Gene: DSG2
Official Full Name: desmoglein 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein family and cadherin cell adhesion molecule superfamily of proteins. Desmogleins are calcium-binding transmembrane glycoprotein components of desmosomes, cell-cell junctions between epithelial, myocardial, and other cell types. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other desmoglein gene family members on chromosome 18. Mutations in this gene have been associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial, 10. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

DSG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines created to specifically deactivate the desmoglein 2 (DSG2) gene. This product serves as a valuable tool for researchers examining the function of DSG2 in cellular adhesion, tissue integrity, and related pathologies, particularly those involving cadherin-mediated adhesion. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or other gene-editing methods, these cell lines exhibit a complete knockout of DSG2, allowing for in-depth studies into its role in desmosome formation and signaling pathways.
The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to facilitate investigations into the biological effects of DSG2 deficiency. Researchers can explore how the loss of DSG2 affects cell-cell adhesion, migration, and response to various stimuli. This is particularly crucial for studies related to skin and heart diseases, where desmosomal dysfunction leads to severe pathological outcomes. Additionally, the cell lines can serve as a model for cancer research, providing insights into how DSG2 loss may contribute to tumor progression and metastasis.
The scientific importance of DSG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines in both basic research and clinical applications cannot be overstated. In research settings, they enable the dissection of complex signaling networks and the mechanistic understanding of diseases. Clinically, insights gained from these cell lines can contribute to the development of targeted therapies aimed at restoring desmosomal integrity.
Compared to alternatives, such as transient knockdown methods or overexpression systems, knockout cell lines provide a stable and consistent platform for prolonged studies. This ensures that researchers can reliably evaluate long-term effects without the confounding variables of transient expression or incomplete knockout.
For researchers and clinicians focused on cellular mechanics, disease modeling, and therapeutic development, DSG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present an indispensable resource. Their ability to provide clear insights into DSG2 roles enhances our understanding of critical physiological and pathological processes.
