Gene: DDB2
Official Full Name: damage specific DNA binding protein 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is necessary for the repair of ultraviolet light-damaged DNA. This protein is the smaller subunit of a heterodimeric protein complex that participates in nucleotide excision repair, and this complex mediates the ubiquitylation of histones H3 and H4, which facilitates the cellular response to DNA damage. This subunit appears to be required for DNA binding. Mutations in this gene cause xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E, a recessive disease that is characterized by an increased sensitivity to UV light and a high predisposition for skin cancer development, in some cases accompanied by neurological abnormalities. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

DDB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are carefully engineered cell lines designed to facilitate the study of the DDB2 gene, which plays a crucial role in the DNA damage response and nucleotide excision repair pathways. By specifically knocking out the DDB2 gene, these cell lines allow researchers to investigate the cellular and molecular consequences of DDB2 deficiency, enabling a deeper understanding of its involvement in tumorigenesis, genomic stability, and the overall maintenance of cellular integrity.
The functionality of DDB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stems from their ability to mimic conditions of DDB2 gene deletion, facilitating studies on how the loss of this gene impacts DNA repair mechanisms and cellular responses to UV-induced damage. This knockout model serves as a valuable tool for uncovering the underlying pathways that contribute to various diseases, particularly skin cancers and other conditions linked to elevated mutagenesis, as well as exploring potential therapeutic targets.
Scientifically, these cell lines are indispensable in both basic research and translational studies. They provide a standardized approach for drug screening and the evaluation of novel therapeutic agents aimed at restoring DNA repair capabilities. Moreover, DDB2 knockout models are critical in studying the efficacy of photodynamic and other UV-related treatments that target malignant cells.
One key advantage of DDB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reliability, as they eliminate the variability associated with endogenous gene expression, thus enabling consistent experimental outcomes. Compared to alternative systems, such as RNA interference or CRISPR activation methods, these knockout lines offer a more streamlined approach to studying the direct effects of gene absence without the potential off-target effects that can complicate interpretation.
