Gene: PFKFB2
Official Full Name: 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is involved in both the synthesis and degradation of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, a regulatory molecule that controls glycolysis in eukaryotes. The encoded protein has a 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity that catalyzes the synthesis of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, and a fructose-2,6-biphosphatase activity that catalyzes the degradation of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate. This protein regulates fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels in the heart, while a related enzyme encoded by a different gene regulates fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels in the liver and muscle. This enzyme functions as a homodimer. Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PFKFB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines featuring a targeted disruption of the PFKFB2 gene, which encodes a key enzyme involved in the regulation of glycolysis and fructose metabolism. By knocking out this specific gene, researchers can eliminate the expression of PFKFB2, allowing for the investigation of its physiological roles and the metabolic pathways it influences. This powerful tool enables exploration into various cellular processes, including energy metabolism, cell proliferation, and apoptosis.
The mechanism by which PFKFB2 functions is fundamentally related to its role in controlling the levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, an important regulator of glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways. In the absence of PFKFB2, research can elucidate how cells adapt their metabolic pathways to compensate for altered energy dynamics, providing insights into both normal physiology and pathological states such as cancer and metabolic disorders.
From a scientific standpoint, PFKFB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines have significant applications in both research and clinical settings. These cell lines serve as a model for studying metabolic diseases, cancer cell metabolism, and the effects of metabolic perturbation on cellular behavior. They can also aid in the identification of therapeutic targets by providing a clearer understanding of metabolic dysregulation.
This product stands out due to its specificity and ease of use compared to conventional models or pharmacological inhibition strategies. Unlike broader genetic knockouts or chemical inhibitors, PFKFB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines allow for precise investigations into the specific contributions of the PFKFB2 pathway without off-target effects, thus enhancing data reliability.
