PAFAH2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PAFAH2

Official Full Name: platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase isoform 2, a single-subunit intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the removal of the acetyl group at the SN-2 position of platelet-activating factor (identified as 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine). However, this lipase exhibits a broader substrate specificity than simply platelet activating factor. Two other isoforms of intracellular platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase exist, and both are multi-subunit enzymes. Additionally, there is a single-subunit serum isoform of this enzyme.

Background

PAFAH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized genetic models designed to facilitate the study of the platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAFAH) enzyme's biological functions. Through the precision of CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these cell lines have undergone targeted gene knockout of the PAFAH2 gene, enabling researchers to investigate the role of this enzyme in lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, and related cellular processes. The knockout of PAFAH2 gene not only disrupts normal enzymatic function but also creates a unique platform for the exploration of pathways influenced by altered PAF levels, unveiling insights into various physiological and pathological conditions.

These cell lines function as an invaluable tool for enhancing our understanding of disease mechanisms, including cardiovascular diseases and neuroinflammation, which are associated with aberrant lipid signaling pathways. Their use in research settings allows for precise modeling of conditions where PAFAH activity is altered, making them ideal for pharmacological studies and drug discovery endeavors.

The scientific importance of the PAFAH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond laboratory convenience; it offers unique advantages in terms of specificity and reproducibility. Unlike existing alternatives, these knockout lines provide a clear genetic background specifically devoid of PAFAH2 function, minimizing confounding variables. This high fidelity increases both the reliability of experimental outcomes and the potential for translational applications in the clinical setting.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the ability to study the specific contributions of PAFAH2 enhances the understanding of lipid-related diseases and may open new avenues for targeted therapeutic strategies. As a company dedicated to advancing biological research, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality genetic tools, and our PAFAH2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines exemplify our commitment to supporting the scientific community in their quest for groundbreaking discoveries.
