Gene: MDH2
Official Full Name: malate dehydrogenase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Malate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate, utilizing the NAD/NADH cofactor system in the citric acid cycle. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondria and may play pivotal roles in the malate-aspartate shuttle that operates in the metabolic coordination between cytosol and mitochondria. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

MDH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have had the malate dehydrogenase 2 gene (MDH2) inactivated, allowing researchers to study the physiological and pathological roles of this crucial enzyme in cellular metabolism. MDH2 is integral to the citric acid cycle, facilitating the conversion of malate to oxaloacetate, a key step in energy production. By using these knockout cell lines, scientists can explore the consequences of MDH2 deficiency, including alterations in metabolic pathways, mitochondrial function, and cellular stress responses.
Key functions of MDH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include providing a platform for investigating the effects of impaired metabolic processes on cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation. Studies utilizing these models can elucidate the gene's role in disease states, such as cancer, where altered metabolism is a hallmark of tumorigenesis. By employing advanced techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, these knockout cell lines exhibit reliable and reproducible genetic modification, making them valuable for functional studies involving metabolic diseases or drug response assays.
The scientific importance of MDH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines spans both basic research and clinical applications. In research settings, they facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and contribute to the understanding of metabolic dysfunctions in various diseases. Clinically, these models can aid in the development of targeted therapies that restore normal metabolic function or combat metabolic disorders.
Compared to other available cell lines, MDH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages such as precise gene targeting, a well-characterized genetic background, and the ability to study the enzyme's role in diverse experimental conditions, which are often not achievable with wild-type cell lines. This precision in research leads to more robust experimental outcomes and enhances translational potential.
