Gene: NOD2
Official Full Name: nucleotide binding oligomerization domain containing 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the Nod1/Apaf-1 family and encodes a protein with two caspase recruitment (CARD) domains and six leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). The protein is primarily expressed in the peripheral blood leukocytes. It plays a role in the immune response to intracellular bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) by recognizing the muramyl dipeptide (MDP) derived from them and activating the NFKB protein. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Crohn disease and Blau syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

NOD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models in which the Nucleotide-binding Oligomerization Domain 2 (NOD2) gene has been selectively disrupted. NOD2 is pivotal in innate immunity, primarily recognized for its role in sensing bacterial peptidoglycans, triggering pro-inflammatory responses, and influencing autophagy. These knockout cell lines facilitate detailed studies on the functions of NOD2, elucidating its contributions to various cellular processes including immune signaling pathways and inflammatory responses.
The precise mechanism behind the utility of NOD2 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide insights into the physiological and pathological effects associated with NOD2 deficiency. Researchers utilize these cell lines to investigate the molecular underpinnings of diseases such as Crohn's disease, bacterial infections, and autoimmune disorders. Control over the NOD2 gene allows scientists to explore unaltered pathways alongside their dysfunctional counterparts, revealing critical insights into how NOD2 influences immune response and inflammation.
The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their applications in drug discovery and development, particularly in identifying new therapeutic targets for treatment-resistant inflammatory conditions. Compared to traditional cell lines, our NOD2 knockout models are optimized for reproducibility and ease of manipulation, ensuring higher fidelity results in experimental studies.
Users will find significant advantages in our expertly validated cell lines, which are designed to minimize off-target effects and provide robust, reliable data. This specificity is crucial for researchers focusing on the nuances of innate immune responses, making these cell lines an indispensable tool in both academic and clinical research.
