PADI2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PADI2

Official Full Name: peptidyl arginine deiminase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the peptidyl arginine deiminase family of enzymes, which catalyze the post-translational deimination of proteins by converting arginine residues into citrullines in the presence of calcium ions. The family members have distinct substrate specificities and tissue-specific expression patterns. The type II enzyme is the most widely expressed family member. Known substrates for this enzyme include myelin basic protein in the central nervous system and vimentin in skeletal muscle and macrophages. This enzyme is thought to play a role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative human disorders, including Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis, and it has also been implicated in glaucoma pathogenesis. This gene exists in a cluster with four other paralogous genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PADI2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the expression of the protein-coding gene PADI2 (Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase 2). This gene is known for its role in post-translational modifications, specifically in the citrullination process where arginine residues in proteins are converted to citrullines, impacting gene expression, immune responses, and the development of various diseases. By knocking out PADI2, these cell lines serve as a powerful tool for researchers to dissect the functional roles of PADI2 in cellular signaling pathways and disease mechanisms.

The primary mechanism by which PADI2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines operate involves the abrogation of citrullination-mediated modifications, allowing scientists to investigate the downstream effects associated with altered protein function, gene regulation, and cell differentiation. In essence, the absence of PADI2 facilitates a clearer understanding of pathological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, where aberrant citrullination patterns have been implicated.

From a scientific standpoint, these cell lines are invaluable for both basic and applied research. They provide a reliable system for identifying potential therapeutic targets, evaluating drug effects, and elucidating compound mechanisms of action, thereby leading to innovations in treatment strategies. Clinically, the insights generated from studies using these models can inform personalized medicine approaches and biomarker development.

Compared to alternative gene knockout models, our PADI2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unmatched specificity and reproducibility, as they are meticulously validated to ensure consistent phenotypic characteristics across experiments. Additionally, our product is supported by comprehensive technical documentation, including protocols for culturing and functional assays, making it accessible for researchers at all levels.

In summary, PADI2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical innovation in the study of post-translational modifications and their implications in health and disease. Our company's expertise in creating high-quality, precision-engineered biological products guarantees researchers and clinicians the reliability needed to advance their work and impact the scientific community positively.
