances experimental control, thereby increasing the reliability of the conclusions drawn.

The value of CALB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application, empowering researchers, clinicians, and developers to advance their understanding and treatment of calcium signaling dysfunctions. With our company’s robust expertise in gene editing technologies and commitment to providing high-quality biological products, we are proud to support advancements in scientific discovery and innovation with our CALB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines.
