IDH2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: IDH2

Official Full Name: isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Isocitrate dehydrogenases catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate. These enzymes belong to two distinct subclasses, one of which utilizes NAD(+) as the electron acceptor and the other NADP(+). Five isocitrate dehydrogenases have been reported: three NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, which localize to the mitochondrial matrix, and two NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, one of which is mitochondrial and the other predominantly cytosolic. Each NADP(+)-dependent isozyme is a homodimer. The protein encoded by this gene is the NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase found in the mitochondria. It plays a role in intermediary metabolism and energy production. This protein may tightly associate or interact with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Background

IDH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) gene, which plays a critical role in cellular metabolism and the regulation of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. These cell lines serve as valuable tools for researchers investigating the biological ramifications of IDH2 deficiency and its implications in various pathophysiological processes, including cancer development and metabolic disorders. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology or other knockout methodologies, these cell lines facilitate detailed studies of IDH2 function, allowing for the dissection of its metabolic pathways and the ergogenic adaptation of cells in response to IDH2 loss.

The unique function of IDH2 in converting isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate is essential for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. The absence of IDH2 alters cellular redox status and influences the production of oncometabolites, such as 2-hydroxyglutarate, which can drive tumorigenesis through epigenetic modifications. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies, especially in oncology, where IDH mutations frequently occur.

In research and clinical applications, the IDH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out due to their ability to mimic IDH2-deficient states, enabling the study of drug responses and the identification of novel therapeutic targets. Compared to traditional cell lines, these knockout models provide a more accurate representation of pathophysiological conditions, yielding valuable insights into disease mechanisms.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of IDH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential to facilitate groundbreaking discoveries in metabolic disease and cancer research. By integrating these advanced cell models into their investigations, professionals can accelerate the translation of findings into clinical settings.
