NDUFS2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NDUFS2

Official Full Name: NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (complex I). Mammalian mitochondrial complex I is composed of at least 43 different subunits, 7 of which are encoded by the mitochondrial genome, and the rest are the products of nuclear genes. The iron-sulfur protein fraction of complex I is made up of 7 subunits, including this gene product. Complex I catalyzes the NADH oxidation with concomitant ubiquinone reduction and proton ejection out of the mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Background

NDUFS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models specifically designed to study the functions and implications of the NDUFS2 gene, which encodes a key component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. These knockout cell lines are created through advanced gene editing techniques, ensuring the precise removal or disruption of the NDUFS2 gene, thereby facilitating comprehensive investigation into mitochondrial bioenergetics and associated pathologies.

The primary function of NDUFS2 is to participate in electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation, leading to ATP production. By analyzing the metabolic alterations in these knockout cell lines, researchers can study changes in mitochondrial function, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and the ensuing cellular stress responses that may contribute to various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic diseases. The loss of NDUFS2 activity directly impacts ATP synthesis and can serve as a model to explore mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends into both basic and translational research. In laboratory settings, they are invaluable for elucidating the role of the NDUFS2 gene in health and disease. Clinically, they offer a platform for testing therapeutic strategies aimed at reestablishing mitochondrial function or mitigating the effects of oxidative stress.

What sets NDUFS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other models is their robust genetic validation, reproducibility, and ability to reflect human mitochondrial physiology more closely than traditional models. This enhances their utility for drug discovery and development workflows, allowing researchers to observe the effects of potential treatments in a relevant biological context.

By choosing our NDUFS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians are better equipped to understand the intricacies of mitochondrial diseases, paving the way for innovative diagnostics and therapeutic options.
