MBD2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MBD2

Official Full Name: methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). Each of these proteins, with the exception of MBD3, is capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA. MECP2, MBD1 and MBD2 can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. The protein encoded by this gene may function as a mediator of the biological consequences of the methylation signal. It is also reported that the this protein functions as a demethylase to activate transcription, as DNA methylation causes gene silencing. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Background

MBD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models characterized by the specific inactivation of the MBD2 gene, which plays a critical role in mediating DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling. These cell lines are crucial tools for investigating gene regulation mechanisms, epigenetics, and their implications in various biological processes and diseases.

The primary function of MBD2 is to bind to methylated DNA, thus regulating gene expression by influencing chromatin structure. The knockout of the MBD2 gene allows researchers to dissect its role in gene silencing, revealing how alterations in DNA methylation contribute to oncogenesis, neurodevelopmental disorders, and other pathologies. The absence of MBD2 in these cell lines creates a unique model for studying epigenetic modifications and their downstream effects on cellular behavior and gene expression.

The scientific importance of MBD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their application in both fundamental research and clinical settings. In research, they serve as invaluable assets for elucidating the mechanisms of transcription regulation and the epigenetic basis of various diseases. Clinically, findings derived from these cell lines can aid in the development of targeted therapies that can overcome epigenetic dysregulation in cancer and other conditions.

One of the key advantages of our MBD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines over traditional methods of gene editing, such as CRISPR, is their pre-validated status, thereby reducing the time needed for researchers to establish stable knockout models. This streamlining accelerates research timelines and enhances reproducibility in studies focused on the MBD2 pathway.

By providing high-quality MBD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, our company not only leverages cutting-edge genetic engineering techniques but also demonstrates a commitment to advancing scientific understanding in the field of epigenetics. Our expertise in developing biologically relevant models enables researchers and clinicians to explore innovative solutions to complex biological challenges, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of healthcare and research efficacy.
