Gene: CAPN2
Official Full Name: calpain 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, are nonlysosomal, intracellular cysteine proteases. The mammalian calpains include ubiquitous, stomach-specific, and muscle-specific proteins. The ubiquitous enzymes consist of heterodimers with distinct large, catalytic subunits associated with a common small, regulatory subunit. This gene encodes the large subunit of the ubiquitous enzyme, calpain 2. Multiple heterogeneous transcriptional start sites in the 5' UTR have been reported. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

CAPN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models specifically designed to lack the calpain-2 (CAPN2) gene. This innovative tool enables researchers to study the biological functions, pathways, and implications of CAPN2 in various cellular processes. The knockout of the CAPN2 gene results in a loss of calpain-2 activity, a calcium-dependent cysteine protease that plays crucial roles in cellular signaling, migration, and apoptosis. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can dissect the specific contributions of CAPN2 in physiological and pathological contexts, such as cancer metastasis, neurodegenerative diseases, and muscle disorders.
The primary function of CAPN2 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to serve as a reliable system to investigate how the absence of calpain-2 alters cellular behavior and molecular signaling cascades. These models facilitate high-throughput screening assays, enabling scientists to correlate CAPN2 deficiency with phenotypic changes, providing insights into therapeutic targets for treating calpain-related diseases.
The scientific importance of CAPN2 gene knockout cell lines extends to both research and clinical settings, as they provide a unique opportunity to explore the calpain system in detail. Researchers utilizing these models can examine the interplay between calpain-2 and other cellular factors, paving the way for advancements in drug discovery and biomarker development.
What sets our CAPN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives on the market is their precise gene editing, which is verified through next-generation sequencing, ensuring the reliability of results.
