Gene: DPM2
Official Full Name: dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase subunit 2, regulatoryprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Dolichol-phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) serves as a donor of mannosyl residues on the lumenal side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Lack of Dol-P-Man results in defective surface expression of GPI-anchored proteins. Dol-P-Man is synthesized from GDP-mannose and dolichol-phosphate on the cytosolic side of the ER by the enzyme dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase. The protein encoded by this gene is a hydrophobic protein that contains 2 predicted transmembrane domains and a putative ER localization signal near the C terminus. This protein associates with DPM1 in vivo and is required for the ER localization and stable expression of DPM1 and also enhances the binding of dolichol-phosphate to DPM1.

DPM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a sophisticated tool in genetic research, providing scientists with models that lack the DPM2 gene, critical for understanding glycosylation processes. The DPM2 gene encodes an enzyme essential for the synthesis of dolichol phosphate mannose (DPM), a crucial donor of mannose in N-glycosylation pathways. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the functional consequences of DPM2 loss, shedding light on the biological role of glycoproteins and their implications in cellular recognition, signaling, and disease pathology.
The primary function of DPM2 knockout cell lines is to facilitate the study of glycosylation defects and their downstream effects on cellular function. Without the DPM2 gene, these cells exhibit altered glycosylation patterns, allowing for the exploration of how these changes affect processes such as protein folding, receptor activity, and immune response. This model is invaluable for elucidating the mechanisms underlying various genetic disorders and understanding how glycosylation influences drug efficacy and toxicity.
From a scientific standpoint, DPM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are increasingly significant in both research and clinical applications. They are routinely utilized to model diseases with known glycosylation defects, including congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs). Furthermore, these cell lines assist in preclinical testing of therapeutic strategies aimed at correcting glycosylation anomalies, consolidating their role in translational research.
What sets these knockout cell lines apart from alternatives is their specificity and reliability. They provide a consistent environment for experimental reproducibility, essential for obtaining valid scientific data. Additionally, compared to other models, such as RNA interference techniques, knockout cell lines offer a complete loss-of-function perspective, which is critical for thorough mechanistic studies.
For researchers, clinicians, and biopharmaceutical developers, DPM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present a versatile solution for advancing our collective understanding of glycosylation-related diseases. The ability to directly study the effects of losing a key gene enhances the translational potential of findings, thereby accelerating the journey from laboratory discovery to clinical application.
