PIK3R2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PIK3R2

Official Full Name: phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol and similar compounds, creating second messengers important in growth signaling pathways. PI3K functions as a heterodimer of a regulatory and a catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is a regulatory component of PI3K. Three transcript variants, one protein coding and the other two non-protein coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2019]

Background

PIK3R2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an innovative tool in molecular biology, specifically designed to facilitate the study of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway. These cell lines are genetically engineered to have the PIK3R2 gene—a crucial regulatory subunit of PI3K—disabled, allowing researchers to investigate the biological consequences of its absence. By providing a system to explore how the PI3K pathway is affected without the influence of PIK3R2, these knockout cell lines enable the dissection of complex cellular processes such as metabolism, growth, and apoptosis.

The key functions and mechanisms of PIK3R2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines stem from the disruption of standard PI3K function, which plays a vital role in cellular signaling and metabolism. The absence of PIK3R2 provides a unique opportunity to delineate the specific contributions of different PI3K isoforms in regulating physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and immune responses. This understanding is critical for developing targeted therapies aimed at modulating the PI3K pathway.

Scientifically, these cell lines hold immense value in both research and clinical applications. They can serve as models for cancer biology studies, helping to assess drug responses and resistance in therapeutic interventions targeting PI3K signaling. Furthermore, they may be utilized in functional genomics and screening studies to identify novel regulatory mechanisms within the PI3K pathway or to uncover potential biomarkers.

A significant advantage of the PIK3R2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reliability compared to conventional methods such as siRNA knockdown, which may lead to off-target effects. The permanent genetic alteration ensures the complete loss of PIK3R2 function, allowing for reproducible and consistent results across experiments. This high specificity enables researchers to draw clearer conclusions about the PIK3R2 role in cellular processes.

For researchers, clinicians, and biopharmaceutical companies seeking to unravel the complexities of the PI3K signaling pathway, our PIK3R2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer an unparalleled resource. They provide a streamlined approach to studying gene functionality and its repercussions in disease contexts. With our profound expertise in cellular models and genetic engineering, we are committed to empowering the scientific community with high-quality biological products that drive innovation and discovery in life sciences.
