FUT2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: FUT2

Official Full Name: fucosyltransferase 2 (H blood group)provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is one of two encoding the galactoside 2-L-fucosyltransferase enzyme. The encoded protein is important for the final step in the soluble ABO blood group antigen synthesis pathway. It is also involved in cell-cell interaction, cell surface expression, and cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are a cause of the H-Bombay blood group where red blood cells lack the H antigen.

Background

FUT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cells that have been specifically engineered to disrupt the functioning of the fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) gene, which plays a critical role in the synthesis of Lewis antigen carbohydrates on cell surfaces. This innovative tool allows researchers to study the implications of FUT2 deficiency on glycosylation pathways and its subsequent effects on cellular behavior, immune responses, and pathogen interactions.

The key function of FUT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the physiological conditions of FUT2-deficient individuals, providing invaluable insights into the gene's role in various biological processes. By eliminating the expression of FUT2, these cell lines enable detailed investigations into the mechanisms of fucosylation and its influence on cell signaling, adhesion, and interactions with microbiota. As fucosylated compounds are vital in mediating immune responses and participating in cell-cell interactions, researchers can utilize these cell lines to explore disease mechanisms in conditions such as infections, inflammatory disorders, and even cancer.

The scientific importance of FUT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends across both research and clinical settings. In a research context, these models serve as essential tools for dissecting the molecular consequences of FUT2 loss. Clinically, understanding the implications of FUT2 gene variations can inform the development of personalized therapeutic strategies, especially in populations where fucosylation patterns significantly affect health outcomes.

Compared to alternative cell lines, FUT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer specific advantages, including a clean genetic background and reliable performance in various assays such as cell adhesion, migration, and immune response studies. Unlike traditional knockout models, which may present off-target effects or compensatory mechanisms, these cell lines provide a standardized and reproducible platform for investigating the multifaceted role of the FUT2 gene.

For researchers and clinicians focused on glycosylation, immunology, or microbiome interactions, investing in FUT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines not only facilitates advanced research but also contributes to the understanding of disease mechanisms at the molecular level. Our company stands at the forefront of genetic engineering, providing high-quality biological products that empower scientists to unlock new discoveries and enhance human health through innovative research solutions.
