Gene: PHKG2
Official Full Name: phosphorylase kinase catalytic subunit gamma 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, encoded by two different genes. 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, and the hepatic isoform is encoded by this gene. 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 9C, also known as autosomal liver glycogenosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

PHKG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have been designed to silence the PHKG2 gene, which encodes the regulatory subunit of phosphorylase kinase, an essential enzyme involved in glycogen metabolism. These knockout cell lines use advanced CRISPR-Cas9 technology to induce targeted gene deletions, allowing for precise investigation of the biological roles and downstream metabolic pathways associated with PHKG2 deficiency.
The primary function of the PHKG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the study of glycogenolysis and its regulatory mechanisms under normal and aberrant conditions. By providing a controlled environment that lacks the PHKG2 gene, these cell lines serve as an invaluable tool for researchers studying the biochemical pathways that contribute to metabolic disorders such as glycogen storage diseases and diabetes. The absence of PHKG2 leads to altered enzyme activities within the glycogenolytic pathway, enabling scientists to elucidate the gene's role in cellular energy homeostasis and its impact on various physiological responses.
The significance of these cell lines extends beyond basic research; they hold tremendous potential for translational applications in the development of therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases. By understanding the functionality and implications of PHKG2 knockout, researchers can pinpoint therapeutic targets and identify biomarkers for early detection of glycogen-related pathologies.
In comparison to traditional approaches for gene silencing, such as RNA interference (RNAi), the PHKG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer more robust and permanent modifications, allowing for comprehensive analysis of genetic functions without the transient effects commonly associated with RNAi techniques. Furthermore, these cell lines possess unique reproducibility and consistency, essential for high-throughput screening and drug development processes.
Ultimately, the value of PHKG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to empower researchers and clinicians in advancing their understanding of glycogen metabolism and its implications in health and disease.
