CATSPER2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CATSPER2

Official Full Name: cation channel sperm associated 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of cation channel proteins that localize to the flagellum of spermatozoa. Defects at this locus causes male infertility. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed at this locus. Readthrough transcription originates upstream of this locus in diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinase 1 pseudogene 1 and is represented by GeneID:110006325. Related pseudogenes are found next to this locus on chromosome 15 and on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

Background

CATSPER2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to functionally investigate the role of the CATSPER2 gene, essential for sperm motility and fertility. These cell lines are developed through advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows for precise gene editing, thereby enabling researchers to create isogenic models with complete loss-of-function mutations. By eliminating the CATSPER2 gene, scientists can study the molecular and cellular underpinnings of calcium signaling pathways critical for sperm function and maturation.

The primary mechanism of CATSPER2 involves its function as a calcium ion channel, which is crucial for sperm hyperactivation—a phenomenon necessary for effective fertilization. By providing a platform to study the effects of disrupted calcium signaling in otherwise normal cellular environments, these knockout cell lines offer a powerful tool for understanding infertility and related reproductive health issues. Their applications extend beyond basic research; they can also serve as valuable models in drug discovery and toxicology, particularly for compounds aimed at modulating calcium channels.

What sets our CATSPER2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from competing products is the rigor of our generation methods, which ensure high specificity and minimal off-target effects, thus enhancing reproducibility and reliability in experimental settings. Additionally, the viability and stability of these cell lines streamline their integration into various laboratory workflows, reducing the time spent on secondary validations.

For researchers and clinicians specializing in reproductive biology, these knockout cell lines represent a pivotal resource that can significantly advance the understanding of male fertility. Our commitment to providing high-quality biological products, backed by our dedicated team of scientists and stringent quality assurance practices, positions us as a leader in the field, ensuring your experiments are both impactful and insightful.
