PHKA2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PHKA2

Official Full Name: phosphorylase kinase regulatory subunit alpha 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Phosphorylase kinase is a polymer of 16 subunits, four each of alpha, beta, gamma and delta. The alpha subunit includes the skeletal muscle and hepatic isoforms, and the hepatic isoform is encoded by this gene. The beta subunit is the same in both the muscle and hepatic isoforms, and encoded by one gene. The gamma subunit also includes the skeletal muscle and hepatic isoforms, which are encoded by two different genes. The delta subunit is a calmodulin and can be encoded by three different genes. The gamma subunits contain the active site of the enzyme, whereas the alpha and beta subunits have regulatory functions controlled by phosphorylation. The delta subunit mediates the dependence of the enzyme on calcium concentration. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 9A, also known as X-linked liver glycogenosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported, but the full-length nature of these variants has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

Background

PHKA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are highly specialized biological products designed for the study of the PHKA2 gene's role in metabolic pathways, particularly in glycogen metabolism. These cell lines serve as a valuable tool in elucidating the physiological implications of PHKA2 loss-of-function mutations, which are associated with rare but significant metabolic disorders, such as glycogen storage diseases.

The primary function of the PHKA2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic the genetic deletions observed in biological systems lacking functional PHKA2. This innovative product utilizes CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology to generate precise knockout mutations, effectively disrupting the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase and subsequently affecting glycogen accumulation. By employing these knockout lines, researchers can investigate the downstream effects on glucose homeostasis, enzyme regulation, and the overall pathophysiology of glycogen metabolism.

From a scientific perspective, these cell lines play a crucial role in both basic and applied research settings. They allow for in-depth exploration of the molecular mechanisms underpinning metabolic disorders and provide a platform for testing potential therapeutic interventions. These knockout cell lines are also invaluable in drug discovery, enabling researchers to assess the efficacy of compounds aimed at modulating glycogen metabolism in disease conditions.
