OSBPL2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: OSBPL2

Official Full Name: oxysterol binding protein like 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) family, a group of intracellular lipid receptors. Most members contain an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal OSBP-like sterol-binding domain, although the encoded protein contains only the sterol-binding domain. In vitro studies have shown that the encoded protein can bind strongly to phosphatic acid and weakly to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, but cannot bind to 25-hydroxycholesterol. The protein associates with the Golgi apparatus. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

Background

OSBPL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been genetically engineered to lack the expression of the OSBPL2 gene, which encodes the oxysterol-binding protein-like 2. These cell lines are essential tools in biomedical research, offering a unique platform to dissect the physiological roles of OSBPL2 in lipid metabolism, cell signaling, and related pathways. The knockout of OSBPL2 can lead to alterations in cellular lipid profiles and membrane dynamics, providing researchers with insights into its functional implications in various biological processes.

The functionality of these cell lines hinges on the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, which allows for precise and efficient generation of gene knockouts. By providing a robust mechanism to target specific genes for disruption, these cell lines facilitate the exploration of OSBPL2's role in health and disease, particularly in metabolic disorders and cancers where lipid regulation is crucial. Moreover, researchers can employ these models for high-throughput screening of potential therapeutic compounds that could modulate the activity of OSBPL2 or its associated pathways.

The scientific importance of OSBPL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends into clinical research, where they can be utilized to understand OSBPL2's involvement in diseases such as atherosclerosis, fatty liver disease, and neurodegeneration. Their ability to reproduce key aspects of physiological processes makes them invaluable for investigators exploring targeted therapies and biomarkers.

Compared to traditional cell lines that express the OSBPL2 gene, these knockout models offer distinct advantages, including the elimination of confounding variables associated with OSBPL2 activity. This purity in model design enhances data reliability and reproducibility, making studies more impactful. Additionally, the cell lines can be conveniently used in pharmacological assays and mechanistic studies to unravel novel pathways and identify potential drug targets.

Researchers and clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of lipid biology and its implications in health and disease will find OSBPL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines to be indispensable. The precision and utility of these cell lines can accelerate study timelines and improve outcomes in translational research efforts.

Our company is committed to advancing biological research through high-quality and innovative genetic models such as OSBPL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, highlighting our expertise in genetic engineering and dedication to supporting the scientific community's quest for new discoveries.
