PANX2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PANX2

Official Full Name: pannexin 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the innexin family. Innexin family members are the structural components of gap junctions. This protein and pannexin 1 are abundantly expressed in central nervous system (CNS) and are coexpressed in various neuronal populations. Studies in Xenopus oocytes suggest that this protein alone and in combination with pannexin 1 may form cell type-specific gap junctions with distinct properties. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]

Background

PANX2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to inactivate the PANX2 gene, which encodes for the Pannexin 2 protein, involved in various physiological processes, including cellular signaling and membrane channel formation. These cell lines serve as an invaluable tool for researchers studying gene function and its implications in neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancer biology.

The primary mechanism of action for the PANX2 gene knockout involves CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows precise editing of the genome, leading to the disruption of the PANX2 coding sequence. This inactivation results in an absence of Pannexin 2 protein expression, enabling researchers to investigate the biological consequences of PANX2 loss. The key functions of Pannexin 2 include the formation of ATP-release channels and participation in key signaling pathways, making these knockout lines essential for elucidating the role of this protein in various cellular contexts.

In terms of scientific importance, PANX2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are crucial for advancing our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms. They provide a platform for drug screening, functional assays, and elucidation of molecular pathways involved in disease processes, offering insights that may lead to novel therapeutic targets.

Compared to traditional knockout models, these cell lines offer greater consistency and reproducibility in experimental results, are easier to handle, and allow for high-throughput applications. Researchers can obtain results more efficiently while enjoying reduced variability associated with animal models.

For researchers and clinicians looking for robust models in studying the implications of PANX2 in health and disease, PANX2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a critical advancement. They not only enhance the understanding of complex biological systems but also streamline the research process, facilitating innovation in the field. Our company specializes in high-quality biological products tailored for research applications, ensuring the highest standards of precision and reliability in all our offerings.
