Gene: KCNH2
Official Full Name: potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a component of a voltage-activated potassium channel found in cardiac muscle, nerve cells, and microglia. Four copies of this protein interact with one copy of the KCNE2 protein to form a functional potassium channel. Mutations in this gene can cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). Transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

KCNH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been genetically engineered to lack the KCNH2 gene, which encodes the potassium ion channel responsible for critical electrical signaling in cardiac tissues. These cell lines serve as powerful tools for studying the function of KCNH2 in both physiological and pathological contexts, thus unraveling its role in cardiac electrophysiology and the molecular mechanisms underlying certain cardiac disorders, such as Long QT Syndrome.
The primary function of KCNH2 in cardiac cells involves the regulation of action potential duration and cardiac rhythm. By utilizing KCNH2 knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively dissect the electrophysiological changes that result from the absence of this gene, allowing for an in-depth analysis of ionic currents and heart rhythms. This provides essential insights into the mechanisms of arrhythmias and other related conditions, making these cell lines invaluable in translational research and drug screening.
The scientific importance of KCNH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into clinical implications as they facilitate the understanding of genetic predisposition to cardiac diseases and aid in the development of new therapeutics. Researchers and clinicians can employ these models for high-throughput screening of pharmacological agents aimed at mitigating the effects of KCNH2 disruptions, thus fostering advancements in personalized medicine.
One of the distinct advantages of KCNH2 knockout cell lines over traditional models is their specificity and reproducibility in reflecting KCNH2-related pathophysiology. Unlike whole-animal models or heterogenous cell populations, these knockout lines provide a controlled environment that allows for precise manipulation and observation of KCNH2 function without confounding variables.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to understand cardiac ion channel biology, KCNH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer an unparalleled opportunity to elucidate the intricate connections between genetics and heart health, ultimately enhancing efforts toward innovative therapeutic solutions. Our company prides itself on its expertise in providing high-quality gene-edited cell lines, ensuring that researchers have access to cutting-edge tools that facilitate impactful discoveries in the realm of cardiovascular health.
