Gene: INSIG2
Official Full Name: insulin induced gene 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the protein product encoded by gene INSIG1. Both INSIG1 protein and this protein are endoplasmic reticulum proteins that block the processing of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) by binding to SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), and thus prevent SCAP from escorting SREBPs to the Golgi.

INSIG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines designed to facilitate the study of the INSIG2 gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis and lipid metabolism. The knockouts are created using advanced CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, enabling precise deletion of the INSIG2 gene, thereby allowing researchers to investigate the gene’s functional implications without the interference of wild-type expression.
These cell lines serve multiple key functions, primarily in elucidating the mechanisms through which INSIG2 affects lipid metabolism and cellular signaling pathways. By creating a controlled environment where INSIG2 is non-functional, scientists can observe changes in cholesterol levels, lipogenesis, and the activation or inhibition of associated signaling cascades. This provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disorders, including obesity and atherosclerosis.
In terms of scientific importance, INSIG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for both basic research and translational medicine. They offer a platform for studying the genetic and biochemical mechanisms of metabolism-related diseases, with applications in academia, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological sectors. Furthermore, they can facilitate drug discovery efforts aimed at mitigating metabolic diseases by screening compounds that influence INSIG2-related pathways.
One of the distinct advantages of these cell lines is their precise gene editing, which minimizes off-target effects commonly associated with other knockout methods. Unlike conventional knockouts that may involve random insertions or deletions, CRISPR-Cas9 technology ensures targeted alterations, enhancing the validity of experimental results. Moreover, these cell lines can be easily maintained and expanded, allowing researchers to conduct longitudinal studies without significant variability.
For researchers and clinicians focusing on metabolic diseases, the INSIG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a powerful tool that can deepen understanding, accelerate research discoveries, and foster innovative therapeutic approaches. Their availability supports cutting-edge scientific endeavors aimed at unraveling the complexities of lipid metabolism disorders.
