GBA2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GBA2

Official Full Name: glucosylceramidase beta 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a microsomal beta-glucosidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of bile acid 3-O-glucosides as endogenous compounds. Studies to determine subcellular localization of this protein in the liver indicated that the enzyme was mainly enriched in the microsomal fraction where it appeared to be confined to the endoplasmic reticulum. This putative transmembrane protein is thought to play a role in carbohydrate transport and metabolism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

GBA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically engineered to lack the functional glycosylceramidase beta 2 (GBA2) gene. This gene encodes an enzyme important for sphingolipid metabolism, particularly in the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide. The absence of GBA2 allows researchers to study the role of this gene and its associated pathways in a controlled environment, facilitating a deeper understanding of the molecular processes underlying various diseases, including Gaucher disease and certain neurodegenerative conditions.

The key function of the GBA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide insights into the physiological consequences of GBA2 deficiency. Upon knockout of this gene, researchers can observe alterations in lipid metabolism, cellular response to stress, and the modulation of signaling pathways involved in disease mechanisms. This enables advanced investigations into substrates of GBA2 and helps to elucidate the potential cellular compensatory mechanisms that occur in the absence of the enzyme.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is evident in their applications across both basic research and clinical settings. They are instrumental for drug discovery processes targeting sphingolipid-related disorders, providing a robust platform for screening compounds that may restore enzyme function or mitigate disease symptoms. Furthermore, they facilitate the study of cellular models of diseases characterized by sphingolipid accumulation, aiding in the development of targeted therapies.

Compared to traditional cell lines, GBA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer distinct advantages, such as increased specificity in research outcomes and a clearer understanding of gene-environment interactions. Their targeted genetic modification allows for lower variability and higher reproducibility in experiments, which is crucial for obtaining reliable data. This specificity is a significant differentiator when compared to other models that may not accurately replicate the nuanced interactions present in cells with an intact GBA2 gene.

For researchers and clinicians focused on understanding the complexities of lipid metabolism-based disorders, these cell lines represent a valuable resource. Their use can lead to breakthroughs in the comprehension of disease mechanisms and potential treatment strategies, thus holding promise for advancing therapeutic avenues.
