DGAT2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DGAT2

Official Full Name: diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of two enzymes which catalyzes the final reaction in the synthesis of triglycerides in which diacylglycerol is covalently bound to long chain fatty acyl-CoAs. The encoded protein catalyzes this reaction at low concentrations of magnesium chloride while the other enzyme has high activity at high concentrations of magnesium chloride. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

Background

DGAT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that lack the expression of the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) gene. This gene is critically involved in lipid metabolism, specifically in the synthesis of triglycerides from diacylglycerol and acyl-CoA. By eliminating DGAT2, these cell lines enable researchers to investigate the role of this enzyme in lipid biochemistry, metabolic disorders, and related physiological processes.

The unique mechanism of these knockout cell lines leverages CRISPR/Cas9 technology, allowing precise genetic modification to produce a stable and reproducible platform for experimental studies. Researchers utilize these models to elucidate the pathways of lipid metabolism, potential impacts on obesity, diabetes, and liver disease, thereby advancing the understanding of various metabolic conditions.

Scientifically, DGAT2 gene knockout cell lines are invaluable for both basic research and clinical applications. They serve as robust in vitro systems for investigating novel therapeutic approaches for metabolic diseases and assist in drug development by providing insights into the efficacy of pharmacological agents targeting lipid metabolism. Additionally, they enable the exploration of the genetic and molecular underpinnings of lipid-related disorders in a controlled environment.

Compared to traditional cell lines, these knockout models provide a distinct advantage by offering clarity in the analysis of DGAT2's specific functions without the confounding effects of gene expression. The ability to perform studies that highlight the differential effects of DGAT2 may lead to the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

For researchers and clinicians focused on metabolic research, DGAT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present a remarkable opportunity to enhance their understanding of lipid biochemistry and its implications for human health. Our company prides itself on delivering high-quality genetic tools tailored for the advancement of biomedical research, underscoring our commitment to supporting the scientific community with reliable and innovative products.
