Gene: CLDN2
Official Full Name: claudin 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene product belongs to the claudin protein family whose members have been identified as major integral membrane proteins localized exclusively at tight junctions. Claudins are expressed in an organ-specific manner and regulate tissue-specific physiologic properties of tight junctions. This protein is expressed in the intestine. Alternatively spliced transcript variants with different 5' untranslated region have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

CLDN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models in which the CLDN2 gene has been selectively disrupted. Claudin-2 (CLDN2) is a critical component of tight junctions in epithelial tissues, involved in establishing the permeability barrier of epithelial layers. By employing cutting-edge CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these cell lines enable researchers to study the functional consequences of CLDN2 loss, including alterations in cell morphology, tight junction integrity, and the modulation of paracellular transport pathways.
The primary mechanism of CLDN2 knockout involves the targeted cleavage of the gene, leading to non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair that generates insertions or deletions, resulting in a non-functional protein. This approach allows scientists to elucidate the role of CLDN2 in various biological processes, including epithelial cell signaling, inflammation, and pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
In research and clinical applications, CLDN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as invaluable tools for studying tight junction dynamics and their implications in health and disease. They facilitate in vitro modeling of epithelial barriers under physiological and pathological conditions, thus providing insights that could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with altered barrier function.
Compared to traditional models, these knockout cell lines offer precision, reproducibility, and the ability to manipulate specific pathways, making them superior tools for targeted research. Researchers will find these cell lines advantageous for drug testing, mechanistic studies, and developing potential biomarkers for disease progression.
