GNRH2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: GNRH2

Official Full Name: gonadotropin releasing hormone 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) gene family. Proteins encoded by members of this gene family are proteolytically cleaved to form neuropeptides which, in part, regulate reproductive functions by stimulating the production and release of the gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The human GNRH2 gene is predicted to encode a preproprotein from which a mature neuropeptide of 10 amino acids is cleaved. However, while the human genome retains the sequence for a functional GNRH2 decapeptide, translation of the human GNRH2 gene has not yet been demonstrated and the GNRH2 gene of chimpanzees, gorilla, and Sumatran orangutan have a premature stop at codon eight of the decapeptide sequence which suggests GNRH2 was a pseudogene in the hominid lineage. The GNRH2 gene is also believed to be a pseudogene in many other mammalian species such as mouse and cow. The receptor for this gene (GNRHR2) is predicted to be a pseudogene in human as well as many other mammalian species. The closely related GNRH1 and GNRHR1 genes are functional in human and other mammals and are generally functional in vertebrates. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2019]

Background

GNRH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models in which the gene encoding gonadotropin-releasing hormone 2 (GnRH2) has been selectively disrupted. This knockout allows researchers to investigate the role of GnRH2 in various physiological and pathological conditions, particularly those related to reproduction and hormonal regulation. The elimination of GnRH2 expression facilitates an understanding of its impact on downstream signaling pathways, particularly in the context of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis.

These cell lines function primarily by creating a controlled environment to study the effects of GnRH2 absence on cellular behavior, hormone secretion, and gene regulation. In the knockout approach, techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 are utilized to ensure precise modification of the genomic DNA, leading to a functional deficiency in GnRH2. This precision allows for the elucidation of specific biochemical pathways influenced by GnRH2, which is crucial for advancing our understanding of fertility, sexual differentiation, and various endocrine disorders.

The scientific importance of GNRH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their applications across numerous research domains, including endocrinology, reproductive physiology, and cancer biology. These cell lines provide an invaluable tool for drug discovery, enabling the screening of pharmaceutical compounds that target the GnRH signaling pathways, thus offering potential therapeutic avenues for hormone-related diseases.

One of the key advantages of our GNRH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their superior specificity and reliability compared to other models, such as transient knockdown systems that do not offer the stability and longevity necessary for long-term studies. Researchers benefit from the consistency of results and reproducibility of experiments afforded by these knockout models. This product is particularly valuable to academic and clinical researchers aiming to push the boundaries of knowledge in the field of reproductive health and hormonal regulation.

With our expertise in producing high-quality biological products, we ensure that our GNRH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines meet the stringent demands of modern research, providing an exceptional resource for scientists striving to unlock the complexities of hormonal interactions.
