ENTPD2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ENTPD2

Official Full Name: ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is the type 2 enzyme of the ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase family (E-NTPDase). E-NTPDases are a family of ecto-nucleosidases that hydrolyze 5'-triphosphates. This ecto-ATPase is an integral membrane protein. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

ENTPD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that lack the expression of the ENTPD2 gene, which encodes ecto-nucleotide triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-2, an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of nucleotide triphosphates into diphosphates. The absence of this enzyme allows researchers to study signaling pathways modulated by extracellular nucleotides, particularly ATP, which plays a crucial role in cellular communication, inflammation, and immune responses. The ENTPD2 gene knockout creates an ideal model for investigating the effects of altered nucleotide signaling in various biological contexts, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegeneration.

The primary function of the ENTPD2 knockout is to understand the cascading effects of nucleotide signaling in the absence of ecto-nucleotide activity. The resulting changes in cellular responses provide insights into ATP-mediated signaling mechanisms, allowing researchers to determine the physiological and pathological implications of nucleotide metabolism. This cellular model is valuable in both basic research and translational studies, facilitating investigations into potential therapeutic targets and drug interactions.

The scientific importance of ENTPD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their application across multiple disciplines. In cancer research, for instance, these cell lines can be used to explore tumor microenvironment interactions influenced by nucleotide signaling. Clinically, they have the potential to lead to novel insights for treating diseases linked to aberrant nucleotide metabolism.

Advantages of these knockout cell lines include the precision of gene editing techniques that ensure the complete ablation of ENTPD2 function, providing a clean model system with minimal off-target effects. This specificity is often lacking in traditional pharmacological approaches or inferior genetic models that do not account for compensatory mechanisms.

For researchers and clinicians, the ENTPD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical tool for dissecting the nuances of cellular signaling and therapeutic intervention strategies. With enhanced capabilities for experimental reproducibility and data accuracy, these cell lines are an asset in the advancement of medical science.
