NMT2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: NMT2

Official Full Name: N-myristoyltransferase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of two N-myristoyltransferase proteins. N-terminal myristoylation is a lipid modification that is involved in regulating the function and localization of signaling proteins. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of many signaling proteins, including the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) proteins, Gag and Nef. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

Background

NMT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to investigate the function of the N-myristoyltransferase 2 (NMT2) gene, which is critical in the post-translational modification of proteins through myristoylation. These cell lines feature targeted deletions of the NMT2 gene, allowing researchers to study the impacts of myristoylation on various cellular processes, including signal transduction, membrane dynamics, and protein stability. By utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, these cell lines provide a reliable and reproducible method for researching the role of NMT2 in cellular physiology and pathology.

The mechanism of action for these knockout cell lines hinges on the absence of the NMT2 enzyme, which plays an essential role in the myristoylation of glycine residues on target proteins. This modification is known to affect protein localization, interaction, and function. Consequently, by using NMT2 knockout cells, researchers can observe the resulting phenotypic changes, offering invaluable insights into various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, where protein mislocalization and dysfunction are often implicated.

NMT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are particularly significant in both basic research and clinical applications, serving as a resource for drug discovery and biomarker identification. Their utility in translational research enhances their value in pharmaceutical development, where understanding the myristoylation process can reveal novel therapeutic targets and treatment strategies for conditions linked to NMT2 dysregulation.

Distinctively, these cell lines offer researchers a streamlined approach compared to traditional models, which may require extensive manipulation and are often confounded by background expression levels of the gene of interest. The precision of knockout technology ensures high specificity and fidelity, enabling robust experimental outcomes. Furthermore, our product provides a user-friendly platform for high-throughput screening and functional assays, making it accessible for both seasoned researchers and newcomers to the field.

In summary, NMT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stand out as a vital tool for advancing our understanding of myristoylation and its impacts on cellular function. Our company specializes in developing cutting-edge biological products, and we are committed to equipping researchers and clinicians with the resources needed to explore the complexities of gene function and develop innovative solutions in health and disease.
