PER2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PER2

Official Full Name: period circadian regulator 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the Period family of genes and is expressed in a circadian pattern in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the primary circadian pacemaker in the mammalian brain. Genes in this family encode components of the circadian rhythms of locomotor activity, metabolism, and behavior. This gene is upregulated by CLOCK/ARNTL heterodimers but then represses this upregulation in a feedback loop using PER/CRY heterodimers to interact with CLOCK/ARNTL. Polymorphisms in this gene may increase the risk of getting certain cancers and have been linked to sleep disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

Background

PER2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically engineered to lack the expression of the Period Circadian 2 (PER2) gene, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of circadian rhythms. By creating a knockout of the PER2 gene, these cell lines offer researchers an invaluable tool for studying the implications of circadian biology on various physiological processes and disease states. The mechanisms by which the PER2 gene operates include its involvement in the feedback loop that maintains circadian rhythm stability; therefore, the absence of this gene can lead to disturbances in cellular homeostasis and metabolism.

The scientific importance of PER2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their wide range of applications within both basic research and clinical settings. They serve as vital models for investigating the effects of disrupted circadian rhythms on sleep disorders, metabolic diseases, cancer progression, and cardiovascular issues. Furthermore, they can be applied in pharmacological studies to evaluate how circadian disruption influences the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs.

What sets these cell lines apart from their alternatives is the precise knockout technique utilized in their generation, ensuring complete ablation of the PER2 gene. This results in a more consistent phenotype suitable for high-fidelity experiments. The ability to create a controlled environment devoid of PER2 also facilitates comparative studies that minimize variability due to the circadian influence.

Researchers and clinicians will find value in the ability of these cell lines to accelerate the understanding of circadian biology and its implications for treating related diseases. By employing PER2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, users can enhance the rigor and relevance of their research initiatives.
