Gene: MGST2
Official Full Name: microsomal glutathione S-transferase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The MAPEG (Membrane Associated Proteins in Eicosanoid and Glutathione metabolism) family consists of six human proteins, several of which are involved in the production of leukotrienes and prostaglandin E, important mediators of inflammation. This gene encodes a protein which catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 and reduced glutathione to produce leukotriene C4. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

MGST2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are precisely engineered cellular models designed to study the role of the MGST2 gene (Microsomal Glutathione S-transferase 2) in various biological processes and diseases. These cell lines have undergone targeted gene editing to disrupt the MGST2 gene's expression, facilitating a deeper understanding of its functional contributions, particularly in detoxification and oxidative stress responses.
The key mechanism underlying the function of MGST2 involves its role in the conjugation of glutathione to various substrates, a process crucial for cellular defense against oxidative stress and toxic compounds. By employing gene knockout models, researchers can elucidate the pathways impacted by the absence of MGST2, including its implications in drug metabolism, apoptosis, and cellular signaling pathways.
The scientific importance of MGST2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both research and clinical applications. In research, these cell lines are invaluable for investigating the mechanistic underpinnings of diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disorders, where oxidative stress plays a significant role. Clinically, findings derived from such models can inform therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating oxidative stress, potentially leading to new treatments or drug development.
Compared to alternatives like wild-type cell lines or transiently transfected models, the MGST2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a stable, reproducible platform for studying the gene's complete loss-of-function effects. This robustness ensures more reliable data, enhancing the interpretation of experimental results and their translational potential.
For researchers and clinicians alike, these cell lines represent a critical tool in advancing our understanding of cellular mechanisms and developing targeted therapies. Our company specializes in high-quality cell models, grounded in scientific expertise and innovation, providing the tools necessary for breakthroughs in biological research and therapeutic development.
