Gene: KCNAB2
Official Full Name: potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A regulatory beta subunit 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. This member is one of the beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins associating with functional Kv-alpha subunits. This member alters functional properties of the KCNA4 gene product. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

KCNAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered cellular models that lack the KCNAB2 gene, which encodes for the beta subunit of voltage-gated potassium channels. This product serves as a critical tool for investigating the physiological and pathological roles of KCNAB2 in various cellular processes, including neuronal excitability, muscle contraction, and cardiac function. By providing a reliable system in which the influence of this specific gene can be eliminated, researchers gain an invaluable pathway to dissect the mechanisms governing ion channel activity and the associated biological implications.
The functionality of KCNAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is rooted in the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, which allows for precise modifications at the genomic level, ensuring that the disruption of KCNAB2 is both efficient and reproducible. This knockout leads to significant alterations in potassium ion conductance, providing pivotal insights into excitability and signaling pathways in affected tissues. Such models are indispensable for scientists aiming to study diseases linked to ion channel dysfunction, such as cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders.
In terms of scientific importance, these cell lines are applicable in both research and clinical settings. They are ideal for pharmacological studies, where the delineation of drug interactions with KCNAB2-related pathways can guide therapeutic development. Furthermore, in preclinical settings, these knockout models can assist in understanding disease mechanisms and evaluating potential gene-targeted therapies.
What sets KCNAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their specificity and the validated nature of the knockout, which enhances experimental reliability. Additionally, they come with comprehensive documentation and user-friendly protocols designed to facilitate easy integration into existing laboratory workflows, making them accessible even to researchers new to gene editing techniques.
For researchers and clinicians focused on advancing our understanding of ion channel biology and its clinical implications, KCNAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a breakthrough product that simplifies complex studies while enhancing the quality of data obtained. Our company has a legacy of excellence in producing high-quality biological tools, ensuring that these knockout lines are developed under stringent quality control measures, reinforcing their reliability and effectiveness for all applications.
