CDKN2B Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CDKN2B

Official Full Name: cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2Bprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene lies adjacent to the tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A in a region that is frequently mutated and deleted in a wide variety of tumors. This gene encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, which forms a complex with CDK4 or CDK6, and prevents the activation of the CDK kinases, thus the encoded protein functions as a cell growth regulator that controls cell cycle G1 progression. The expression of this gene was found to be dramatically induced by TGF beta, which suggested its role in the TGF beta induced growth inhibition. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene, which encode distinct proteins, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

CDKN2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines where the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) gene has been inactivated, providing a vital tool for researchers investigating cell cycle regulation and tumorigenesis. The CDKN2B gene plays a crucial role in controlling cellular proliferation and motility by encoding a protein that inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases, and its loss is associated with various cancers, including melanoma and glioblastoma.

These knockout cell lines facilitate a deeper understanding of PDGF signaling pathways and the mechanistic role of CDKN2B in cell cycle dysregulation and cancer development. By using CRISPR-Cas9 technology for precise editing, the knockout cells allow for experimentation without the confounding influence of CDKN2B production, thereby elucidating the functional consequences of its absence in both in vitro and in vivo models.

The scientific significance of CDKN2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines is predominant in cancer research, drug discovery, and therapeutic development, where understanding the cellular consequences of gene mutations can ultimately lead to novel treatment strategies. Compared to traditional methods such as RNA interference, CRISPR-mediated knockout provides a more stable genetic alteration, enabling long-term studies and more reliable outcomes.

These cell lines stand out due to their specificity and potential for high-throughput screening, rendering them essential for elucidating the mechanisms underlying malignancy. Researchers and clinicians can leverage these models for accurate drug efficacy assessment and identifying potential biomarkers for cancer prognosis.

Our company is committed to advancing scientific research by providing high-quality, genetically modified cell lines, supported by a robust background in molecular biology. With a focus on precision and reliability, we empower researchers to explore new frontiers in cancer biology and related fields.
