Gene: EXT2
Official Full Name: exostosin glycosyltransferase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of two glycosyltransferases involved in the chain elongation step of heparan sulfate biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene cause the type II form of multiple exostoses. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

EXT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have had the EXT2 gene specifically disrupted or "knocked out." The EXT2 gene is crucial for the synthesis of heparan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan that plays significant roles in various biological processes, including cell signaling, tumorigenesis, and development. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology or other targeted genome editing strategies, these knockout cell lines offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular functions of EXT2 and the implications of its absence in cellular behavior.
The primary function of EXT2 is the regulation of heparan sulfate chains on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. These glycosaminoglycans are essential for binding various growth factors and morphogens, influencing cellular proliferation, migration, and differentiation. By utilizing EXT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can dissect the pathways affected by heparan sulfate signaling, enabling a deeper understanding of conditions such as cancer, developmental disorders, and tissue repair mechanisms.
In both research and clinical settings, EXT2 knockout models are invaluable for elucidating disease mechanisms and testing novel therapeutic strategies. They provide a robust platform for drug discovery and gene therapy approaches aimed at restoring heparan sulfate function, as well as analyzing gene-environment interactions in disease progression.
What sets these cell lines apart from alternatives is their precise genetic modification, allowing researchers to validate hypotheses with enhanced specificity. Unlike traditional knockout methods, which may have off-target effects, our EXT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered to ensure complete and accurate gene disruption, providing confidence in experimental results.
For researchers and clinicians delving into the complexities of heparan sulfate biology, the EXT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an essential asset that fosters innovation and discovery. By equipping the scientific community with these advanced tools, our company stands at the forefront of genetic research, committed to delivering high-quality biological products that drive scientific excellence.
