Gene: MASP2
Official Full Name: MBL associated serine protease 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S1 family of serine proteases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate A and B chains that heterodimerize to form the mature protease. This protease cleaves complement components C2 and C4 in order to generate C3 convertase in the lectin pathway of the complement system. The encoded protease also plays a role in the coagulation cascade through cleavage of prothrombin to form thrombin. Myocardial infarction and acute stroke patients exhibit reduced serum concentrations of the encoded protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

MASP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to facilitate the study of the Mannan-Binding Lectin Serine Peptidase 2 (MASP2) gene function. These cell lines are created through techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, which introduces targeted modifications to the MASP2 gene, resulting in its complete knockout. This enables researchers to investigate the biological implications of MASP2 loss, which plays a crucial role in the lectin pathway of the complement system, essential for innate immunity.
The primary function of MASP2 is its involvement in the activation of complement proteins, contributing to pathogen opsonization, inflammation, and clearance of immune complexes. By understanding the mechanistic pathways disrupted by the absence of MASP2, researchers can explore its implications in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and inflammatory conditions. The MASP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as invaluable tools in both research and clinical laboratories, providing insights into the gene's role in immune response and potential therapeutic interventions.
In comparison to existing alternatives, our MASP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines come with several advantages, including high specificity, versatility across various platforms, and easy handling, making them ideal for high-throughput screening and characterization studies. This targeted approach allows researchers to delve deeper into the specific contributions of MASP2 without the confounding effects of other genetic factors.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to expand their understanding of the complement system and its role in health and disease, these knockout cell lines present a unique opportunity to uncover new therapeutic strategies. Our company prides itself on delivering quality biological products backed by extensive expertise in genetic engineering and molecular biology, ensuring that scientists have access to the best tools for their pioneering work.
