Gene: EGLN2
Official Full Name: egl-9 family hypoxia inducible factor 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is a transcriptional complex that is involved in oxygen homeostasis. At normal oxygen levels, the alpha subunit of HIF is targeted for degration by prolyl hydroxylation. This gene encodes an enzyme responsible for this post-translational modification. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the upstream RAB4B (RAB4B, member RAS oncogene family) gene.

EGLN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to specifically eliminate the expression of the EGLN2 gene, which encodes for an enzyme involved in the regulation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). These cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool for investigating the role of EGLN2 in cellular responses to oxygen availability and its implications in various physiological and pathological conditions.
The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to model the effects of EGLN2 deficiency on cellular mechanisms governing hypoxia responses. By disrupting EGLN2 gene expression, researchers can explore the subsequent alterations in HIF stabilization, which plays a crucial role in processes such as angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and metabolic adaptation under low oxygen tension. This makes the cell lines particularly valuable for studying cancer biology, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders linked to aberrant oxygen sensing.
The scientific importance of EGLN2 gene knockout cell lines is underscored by their versatility and applicability across multiple research domains. These models allow for in-depth investigations into therapeutic targets and the development of novel strategies for manipulating hypoxic responses. Moreover, the ability to assess the impact of EGLN2 deletion on cellular behavior presents an opportunity for clinicians and researchers to gain insights into potential interventions to mitigate disease progression.
Compared to traditional cell lines, which may maintain residual EGLN2 activity, our knockout cell lines ensure complete ablation of gene expression, providing a more accurate representation of the gene's function. Additionally, validated performance metrics ensure that these models will yield reproducible and relevant data essential for rigorous downstream applications.
