Gene: IQGAP2
Official Full Name: IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the IQGAP family. The encoded protein contains three IQ domains, one calponin homology domain, one Ras-GAP domain and one WW domain. This protein interacts with components of the cytoskeleton, with cell adhesion molecules, and with several signaling molecules to regulate cell morphology and motility. It also acts as a tumor suppressor and has been found to play a role in regulating innate antiviral responses. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

IQGAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell models characterized by the intentional disruption of the IQGAP2 gene, known to play a critical role in various cellular processes including cytoskeletal dynamics, signal transduction, and cell adhesion. By employing advanced gene editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, these cell lines enable researchers to study the functional consequences of IQGAP2 deletion and the subsequent effects on cellular behavior and pathology.
The key function of IQGAP2 is its involvement in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization and cell motility, which are paramount in understanding processes such as cancer metastasis and neurodevelopmental disorders. By utilizing knockout cell lines, scientists can elucidate the mechanistic pathways affected by IQGAP2 loss, providing insights into tumorigenesis, inflammation, and neurological function.
Scientific importance is underscored by the growing body of research linking IQGAP2 to various diseases, including colorectal cancer, autism spectrum disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. In clinical settings, findings derived from these knockout models can pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies and biomarker development, thus bridging fundamental research with translational medicine.
Unlike alternative models, such as transient silencing or chemical inhibitors, IQGAP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer permanent alteration at the genetic level, ensuring consistent and reproducible results across experiments. This genetic fidelity allows researchers to engage in long-term studies and enables the exploration of complex biological phenomena influenced by IQGAP2 without the confounding variables introduced by transient methods.
