PAPSS2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PAPSS2

Official Full Name: 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Sulfation is a common modification of endogenous (lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates) and exogenous (xenobiotics and drugs) compounds. In mammals, the sulfate source is 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), created from ATP and inorganic sulfate. Two different tissue isoforms encoded by different genes synthesize PAPS. This gene encodes one of the two PAPS synthetases. Defects in this gene cause the Pakistani type of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PAPSS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that serve to demonstrate the role of the PAPSS2 gene, which encodes for 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase 2, an essential enzyme involved in sulfate activation and biosynthesis of essential sulfate-containing biomolecules. These knockout cell lines have been meticulously constructed using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, allowing for precise deletion of the PAPSS2 gene, thereby enabling researchers to study the resultant cellular and molecular changes in an environment devoid of this specific enzymatic action.

The key functions of PAPSS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolve around understanding sulfation pathways, which are critical for the metabolism of hormones, neurotransmitters, and the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. By observing the phenotypic effects of PAPSS2 disruption, researchers can elucidate pathways impacted by sulfation, gaining insights into various biological processes including development, cellular signaling, and disease mechanisms like cancer and metabolic disorders.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends deeply into both research and clinical settings. They provide invaluable tools for the investigation of sulfation-related diseases, allowing for the discovery of novel therapeutic targets, as well as enhancing comprehension of basic biochemical pathways. Furthermore, they can be leveraged in drug development to test the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on sulfation and its associated pathways.

What sets PAPSS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternative models is their precise genetic modification, ensuring reproducibility and reliability in experimental results. These cell lines offer unique insights into sulfate biology, a less explored area that holds potential for significant biomedical discoveries.

For researchers and clinicians, adopting the PAPSS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines can accelerate scientific inquiries, enhance innovative research, and facilitate breakthroughs in understanding sulfation-related disorders. Our company prides itself on delivering high-quality, scientifically validated products, and our expertise in genetic engineering ensures that these cell lines meet the rigorous standards required for impactful research.
