COL9A2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: COL9A2

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

Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. This chain is unusual in that, unlike the other two type IX alpha chains, it contains a covalently attached glycosaminoglycan side chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

COL9A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are intricately designed cellular models where the COL9A2 gene, part of the collagen IX family, has been systematically ablated. This product serves as a critical tool for investigating the molecular and physiological roles of collagen IX in processes such as cell adhesion, tissue organization, and signaling pathways relevant in various connective tissue disorders. By providing a robust platform for gene function analysis, these knockout cell lines enable researchers to dissect the contributions of COL9A2 to cellular functionality and pathogenesis.

The primary function of the COL9A2 knockout cell lines is to elucidate the consequences of COL9A2 deficiency within cellular environments, facilitating studies on extracellular matrix composition and associated cellular behavior. Mechanistically, these cell lines allow researchers to observe alterations in cellular proliferation, migration, and differentiation in the absence of this gene, thereby providing insights into its roles in diseases like osteoarthritis and intervertebral disc degeneration.

Scientifically, these knockout models are invaluable in both research and clinical settings, enabling the exploration of disease mechanisms and the development of therapeutic strategies. Their relevance spans from basic science to translational research, bridging the gap between genetic analysis and potential clinical applications.

Compared to traditional wild-type cell lines, COL9A2 knockout models offer unparalleled specificity for studying the functions of this collagen type without confounding signals. This targeted approach increases the reliability of experimental outcomes, thus enhancing scalability in research applications.

For researchers and clinicians working on connective tissue biology, regenerative medicine, or genetic disorders, the COL9A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant asset. They empower users to conduct high-quality, focused investigations with the potential for groundbreaking discoveries.

Our company prides itself on delivering cutting-edge biological products and cell line models, underpinned by rigorous scientific validation and a commitment to excellence, ensuring that our customers have the tools they need to advance their research and clinical applications effectively.
