LONP2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: LONP2

Official Full Name: lon peptidase 2, peroxisomalprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: In human, peroxisomes function primarily to catalyze fatty acid beta-oxidation and, as a by-product, produce hydrogen peroxide and superoxide. The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-dependent protease that likely plays a role in maintaining overall peroxisome homeostasis as well as proteolytically degrading peroxisomal proteins damaged by oxidation. The protein has an N-terminal Lon N substrate recognition domain, an ATPase domain, a proteolytic domain, and, in some isoforms, a C-terminal peroxisome targeting sequence. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

Background

LONP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced genetic models designed to facilitate the study of the LONP2 (Lon Peptidase 2) gene, which encodes a mitochondrial protease known for its critical role in mitochondrial protein quality control and cellular metabolism. These engineered cell lines have undergone precise genomic editing to disable the LONP2 gene, resulting in a loss of function that allows researchers to dissect the phenotypic consequences of LONP2 deficiency.

The primary mechanism of action behind LONP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the absence of the LONP2 protein, leading to impaired mitochondrial function, increased oxidative stress, and altered protein turnover. Consequently, these cell lines present invaluable tools for elucidating the biological pathways influenced by LONP2, particularly in contexts of mitochondrial dysfunction; thus, they provide insight into various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic syndromes.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their applications in both basic research and clinical investigations. They can help researchers explore mechanistic insights into mitochondrial-related diseases, screen for potential therapeutic compounds, and assess gene therapy approaches targeting mitochondrial dysfunction.

Compared to conventional cell lines, LONP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer the distinct advantage of providing a model specifically tailored for studying LONP2-related pathways. This precision allows for more targeted and relevant experimental designs, enhancing the reproducibility and translational potential of research findings.

For researchers and clinicians focused on mitochondrial biology or therapeutic innovation, the value of these cell lines is undeniable. They offer the unique opportunity to generate data that could ultimately inform clinical applications and improve patient outcomes.

Our company excels in the provision of high-quality, genetically modified cell lines, bringing together cutting-edge technology and extensive expertise to support the scientific community's research needs. By providing LONP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, we are committed to advancing the frontier of mitochondrial research and therapeutic development.
