ITPR2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ITPR2

Official Full Name: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor family, whose members are second messenger intracellular calcium release channels. These proteins mediate a rise in cytoplasmic calcium in response to receptor activated production of inositol triphosphate. Inositol triphosphate receptor-mediated signaling is involved in many processes including cell migration, cell division, smooth muscle contraction, and neuronal signaling. This protein is a type 2 receptor that consists of a cytoplasmic amino-terminus that binds inositol triphosphate, six membrane-spanning helices that contribute to the ion pore, and a short cytoplasmic carboxy-terminus. A mutation in this gene has been associated with anhidrosis, suggesting that intracellular calcium release mediated by this protein is required for eccrine sweat production.

Background

ITPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 2 (ITPR2). This product is vital for researchers investigating signal transduction pathways and calcium signaling mechanisms. ITPR2 plays a critical role in modulating intracellular calcium release, which is essential for various cellular functions, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and cellular metabolism. By providing researchers with ITPR2 knockout models, these cell lines enable a clearer understanding of the gene's role in cellular responses and physiological processes.

The mechanism of action of ITPR2 knockout cell lines revolves around the disruption of normal ITPR2 signaling pathways. The absence of this receptor allows for the study of compensatory mechanisms within cellular calcium regulation and can shed light on the implications of altered calcium dynamics in health and disease. This research is particularly relevant in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and cardiac dysfunction, where calcium signaling is often disrupted.

These cell lines are crucial in both research and clinical settings, facilitating the exploration of therapeutic targets and drug development strategies. They offer significant value in examining the physiological roles of ITPR2 in various cell types, enabling the investigation of potential pharmacological interventions aimed at modulating calcium homeostasis.

The unique advantage of ITPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their specificity and precision as a tool for studying the consequences of gene loss within controlled experimental conditions. Unlike alternative models such as siRNA knockdowns, which may lead to partial attenuation of the target, these knockout cell lines provide a complete ablation of ITPR2 function. This enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes and improves the reproducibility of results.

For researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals, ITPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines present an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the complexities of calcium signaling and its connections to various diseases. Our company specializes in creating high-fidelity genetic models that cater to the evolving needs of the scientific community, ensuring that our products are not only technically advanced but also user-friendly for seamless integration into research protocols.
