Gene: IGF2R
Official Full Name: insulin like growth factor 2 receptorprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a receptor for both insulin-like growth factor 2 and mannose 6-phosphate. The binding sites for each ligand are located on different segments of the protein. This receptor has various functions, including in the intracellular trafficking of lysosomal enzymes, the activation of transforming growth factor beta, and the degradation of insulin-like growth factor 2. Mutation or loss of heterozygosity of this gene has been association with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The orthologous mouse gene is imprinted and shows exclusive expression from the maternal allele; however, imprinting of the human gene may be polymorphic, as only a minority of individuals showed biased expression from the maternal allele (PMID:8267611).

IGF2R gene knockout cell lines are specifically engineered cellular models lacking functional insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) genes, allowing researchers to investigate the multifaceted roles of this receptor in various physiological and pathological conditions. IGF2R plays a pivotal role in the regulation of growth factor signaling, particularly involving insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathways crucial for cellular growth, development, and metabolism. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, scientists can dissect the mechanisms underlying IGF signaling, study receptor trafficking, and examine the consequential effects of IGF2R deficiency on cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation.
The significance of IGF2R gene knockout cell lines extends across basic research and translational medicine. In oncology, for example, understanding IGF2R interactions can provide insights into tumorigenesis and the aberrant signaling pathways linked to cancer progression. In metabolic studies, these cell lines can be instrumental for examining conditions such as obesity and diabetes, where IGF2R is implicated in metabolic regulation and insulin signaling. By utilizing these knockout models, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the receptor's role, facilitating the development of targeted therapies and innovative diagnostic tools.
One of the unique selling points of IGF2R gene knockout cell lines lies in their specificity and reliability. Unlike traditional methods of gene knockdown, such as RNA interference, knockout models offer a complete deletion of the gene, thereby eliminating confounding interactions. This specificity allows for clearer interpretation of experimental results and increases reproducibility across studies. Additionally, these cell lines can be easily incorporated into high-throughput screening assays, making them valuable for pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications.
