Gene: NQO2
Official Full Name: N-ribosyldihydronicotinamide:quinone dehydrogenase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the thioredoxin family of enzymes. It is a cytosolic and ubiquitously expressed flavoprotein that catalyzes the two-electron reduction of quinone substrates and uses dihydronicotinamide riboside as a reducing coenzyme. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and several cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

NQO2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized mammalian cell lines engineered for the targeted disruption of the NQO2 gene, which encodes the enzyme NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone), critical in cellular defense against oxidative stress and bioactivation of chemotherapeutics. These knockout cell lines facilitate the study of NQO2’s role in cancer biology, neurodegenerative diseases, and pharmacology by creating a cellular environment devoid of this pivotal enzyme, thus enabling researchers to delineate its biological functions and associated pathways.
The mechanisms of action underlying these cell lines involve gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, which ensure precise deletions of the NQO2 gene, leading to the complete absence of NQO2 protein expression. This allows for the investigation of NQO2-related metabolic processes, cellular responses to oxidative stress, and the pathways affecting drug metabolism and efficacy. Researchers can utilize these models to simulate in vivo scenarios of NQO2 deficiency, providing insight into disease pathology and treatment outcomes.
Scientifically, the value of NQO2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is significant, particularly in drug discovery and development. Their applications extend to biomarker identification and therapeutic target validation, with potential implications for personalized medicine initiatives. By providing a powerful tool for elucidating the molecular role of NQO2 in various conditions, these cell lines are invaluable for both academic research and pharmaceutical development.
Compared to alternative models, NQO2 knockout lines offer specificity and high fidelity in the absence of NQO2, reducing variability associated with heterogeneity found in tissue-derived models. This results in more robust and reproducible experimental outcomes. Additionally, the ease of use and adaptability of these knockout lines facilitate diverse experimental designs, making them suitable for comprehensive mechanistic studies.
