CDK2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CDK2

Official Full Name: cyclin dependent kinase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of serine/threonine protein kinases that participate in cell cycle regulation. The encoded protein is the catalytic subunit of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase complex, which regulates progression through the cell cycle. Activity of this protein is especially critical during the G1 to S phase transition. This protein associates with and regulated by other subunits of the complex including cyclin A or E, CDK inhibitor p21Cip1 (CDKN1A), and p27Kip1 (CDKN1B). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

Background

CDK2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered human or mammalian cell lines that have undergone precise genetic modification to delete or disrupt the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) gene. CDK2 plays a critical role in regulating the cell cycle, particularly through its function in the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase, making it pivotal in cellular proliferation and division. These knockout cell lines enable researchers to study the effects of CDK2 absence on cellular behavior, thereby elucidating its contributions to cell cycle regulation, DNA repair mechanisms, and the implications of dysregulation in various diseases such as cancer.

The primary function of the CDK2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their capacity to provide robust models for understanding the role of CDK2 in cell cycle progression and associated signaling pathways. Researchers can assess changes in cell proliferation rates, apoptosis, and response to senescence, along with analyzing the cellular mechanisms that compensate for the loss of CDK2. Through these models, insights can be gained regarding the potential therapeutic targets in CDK2-related malignancies.

The scientific significance of these cell lines extends to their applications in pharmacological research, where they can be used to screen for novel inhibitors of cell cycle progression and to validate potential cancer therapeutics aimed at CDK2. Furthermore, these knockout models facilitate studies on the interplay between CDK2 and other cell cycle regulators, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding their complex networks.

When compared to alternative products, our CDK2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unparalleled specificity and reliability. Each cell line is rigorously validated for gene knockout efficiency and characterized for consistent growth and behavior, ensuring high fidelity in experimental outcomes. In addition, our lines are derived from well-established human cell types, enhancing their relevance to clinical research.

For researchers and clinicians, these cell lines represent an invaluable tool for innovative research that aims to decipher the molecular underpinnings of cell cycle control and its implications in oncogenesis. By leveraging our extensive expertise in cell line development and genetic engineering, we provide products that not only meet but exceed the demands of cutting-edge research in molecular biology and cancer therapeutics.
