MCOLN2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MCOLN2

Official Full Name: mucolipin TRP cation channel 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Mucolipins constitute a family of cation channel proteins with homology to the transient receptor potential superfamily. In mammals, the mucolipin family includes 3 members, MCOLN1 (MIM 605248), MCOLN2, and MCOLN3 (MIM 607400), that exhibit a common 6-membrane-spanning topology. Homologs of mammalian mucolipins exist in Drosophila and C. elegans. Mutations in the human MCOLN1 gene cause mucolipodosis IV (MIM 262650) (Karacsonyi et al., 2007 [PubMed 17662026]).[supplied by OMIM, Sep 2009]

Background

MCOLN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the MCOLN2 gene, which encodes a key protein responsible for lysosomal function and cation transport. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology, these knockout cell lines exhibit a precise disruption of the MCOLN2 gene, facilitating the study of its biological roles and associated disease mechanisms. By eliminating the gene, researchers can observe the resultant phenotypic changes, particularly in intracellular calcium signaling and lysosomal activity, both of which are critical for cellular homeostasis.

The essential function of the MCOLN2 protein includes regulating ion transport across lysosomal membranes, which is vital for maintaining cellular levels of calcium and other cations. This role is particularly significant in relation to diseases such as mucolipidosis type IV, where understanding the genetic underpinnings can lead to the development of targeted therapies. As a valuable tool in molecular and cellular biology, these knockout cell lines are indispensable in drug discovery, gene therapy research, and the investigation of lysosomal storage disorders.

Compared to traditional cell models, MCOLN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a unique advantage by offering a clear genetic background devoid of the MCOLN2 gene, ensuring that observed physiological effects can be attributed directly to the loss of this specific protein. This precision enhances reproducibility and controls experimental variables, significantly benefiting researchers seeking reliable data.

For researchers and clinicians focused on lysosomal dysfunction, these knockout cell lines offer a powerful platform for elucidating complex biological pathways and testing therapeutic interventions. They enable investigations that can accelerate research findings into clinical applications, making them an essential addition to any laboratory's toolkit.

With extensive experience in producing high-quality biological products, our company is committed to advancing research through innovative solutions like the MCOLN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, empowering scientists in their quest for new discoveries and therapeutic breakthroughs.
