Gene: FARS2
Official Full Name: phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrialprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that transfers phenylalanine to its cognate tRNA. This protein localizes to the mitochondrion and plays a role in mitochondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene can cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 14 (Alpers encephalopathy). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

FARS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the FARS2 gene, responsible for the encoding of mitochondrial phenylalanyltRNA synthetase, has been inactivated. This genetic modification allows researchers to investigate the functional roles of the FARS2 gene in cellular processes, particularly those involving mitochondrial metabolism and protein synthesis. These cell lines serve as powerful tools for studying pathways influenced by mitochondrial dysfunction, which is increasingly implicated in a range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and various metabolic syndromes.
The mechanism of action for FARS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines hinges on the disruption of the FARS2 gene, leading to a reduction in the synthesis of mitochondrial tRNA specific for phenylalanine. Consequently, this impairment affects mitochondrial protein synthesis, potentially disrupting oxidative phosphorylation and leading to altered cellular energy metabolism. Researchers can employ these cell lines to elucidate the downstream effects of FARS2 disruption, enhancing our understanding of mitochondrial dynamics and their roles in health and disease.
Scientifically, the FARS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are essential in both basic and translational research. In clinical settings, they can aid in the development of therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial disorders, making them valuable for researchers investigating gene function and pharmacological interventions. Compared to alternative models, such as whole-animal studies or non-specific cell lines, these knockout models provide a more controlled environment to study the specific effects associated with the loss of FARS2 function.
The advantages of using FARS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their ability to replicate human disease mechanisms with higher fidelity, significantly improving the relevance of research findings. By providing a robust model system to study the intricacies of mitochondrial genetics, these cell lines enable researchers to make precise and impactful contributions to medical science.
