Gene: LOXL2
Official Full Name: lysyl oxidase like 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lysyl oxidase gene family. The prototypic member of the family is essential to the biogenesis of connective tissue, encoding an extracellular copper-dependent amine oxidase that catalyses the first step in the formation of crosslinks in collagens and elastin. A highly conserved amino acid sequence at the C-terminus end appears to be sufficient for amine oxidase activity, suggesting that each family member may retain this function. The N-terminus is poorly conserved and may impart additional roles in developmental regulation, senescence, tumor suppression, cell growth control, and chemotaxis to each member of the family.

LOXL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines designed to facilitate the study of lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2), an enzyme implicated in various biological processes including extracellular matrix remodeling, wound healing, and tumor progression. By selectively knocking out the LOXL2 gene, these cell lines allow researchers to elucidate the specific roles and mechanisms of this enzyme in cellular behavior and disease pathology.
The primary function of LOXL2 is to catalyze the cross-linking of collagens and elastin, which are critical components of the extracellular matrix. The knockout of LOXL2 leads to altered cellular phenotypes, providing valuable insights into the enzyme's influence on tissue stiffness, cell signaling pathways, and the tumor microenvironment. Researchers can use these cell lines to model diseases such as cancer, fibrosis, and cardiovascular ailments, enabling the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
Scientifically, LOXL2 has been recognized for its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic candidate in various pathologies, thus making these knockout cell lines indispensable in translational research. Their unique advantage lies in the precise genetic modification, which allows for controlled experiments that yield reproducible and reliable data. Compared to standard wild-type cell lines, LOXL2 gene knockout models provide a more accurate reflection of the molecular alterations associated with LOXL2 dysfunction.
For researchers and clinicians, utilizing LOXL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines translates into enhanced understanding of disease mechanisms, improved preclinical models, and the potential for developing targeted therapies. By bridging the gap between basic and applied research, these cell lines represent a significant step forward in the study of LOXL2-related diseases.
