Gene: KIF2A
Official Full Name: kinesin family member 2Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a plus end-directed motor required for normal mitotic progression. The encoded protein is required for normal spindle activity during mitosis and is necessary for normal brain development. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

KIF2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to specifically lack the expression of the KIF2A gene, which encodes a motor protein belonging to the kinesin superfamily. This unique modification allows researchers to investigate the physiological and pathological roles of KIF2A in mitotic processes, intracellular transport, and cell cycle regulation. By effectively disrupting the normal function of KIF2A, these cell lines provide a robust platform for analyzing cellular behaviors, enabling precise assessment of molecular pathways influenced by this critical gene.
The key mechanism by which KIF2A Knockout Cells operate lies in their inability to perform essential tasks associated with microtubule dynamics, crucial for mitosis and maintaining cellular integrity. This deficiency can lead to various observable phenotypic changes, including altered cell proliferation, increased susceptibility to stress, and impaired cell division. Such effects are especially significant in cancer research, where aberrant KIF2A function can contribute to tumorigenesis and metastasis.
The scientific importance of KIF2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends across various fields, including cancer biology, neurobiology, and developmental research. Their applications serve to elucidate the molecular underpinnings of diseases associated with KIF2A dysfunction, providing insight into therapeutic targets and potential interventions. Researchers can employ these cell lines in high-throughput screening and drug development to identify compounds that may correct the dysfunctional pathways attributable to KIF2A loss.
What sets KIF2A Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their specificity and the established protocols for gene editing via CRISPR/Cas9 technology, making them a reliable choice for reproducible results. Moreover, the availability of these engineered lines often comes with extensive characterization data, streamlining the experimental design process and saving valuable time.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to expand their understanding of KIF2A's role in health and disease, these knockout cell lines provide an invaluable resource. Their capacity to mimic KIF2A-related pathologies offers an influential avenue for advancing knowledge and therapeutic strategies.
