COL6A2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: COL6A2

Official Full Name: collagen type VI alpha 2 chainprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

COL6A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precision-engineered cellular models that have had the COL6A2 gene disrupted or “knocked out,” allowing for the study of the gene’s functions in various biological processes and disease mechanisms. This gene is a critical component of type VI collagen, which plays a fundamental role in maintaining the structural integrity of tissues and is implicated in several musculoskeletal disorders. The unique feature of these cell lines lies in their ability to provide a controlled environment for researchers to observe and analyze the downstream effects of COL6A2 loss, facilitating a deeper understanding of its involvement in cellular behavior, signal transduction pathways, and matrix assembly.

The key function of the COL6A2 Knockout Cell Lines is their utility in dissecting the molecular and phenotypic consequences of collagen VI deficiency. By studying these cell lines, researchers can replicate aspects of diseases such as Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy or Bethlem myopathy, enabling insights into muscle cell degeneration and alterations in extracellular matrix composition. This functional delineation makes these models invaluable for both basic research and translational studies aimed at devising targeted therapies.

From a scientific perspective, these cell lines enable innovative experimentation, including gene interaction studies, drug testing, and cellular response assessments. They possess significant advantages over traditional models, such as primary cells or non-specific knockout lines, by offering specificity, reproducibility, and ease of use. The targeted gene disruption ensures that results directly correlate to COL6A2 dysfunction, minimizing confounding variables.

Researchers and clinicians benefit from utilizing COL6A2 Knockout Cell Lines as they fundamentally enhance the understanding of connective tissue disorders, thus paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies. This product represents a cutting-edge tool in gene therapy and regenerative medicine.
