Gene: IREB2
Official Full Name: iron responsive element binding protein 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an RNA-binding protein that acts to regulate iron levels in the cells by regulating the translation and stability of mRNAs that affect iron homeostasis under conditions when iron is depleted. When iron levels are low, this protein binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES), stem-loop structures located either in the 5' or 3' UTRs. Binding to the 5' UTR represses translation, while binding to the 3' UTR inhibits mRNA degradation. When iron is found in the cell, this protein is degraded in a F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 5-dependent manner. Variants in this gene have been associated with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

IREB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically modified to lack the expression of the iron-responsive element-binding protein 2 (IREB2), a critical regulator of iron homeostasis and cellular iron metabolism. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for researchers studying the complex pathways involved in iron regulation, cellular metabolism, and related disease processes. By selectively knocking out the IREB2 gene, these models facilitate the investigation of phenotypic alterations linked to disrupted iron homeostasis, enabling a deeper understanding of conditions such as anemia, neurodegeneration, and certain cancers.
The mechanism behind the functionality of these knockout cell lines relies on the loss of IREB2's binding capability to iron-responsive elements (IREs) in mRNA, leading to altered expression of key iron-related genes. Consequently, researchers can study the resulting impact on cellular iron uptake, storage, and release, which plays a critical role in maintaining cellular health and function. The IREB2 knockout model is particularly significant in both basic research and translational studies, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers related to iron metabolism disorders.
