OLIG2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: OLIG2

Official Full Name: oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. The protein is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. The gene is involved in a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22) associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Its chromosomal location is within a region of chromosome 21 which has been suggested to play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

OLIG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines developed to lack the expression of the OLIG2 gene, which is critically involved in the development of oligodendrocytes and motor neurons in the central nervous system. By creating these knockout models, researchers can effectively investigate the role of OLIG2 in neural differentiation, myelination, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The primary function of these cell lines lies in their ability to elucidate the downstream effects of OLIG2 depletion. This is achieved through various molecular and cellular assays that evaluate changes in gene expression profiles, metabolic activity, and cell fate decisions. Through the absence of OLIG2, scientists can dissect complex interactions within oligodendrocyte precursor cells and assess the gene's influence on critical pathways involved in myelination and cellular response to injury.

The scientific importance of OLIG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to various research domains, including developmental biology, neurobiology, and regenerative medicine. These models have significant applications in understanding diseases such as multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), where oligodendrocyte dysfunction is a contributing factor. Their use can also advance therapeutic developments aimed at promoting remyelination or ameliorating motor neuron degeneration.

What sets OLIG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their specificity and reliability. The targeted inactivation of the OLIG2 gene ensures a clear phenotype related to OLIG2 function, allowing for focused studies that are often obscured in mixed-cell populations. Additionally, these cell lines are rigorously validated for stability and reproducibility, offering robust experimental platforms for consistent outcomes.

For researchers and clinicians invested in neurobiological studies and therapeutic innovations, the OLIG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable tool that not only enhances the understanding of oligodendrocyte biology but also accelerates advances in treatment strategies. Our company specializes in delivering high-quality, genetically modified cell lines that meet stringent research needs, backed by a commitment to scientific excellence and customer support.
